What is a mission-driven entrepreneur?

A mission-driven entrepreneur is anyone who puts mission first and money second. You might be a small-business owner trying to help others by providing specialized skills or knowledge. Or, you may be running a non-profit raising money or awareness for a charitable cause. You may be a musician, writer, or artist with a message you want to share. In our community, you will find coaches, writers, sales professionals, financial advisors, and many others. Our members are solopreneurs, contractors, freelancers, and brick-and-mortar business owners, It’s not so much about what you do but why you do it that makes you a good fit for our community. If you are driven by something bigger, we want you to join us!

What if this sounds cool, but I don’t have a business?

If you don’t have a business but are thinking about starting one, greenCOW PACE is a great resource! Starting a business can be confusing because of information overload, and often the advice you receive isn’t tailored specifically to your needs. Our expert resources and encouraging community will give you everything you need to get off on the right foot, so you won’t waste time with things that don’t work.
