Today’s business world is changing at a dizzying pace. We’ve recently experienced a financial crisis, huge technology shifts and a multitude of new innovations. The old ways of business no longer apply and this can be a confusing, isolating experience. It is with this problem in mind that Founder and President Robert Craven and Scale Passion created the Founders Club.
You’re not Alone
While it seems the entire world is transforming, one thing remains the same: the power of community. After years of experience in big companies and building businesses, Craven noticed that entrepreneurs everywhere seem to hit a wall at a certain stage of growth. Old practices no longer apply and growth stagnates. With a specific calling and love for socially responsible businesses, he decided to go about addressing the problem keeping that community in mind. In that spirit, he launched ScalePassion to give practical and tactical answers to specific questions. However, open source, business building was only one aspect of the equation.
While do-it-yourself material is helpful, honest conversation and knowledge sharing is better. Being a entrepreneur is by nature, a very lonely experience. One faces difficult decisions and a competitive market every day. However, many businessmen face similar problems. Why not gather and share the collective wisdom and experience? Why not create a place for open, significant conversations?
A New Community
In creating the Founders Club, Craven has done exactly that. An invitation-only forum for socially responsible entrepreneurs, this innovation provides the needed community support while preserving quality, integrity and privacy. In this way, likeminded businesspeople can have honest, deep conversations which will solve individual’s problems, benefit the community as a whole, and in doing so, grow the momentum for change.
By limiting membership, the conversation takes a specialized, targeted trajectory. This also guarantees privacy and quality, which in turn drives honesty and open, deep discussions. There are areas devoted to the online courses offered through ScalePassion, in which individuals can tackle homework, key issues and clarify lessons. There will also be specific spaces on pertinent topics such as healthcare legislation. Finally, members can participate in expert talks and roundtables. In this way, the Founder’s Club will become the resource for socially responsible entrepreneurs to get answers. It is the hope that this will not only help individual businesses grow but create greater pressure for change on the rest of the business community. By making connections, entrepreneurs can avoid common hurdles as they scale business. True success will be when members, joined through the forum, meet in person and really start to leverage the power of numbers.
