The Green Business Entrepreneurs Success Summit is a week long alternative Green MBA – a FREE virtual event designed to take you through the stages of green entrepreneurship, while providing you with practical strategies, tactics, and tools to succeed.
Whether you are an aspiring green entrepreneur or have a sustainable business you want to take to the next level, you will get valuable information just by attending this event series.
Did you know that “Business for Good” isn’t simply an ideal, it’s a rapidly growing business sector? That’s right. You are not alone.
You are part of a movement of change-making social entrepreneurs using business as a solution to some of the world’s most pressing concerns. You are co-creating a triple bottom line economy that cares about people and the planet, while making a healthy profit. You are a believer in natural capitalism and compassionate commerce.
You care deeply about the world and you know you have unique gifts to offer. You want your life to be a life of service, doing what you love, while helping other people and making the world a better place. You want to unleash your unique genius, make a positive impact, and be well paid for it.
But sometimes it’s hard to break free from the old paradigms:
* You can’t do good and make money at the same time
* If you want to help people, you need to work in a charity
* It’s not possible to do what you love and get paid for it
* You need to make a lot of money at a soul sucking job first so you can give it all away to charity when you are old
* You can’t start a business until you have many years of experience & an MBA
* You can’t succeed in business until you have years of experience & an MBA
* You can’t possibly compete against big companies with the big budgets
* Consumers are not willing to spend more money on eco friendly products
* You have a startup? That’s nice. When are you getting a real job?
It can be lonely being an entrepreneur, because most of the people around you are afraid to take risks. Your friends and family may not support your entrepreneurial endeavors, because they are secretly threatened by your freedom to choose your own destiny. Some of the people close to you may even want to see you fail, because they see it as proof that they made the right choice in choosing mediocrity.
The key to successful entrepreneurship is to never forget your inner power and to surround yourself with equally powerful changemakers. Fortunately, the Internet makes connecting with amazing and inspiring changemakers so much easier!
