Chasing Miracles
Chasing Miracles reflects my journey as a social entrepreneur and efforts to launch Proxy Apparel, a fashion-forward fair trade apparel company.
MOst recent correspondence to advisor
I’ve been pondering your request to think about my definition of success. What this exercise has forced me to think about is how my definition of success is different from what it is that I want. For example, I know that what I want is to launch a Proxy collection and bring it to market. However, if I accomplish this it doesn’t mean that I will consider it a success. Which is perhaps the reason why you asked me to do this in the first place.
However, I consider my definition of success to be three-pronged, similar to Proxy’s business model: to be profitable, to fulfill the social mission to promote fair trade and provide employment to women, and to create value for shareholders/ and or ROI to investors. Oh, and I would like to eventually become a skillful and principled CEO of said venture.
I realize that my response may come off as cliche, but I am certain that I only want to proceed, and continue to put everything on the line if all three of these things have the potential to be true. Even if the only shareholder is me.
I suppose the reason I continue down the path is that I absolutely believe that its possible.
So- do you have anytime to get together soon to work on the revision of my business plan:) ?
