#mission driven

Starting a company extracts so much energy and conviction that not having a clear-cut goal and meaningful mission can hamper your success. This is why, at Virta, our mission was clearly defined: reverse early type-2 diabetes in 100 million people by 2025. -Sami Inkinen, Cofounder of Virta Health

5 Inspiring Companies You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

There is a trend in American business that has been written about under many titles—Conscious Business, Conscious Capitalism, Firms of Endearment, Start With Why, Business As Unusual, Wired To Care, More Human, It’s Not About The Coffee, People Before Profit, and Small Giants. What these books touch on is how these leaders stand out due to their unconventional decisions around growth. But what is…

Former Greater Keene Chamber of Commerce president Tom Dowling has often shared that adage when talking about volunteering. I was reminded of that when sitting in as a guest to the Loudoun Chamber of Commerce's Non-Profit Initiative Committee meeting this morning. Really great people who are committed to helping mission driven organizations in their area. 

As we approach the end of 2011, some of you are asking yourselves what do I need to accomplish in the coming year.  You might be thinking about new projects or benchmarking the status of current efforts.  You may be seeking inspiration from the successes (or failures) of others.

At UCP Mission Driven Business, we are thinking about all those things and hope to be your companion in the coming time, in part, through this tumblr technology.  We will update you on thought leaders' thoughts and inspiring stories of accomplishments and our own success stories.

The name Mission Driven Business probably connotes different things to each person, and that is fine.  To us it means creating and fostering an entrepreneurial culture in the delivery of services and advocacy for people with disabilities. 

We have no road map for this drive, but many fellow travelers.

This tumblr will be read by participants from inside and outside the UCP network and around the globe.  We hope this will be a place to learn, converse, challenge and inspire ourselves and each other.
