Protect It In a Trust for Perpetuity
Imagine for a moment what it feels like to hold a vision so powerful that it could change not just your life, but also the lives of those you inspire.
Now, imagine that vision slipping through your fingers—not because of your passion or dedication, but due to uncertainties and concerns about protecting what you’re working so hard to build.

Your Concerns?
Think about the last time you felt completely confident in your decisions,
knowing they were protected, private, and perfectly aligned with your deepest values.
It's a powerful feeling, isn't it?
But for many of us, navigating the complexities of legal and financial planning,
mixed with the challenge of building genuine trust, can seem overwhelming.
It can feel like you’re on the brink of a big decision, hesitant and unsure if your next move will lead you to safety or into the unknown.
Many feel paralyzed by the fear of losing their
hard-earned assets or failing to pass on a
meaningful legacy.
You’re not alone in this.

Do any of these questions pass through your mind?
Am I doing enough to protect my assets?
Can I trust those around me to uphold my vision?

Create a circle of trust that you can count on for sustainable growth.

FAQs
Will I be able to create my own Trust / Foundation / PMA through Building Trust? Or do I have to join the Golden Trust Foundation?
You can absolutely build your own! AND you can build as many as you want with our support as long as you are a member.
Our goal is to empower you to have the confidence in creating these foundational documents and agreements, but more importantly, it is a part of our mission to give you the wisdom of how to successfully run a Trust, PMA, and/or Foundation.
The documents help us to clarify vision and protect our resources, yet it is the people who help to manage and steward these organizations together that brings power to the intentions of setting these structures up in the first place.
Is Building Trust about the journey of becoming an honorable and trustworthy person OR are you helping set up legal trusts?
To clarify first, we work in the private jurisdiction of LAW - land, air, and water given to us to steward as our birthright. We do not organize, associate or assemble within the statutory jurisdiction of the legal system.
Now to answer the original question, BOTH.
We are here to assist and support in drafting foundational documents for Private Irrevocable Trusts, Private Member Associations, and Unincorporated Foundations (also referred to as Faith-Based Organizations, although they do not need to have any religious association).
We have found the practice of building trust within ourselves and others, along with cultivating trust within our organizations leads to stronger and more successful fulfillment of our mission and vision.
The Inner Work is most certainly a reflection of the Outer Work (and vice-versa).

We do not offer legal advice - we work in Divine / Private Jurisdiction rather than Statutory / Public Jurisdiction. At this time we cannot recommend any attorneys that can properly represent the Private Realm and is a person of High Integrity (we will change this if/when we do have any recommendations in the future).

Can international residents become members of Building Trust?

🛡️ Real Estate

3. You shift into a role model by practicing the strategies laid out in Building Trust, and can share with family members how they can protect their resources too.
What measures does Building Trust take to educate members on asset protection and privacy?
Protection & Privacy are core principles for Building Trust and are a continuous topic we explore together. We provide essential training and classes on these topics, invite other experts to share their perspective on how to best protect ourselves in the private realm, and continue to learn, refine, and share through our experiences together.
Is there a community forum and platform for members to interact and share experiences?
Yes! We have a private community space only available for our members. This forum and community is linked to our educational portal.
One of the greatest assets is our community to connect and learn from each other.
What if I already have an LLC / Corporation / Sole-proprietorship/ DBA? Can I still set up a PMA or Trust?
This is a question I receive from those wondering if a PMA would work for them if they already have an LLC.
One way I recommend utilizing both is to keep offering services through the LLC initially, but if you like working with them, offer them an opportunity to join as a member of your PMA.
This gives you an opportunity to see if you and your client are aligned in terms of values, goals, and expectations before offering them an opportunity to join your Private Member Association.
If I had an LLC, I would use it to offer services that can be 1 session…and then if they wanted to continue working together (and I felt aligned with continuing to offer my services), I could offer them an opportunity to join a longer program, ex. 6-month transformative journey for self-growth).
In this way, your profits in the public realm of commerce would be kept low - you could still benefit from some of the business deductions when filing taxes and perhaps your taxes owed would be much less as many of your clients turn into members in your PMA.
The LLC can continue to handle all public-facing commercial activities, providing services or products to the general market, ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
The PMA can be used for more exclusive offerings, focusing on specialized knowledge sharing, workshops, or unique experiences that are only available to members. This dual-structure approach allows you to maintain the legal protections and organizational benefits of an LLC while leveraging the privacy and associative benefits of a PMA.
It's important to be transparent with clients about the differences between the LLC and PMA, including the legal implications, the nature of membership, and what they can expect from joining the PMA. This ensures that clients make informed decisions about transitioning from the LLC's services to the PMA's offerings.
Operating both an LLC and a PMA requires careful consideration of lawful and financial structures to ensure that they are distinct entities with clear boundaries.

Our Board is made up of individuals who have shown consistently over time their commitment to the values of Trust, Integrity, Open Communication, Ability to work through tension and conflict and wisdom in operating in the Private Realm.

What if I already have an LLC / Corporation / Sole-proprietorship/ DBA? Can I still set up a PMA or Trust?
This is a question I receive from those wondering if a PMA would work for them if they already have an LLC.
One way I recommend utilizing both is to keep offering services through the LLC initially, but if you like working with them, offer them an opportunity to join as a member of your PMA.
This gives you an opportunity to see if you and your client are aligned in terms of values, goals, and expectations before offering them an opportunity to join your Private Member Association.
If I had an LLC, I would use it to offer services that can be 1 session…and then if they wanted to continue working together (and I felt aligned with continuing to offer my services), I could offer them an opportunity to join a longer program, ex. 6-month transformative journey for self-growth).
In this way, your profits in the public realm of commerce would be kept low - you could still benefit from some of the business deductions when filing taxes and perhaps your taxes owed would be much less as many of your clients turn into members in your PMA.
The LLC can continue to handle all public-facing commercial activities, providing services or products to the general market, ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
The PMA can be used for more exclusive offerings, focusing on specialized knowledge sharing, workshops, or unique experiences that are only available to members. This dual-structure approach allows you to maintain the legal protections and organizational benefits of an LLC while leveraging the privacy and associative benefits of a PMA.
It's important to be transparent with clients about the differences between the LLC and PMA, including the legal implications, the nature of membership, and what they can expect from joining the PMA. This ensures that clients make informed decisions about transitioning from the LLC's services to the PMA's offerings.
Operating both an LLC and a PMA requires careful consideration of lawful and financial structures to ensure that they are distinct entities with clear boundaries.
