12 Questions to assess if you have a Noble Purpose

Dear reader,

I was thinking last week that many people have noble aspirations but don't know it.
I constructed a questionairre that can give you an idea of where you stand.

If you answer 3 out of twelve yes, you are a noble aspirant:

1. My company is "green","sustainable" or socially conscious.
2. I know that being good is not enough; we have to be profitable/viable.
3. I am committed to a higher purpose that is at the heart of my my business.
4. Innovation is critical to my business or service.
5. I want my team to aspire to something of value to the world.
6. I put my time and money into a business that has a higher purpose.
7. It is critical to my company to collaborate well.
8. My conscious dictates that I work in a socially conscious business.
9. I believe strongly that a business can be good and profitable.
10. I want my gifts and talents to be in service of a higher purpose.
11. My investors expect us to make a profit; treat all stakeholders collaboratively and have a global consciousness.
12. I am committed to making my noble aspiration a reality.

I invite you to write or call me to continue this conversation.
I would love to help you execute your vision.
