Keeping in mind the mission is [to] disseminate information that helps people change their lives…, who can we work with that will allow us to move that …mission forward?
–Kim Dority
This final part of my interview with Kim was the most illuminating part of our conversation (at least for me!) Kim talks about ways to generate revenue and stay true to your mission at the same time, the connection between accountability to the mission and being financially sustainable, and how ultimately, true financial viability is required to create change in the world.
This recording is about 12 minutes long.
Okay, one of the best quotes from Kim that I can’t resist highlighting:
Information is not free. If you are going to be a grown up about it, and be responsible for the long term success of being able to deliver that information, it’s important… to have it be financially sustainable.”
Beautifully articulated. My thanks to Kim for her wisdom and time. You can contact Kim via email, kdority [at] disaboom.com, LinkedIn, or Twitter (@gkimberly).
One final lesson. In these interviews, I feel privileged to connect with kindred spirits. This is part of community-building. If you are a wisdom entrepreneur or starting down that path, spend time finding your kindred spirits. Help them to be more of who they are and it will create a stronger, more engaged community.
