Radical Business

Description

Do you have, work for, or dream of starting a business or organization that positively impacts the world while also turning a profit?

Radical Business is a blueprint for business owners and businesses ready to usher in a newer, practical form of doing business. By learning more about what a social enterprise is and how it can apply to any business, employee, activist, consumer, or citizen, we can use the golden rule as a catalyst for a different mindset.

Radical business is not a brand new operational system, it’s a way of returning to the root or origin. A genuinely radical business goes back to its root purpose: to meet a customer’s need, solve a problem, and provide value.
