I’m passionately involved and engaged in the entrepreneurial community. Particularly living in the Bay Area where there is a community of brilliant, young entrepreneurs, I’m very fortunate to be connected to and surrounded by them.
There is a current explosion of young entrepreneurs and the businesses that they’re creating with the purpose and mission of building companies which enhance our lives. More and more entrepreneurs are focusing on creating businesses that are very exciting from a revenue and profit perspective as well as having personal meaning and value in their own lives and positively impacting others.
For me, the connection sparks fly when I meet entrepreneurs who are passionately committed and dedicated to creating financially successful businesses that embedded within their business is their personal values and purpose to have a positive enhancement and impact on their lives and others. The businesses we focus on at Mindfull Ventures are in the areas of health, environment and healthy lifestyle.
Mindfull Network
A key example of the type of innovative entrepreneur that is aligned with our focus is a brilliant group of young entrepreneurs who created the Summit Series. They create events that bring likeminded, innovative, leading edge thinkers together in really fun environments to spur creativity, connection and innovation.
Summit recently bought a 10,000-acre ski resort in the mountains outside of Salt Lake, Utah to host their events and build a community of innovative thinkers. They created an event there this summer, which I attended, bringing brilliant, leading edge thinkers together for four days of fun and connection. We enjoyed a myriad of activities from mountain biking and horse back riding to engaging with incredible speakers on topics ranging from meditation, lucid dreaming, crowdfunding, investing in sustainable businesses and the future of relationships.
In one weekend, the community that I connected with through Summit has been incredibly rich and rewarding. It’s provided a number of exciting new relationships and opportunities for Mindfull Investors to consider for investment.
Another example of the innovative entrepreneur and community we are connected to is Wisdom 2.0, which I attended and spoke at in San Francisco this February. This event brought together leading edge thinkers to share how we can bring our full and best selves to the world in all dimensions of our life, from our business life to our personal life.
Of the prominent keynote speakers there, we heard from Arianna Huffington, Tony Hsieh, Ekhart Tolle, Alanis Morrisette, and John Kabat-Zinn to name a few. Each one spoke about his or her own personal life and story and how they’re using their energy, their life force, and their financial success to make contributions to enhance people’s lives.
A Mindfull Future of Young Entrepreneurs
I’m happy and excited to be able to share the personal stories from some of the young entrepreneurs that we’re working with . For some of them, they’ll be guest-blogging and sharing their own story firsthand.
You’ll learn about their personal story and journey, why they created the company, the product they have, how it provides meaning and purpose in their own life, and how excited they are to bring this company and product to market and share it with others. We’ll be doing some guest appearances and videos with these leading entrepreneurs in the coming weeks and months. You won’t want to miss it, so be sure to check back in each week.
