My big dream is to build a self-sustaining ecosystem of hope and empowerment before I die.

My big dream before I die.
Here’s a sketched map of the workings.

There are for-profit components (actually, public-benefit components) and non-profit components.

Public benefit organizations are… orgs operating for the sole purpose of making a profit, however, that profit (or a % of the profit) is used for a public benefit.

Non profit organizations are… orgs operating for the sole purpose of a public service.

“My big dream is to build a self-sustaining ecosystem of hope and empowerment before I die.”

My dream is to use my past experience of running for-profit companies to build profit generating organizations under the Quietly Working umbrella, where 100% of profits will support the non profit efforts under the Quietly Working Foundation umbrella. For my dream to be complete, all of these organizations will need to be able to operate successfully without my involvement, so when I die, they will continue.

 

Here’s a breakdown of the organizations I have planned and how they fit into this ecosystem.

Broken but still in the fight

It can be so overwhelming to begin clarifying a dream. I believe many of us don’t for that exact reason.

 

Obviously, this aint a one man show, and dear Jesus, there’s a long way to go. I’m just painting the picture that was given to me.

 

God will continue to bring the perfect people into my life to make this a living effort, a family dedicating their hard work to helping others see the love that our creator has waiting for them.
