"To help each other, we have to connect." Sonia Simone
Maybe the above quote is a given to you, but I'll bet that if you read her entire blog post, you'll find it to be inspirational -- even though it's ultimately about selling you something.
This post by a for-profit entrepreneur illustrates how "make the world a better place" forces aren't limited to the charitable sector, and shows that there are very practical ways to combine those forces with the desire/need to make money. You don't even have to get into the social entrepreneurship/benefit corporation discussion.
By the way, Ms. Simone is 1,000% right. Any good organizer will tell you that change doesn't happen unless people connect with each other and develop relationships that drive a healthy sense of mutual reciprocity.
She's a co-founder of copyblogger (it looks like they refer to their company in lower case). I have no relationship to the company.
