507 Sarah Olivieri: Profiting from Non-Profits

How Best to Leverage a Social Impact Mission.

Many women are drawn into business because they have a heart-centered mission to change lives and improve the world.

The mission focus compels many women to create non-profits, assuming that social impact is somehow contrary to building a successful for-profit – and when they do, they miss out on the opportunity to create true wealth.

Today we talk about how limiting beliefs about money, lack of self-deservedness, and a feeling that its somehow wrong or inconsistent with mission to build wealth, motivate women who would otherwise build profitable enterprises gravitate to non-profits.

So, what are the upsides and downsides of organizing as a non-profit?

And if you run a non-profit, how to optimize operations, align a team, and garner the resources you need without burnout.

Sarah Olivieri began her business career in the nonprofit world, learning first-hand as an executive director, all the pitfalls and challenges that come with running a nonprofit. She was the co-founder of the Open Center for Autism, the Executive Director of the Helping of War Foundation, and the co-author of Lesson Plan a la Carte: Integrated Planning for Students with Special Needs.

Then she started a for-profit to help nonprofits simplify operations, build aligned teams, and get diversified funding and revenue sources called PivotGround.
