What’s happenin’?  I really can’t tell you how excited I am for the things we have on the horizon here at Change Nation.  From the reformatted podcast to the book we’re writing, to the online classes we’ll be launching, this is definitely a swell time to be an agent for social change.

 

To celebrate, I want to take you to school - social entrepreneur's school that is :)  Don’t worry, there’s no homework involved, I’ll just be gracing your inbox with a new set of tips every Friday. These are the basics of everything we’re putting into our book, online course, and videos.  I’m giving it all to you, because I think you have it in you to become a champ in social entrepreneurship. So, keep your eyes on that inbox every Friday morning so that we can help you grow from aspiring social entrepreneur into a rockstar for social change. Don’t like reading emails?  I’ve got you covered - I’ll be narrating this entire series on my podcast too.  Click here to subscribe to that.

 

Here’s what you can look forward to learning about over the next few weeks:

 

Everything I Learned from 101 Social Entrepreneurs (aka social entrepreneurship 101 ;)  

 

How to craft your why

This tells your customers you’re being authentic, and it’s the biggest part of your branding and marketing efforts as a social entrepreneur.

Your people, your purpose, and your product (or service)

How to build out who you help, how you help them, and how you build a community of customers.

Speaking in your brand’s voice

People love catchy brands that have a creative way of communicating with them.  In this email, I’ll tell you how to do that.

Storytelling like a hollywood superstar

People relate to stories.  You need to be able to tell yours like a champ to win people over.  It’s easier than you might think, and I’ll show you how...

How to get the dollar to make the difference

I’ll provide you with all kinds of avenues for getting funding - including a $1k grant for anyone willing to do some customer interviews (which you should be doing anyway!)

Legal structures for social entrepreneurs

Sustaining your impact

The best ways to create the profit that fuels your purpose.

What about community?

There are tons of communities out there for new social entrepreneurs, let’s check out a few of them and get you networked in.

As always, my content will be packed with real life examples & tools. I’ve interviewed more social entrepreneurs than anyone on the planet, so each of these mini-classes will be packed with real life insights, setbacks, and successes.  Heck, I’ll probably even throw in some new videos and such for you too.

 

Alrighty, that’s about it for now, stay tuned, keep it real, and get ready to rock and roll as a social entrepreneur.
