Starting a Peaceful World Bed & Breakfast, Hostel, Small Hotel or Café

This is your invitation to get involved, to appreciate and to help save the Earth's precious cultures, environments and creatures. Stay with local people in small hotels when you travel, meeting the locals and knowing your money is going to local causes, not corporate executives somewhere. Make friends. Experience other lifestyles. Lend a hand.

 

A Better World Of Small Businesses

 

Help create a global network of locally owned and operated small hotels where savvy travelers can be in touch with local people and with the world's environmental and cultural treasures. Peaceful World Bed and Breakfasts are places of exchanges between the local community and international travelers. They afford visitors experiential contact with local traditions, problems and answers. They are about participation! And good ideas! And friendships!

 

Start a bed and breakfast! If you live in an "overdeveloped" country, let your small hotel become your joyful career, a networking center for the world. In a developing country, help local people get started for an income of their own.

 

How do I start?

  • First, you purchase a suitable building

  • Or you build one

  • Or you rent one on a long-term lease

  • Or you find a motel or small hotel in operation now and purchase that and create it anew

  • Or you find owners who are retiring and help them out as resident managers with purchase option for you

  • Or you find owners who are retiring and they just want someone to take over the daily responsibilities, and you work out an arrangement with them.

 

This is presuming you have years of successful business experience in B&B operation and have done a lot of research. A good way to start out is to find employment in a b&b you admire, and learn the ins and outs, the ups and downs. You might even be good enough they would invite you to come in as a partner.

 

Or if you are in a third world country you can organize the local community to build and operate a B&B that they own. This is good for Peace Corps volunteers and travelers with long-term commitment to developmental entrepreneurship.

 

The Business Side and the Creative Side

 

Management of Peaceful World bed & breakfasts requires two kinds of people, first the operational-business manager and second, the person who makes the Inn unique, the spiritual-creative manager. The person in the first role may already be an experienced b&b owner, or he or she can learn this profession at other B&Bs.

Aspiring spiritual managers, the visionaries of which Sami Sunchild is a prime example, can apprentice themselves to her. For a financial donation which is earmarked for Peaceful World development and loans in third world countries, Sami will help you bring out the best of your own creative, spiritual and social talents.

Through career consultation, Sami Sunchild can help you develop your own themed B&B in a way that will attract media attention and a stream of satisfied customer-clients.

 

Each one, teach one... 

 

Part of your agreement, just as Sami teaches you, will be your promise to mentor two or more other spiritual directors for other Peaceful World Inns, donating your fees to a fund for Peaceful World Centers in developing countries.

 

Sami envisions a great mixing and friendship of all Peaceful World founders, visiting among themselves in a vast, global community!
