What to expect
You want to build your own business. A profitable business, that's essential, and a good one too. A business that is not only financially successful, but works to propel progress in the world we live in.
An impossible dream? Not for Alexandre Mars. Part of a new generation of philanthropists, he is one of the world's most respected entrepreneurs. After founding and selling a string of successful tech starts ups, today he runs a global mission-driven foundation. He works for profit and purpose. Now you can achieve this too.
You need to. The world needs you to. If you don't, who will?
Packed with ideas, tips and practical examples, Mission Possible gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to become an entrepreneur. This is your guide to create, launch and grow your own business. You will discover that it is possible to make money and have a bigger mission too.
Get to work and take your lead from insider interviews with many of the world's changemaker entrepreneurs such as the founder of Pinterest and the Buddhist monk who created Headspace. Define your mission then work harder and smarter on it than anyone else.
Be successful. Very successful. Because then you can become the true driver of change.
