[ALIGNED]: A Blog Series For Entrepreneurs
[ALIGNED] is an article series launched in May of 2020, devoted to helping entrepreneurs create an Aligned Company and an Aligned Life.
An Aligned Company is…
Resilient: Able to withstand external and internal pressures and threats to its survival.
Highly Profitable: Not driven just by revenue and growth, and not reliant on investor $.
Self-Managing: Able to run without the owner(s) involved in the day-to-day (or at all).
Purpose-Driven: Driven by a mission greater than just the pursuit of profit, growth or wealth.
An Aligned Life is…
…in line with one's highest ideals, values, and aspirations.
…lived with authenticity in one’s work, relationships, and play.
…one that contains plenty of space for connected and fulfilling relationships.
Subscribe to the [Aligned] series and I’ll send you updates when new posts are published (weekly)
