how to profit with purpose and grow a business with love

How does purpose help you grow a profitable business that people love? What exactly does it mean to be a purposeled business? What higher purpose should your business serve and how do you serve it in a meaningful way? Purpose in business has become a common expectation, from employees, customers and investors. Yet many business leaders struggle to understand what it means for their business. For Love & Money offers clarity on the most recent evolution of organisational purpose. It equates the demand for purpose in business with social purpose. Business as a force for good. Sharing inspiration from businesses such as Intrepid Travel, Outland Denim, Patagonia, Unilever, PayPal and Future Super, this book makes a powerful connection between the two things that drive social purposeled businesses (which are inextricably linked): LOVE. Of people, planet and humanity. It's the raw emotion behind purpose. And MONEY. Profit and commercial success. Why are they interlinked? Because when purpose drives profit, it offers the ability to play a bigger game; to be ambitious in the change you seek to create over the long term. Meanwhile you build a meaningful business for everyone involved; you attract passionately invested employees, customers, partners, suppliers and investors; and you build trust, the currency of a valued business. Written for leaders of medium and large organisations, but also relevant to small business leaders, this book offers the following clear outcomes: Clarity on what it means today to be a business led by a higher purpose Insight into the powerful movement behind business as a force for good Inspiration from successful social purposeled businesses A methodology on how to define and embed meaningful purpose into your business and brand A clear 'howto' approach to get you started on identifying and articulating your brand purpose. For Love & Money combines inspiration, insight and practical resources to empower you to reimagine your business and the higher purpose that will drive its success through the volatility of the twentyfirst century
