"Entrepreneurs as "soloists" will be replaced by orchestras playing a stronger, more credible tune.
" --Steve Case
Good Morning Beautiful Business!
Judy Wicks is an entrepreneur, activist and author working to build a more compassionate, environmentally sustainable and locally based economy. She notes, "Not long after I opened the White Dog Cafe in Philadelphia in 1983, I hung a sign in my bedroom closet in my home above the business -- right where I would see it each morning. "Good morning, beautiful business," it read, reminding me daily of just how beautiful business can be when we put our creativity, care, and energy into producing a product or service that our community needs. I was just beginning my journey. I didn't know then what I do now: that when you connect head and heart in business, you can transform not just business as usual, but the economy in general. You can find a way to make economic exchange one of the most satisfying, meaningful, and loving of human interactions."
BE THE CHANGE
What can you do to support local business and community? Perhaps you can shop at a Farmer's Market or from a local artisan.
