While recent national reports state that there has been an overall decline in entrepreneurship in the US, there are some regions where entrepreneurship is trending up.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation typically go hand in hand as one creates a product or service, but can sometimes get lost as one establishes and then begins to grow their business.
Whatever the term used - Conscious Capitalism, Purpose-Driven Companies or Stakeholder-Based Businesses – these all describe business models centered and aligned around a higher societal purpose, focused on creating value for ALL stakeholders.
