**How to change the world, make money and have fun**.

**This guide, the first entry in Ben Cohen’s new Social Venture Network series, 
uses real-world examples to show how “triple bottom line” practices – profits, people,
and planet – have helped companies throughout North America thrive. **

The book contains first steps that owners or managers can use to start narrowing
the gap between personal values and business practices.

It also illustrates the many dimensions of value-driven business, addressing the
varied roles of customers, employees, the community, the environment, shareholders,
and owners. Included is a self-assessment tool that lets readers determine how successful
their company will be in implementing values-driven practices.
