Sherpa System
Find a guide, then become one. In WA\, a Sherpa is a citizen a step ahead of you. A Sherpa can build it with you. What gets built is yours.
“A Sherpa earns a living by giving. LivGiv from 2010 is coming back to life here.”

The model
A people first
Sherpa is the name of a people before it is the name of a job. In Tibetan, shar means east and pa means people: the people of the east. They are of Tibetan origin, and their heartland is in Nepal: the Khumbu, Pharak and Solu, below Everest.
At 11:30 in the morning on 29 May 1953, Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa, and Edmund Hillary became the first people known to stand on the summit of Everest. They reached it together.
Not every Sherpa climbs, and not every guide is a Sherpa. WA\ borrows the word with respect, for what the climbers made it mean: someone who knows the way, goes with you, and comes back down for the next person.
Find a guide
You start as a citizen, free. A Sherpa can build with you, so the first steps are never taken alone.
Climb by rungs
You climb from Self to Star, and you pay for the next rung only when the last one produced.
Guide the next
A circle you planted. A life that runs on what you own. Some go on to guide others as Sherpas.
