You don't have to choose between business success and doing the right thing. You can do both. Green business expert, Glenn Croston, the author of "Starting Green" and "75 Green Businesses", can help you succeed with practical and innovative solutions. The question isn't if you can afford to go green, but if you can afford not to. Whatever question you have, whatever challenge you have encountered, get in touch and we can get started finding cost effective solutions that move your business forward.
Finding the Right Opportunity to Start Your Own Business
If you're looking for new opportunities, the green business world is full of them. Green business is one of the most important business trends of our time, and you don't have to be an environmentalist or an engineer to be a part of it. The question is not whether there are opportunities you can pursue, but which opportunity is best for you. As the author of "75 Green Businesses" and a widely recognized green business expert, Glenn Croston can help you find the green opportunity that works for you using the Resource Inventory Self Evaluation (RISE) to walk you through five simple questions:
1. What professional experience do you have?
2. What internal resources do you have (skills, talents and knowledge)?
3. What external resources do have (time, money, equipment, car, office)?
4. Where do you live and how does this shape opportunities for you?
5. What do you love?
There are green opportunities for people from almost any background, including your unique blend of experience, knowledge, talents, skills, and interests. Glenn Croston will work directly with you to find the business opportunity that fits you best. The initial consultation by email is free to see if the RISE evaluation is the right tool for your current needs.
