It's been a big day for us today. We just announced the merger of XL Group and OneLife, and the launch of our website at www.onelifecentral.com - You'll get all the latest when you download the Lighthouse Blueprint there, or have a look at our press release here. Few bits from it here:
Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) March 26, 2010 --
A Global Entrepreneurship Monitor special report on Entrepreneurship education published in March 2010 reported that across 30 countries surveyed, the lack of quality education in entrepreneurship was the third most frequently mentioned constraint to entrepreneurial success after financial support and government policies. It also ranked as the No. 1 recommendation by experts on how to improve the entrepreneurial environment in these countries.
According to XL Group Chairman and co-founder, Roger James Hamilton, the merger will lead to entrepreneur education centres to address this need. "Most entrepreneurs and investors are constantly seeking more effective connection to the resources and connections that will serve them. The OneLife centres we are developing provide serviced offices, mentoring, and a full schedule of education with access to world-class speakers and entrepreneurs. They will also support XL Nation’s mission of connecting change makers to address and contribute to global challenges more effectively."
Roy McDonald, founder of OneLife, commented “XL Group has attracted a global customer base while we have been focused on a local model and comprehensive support to serve local investors and their families. This merger gives us the opportunity to take our OneLife centre model and expand it internationally.” The new company, One Life International, will begin with its main offices in Gold Coast, Sydney and Singapore, with two workshop retreats in Hunter Valley and Bali. It will begin by focusing on developing new centres in Australia.
Hope you like the direction we're taking and look forward to seeing you at XL National Day, EBS or one of our upcoming events...

As a part of the XL Nation and a Founding Member I am delighted to hear of the merger and trust this means that we now have access to both XL and One Life. That would be awesome. Looking forward to doing an EBS in Bali. Many thanks Margaret Wilmink
