Meanwhile, millions of entrepreneurs who want a more responsible and compassionate marketplace have launched a new breed of socially focused business models. Sevenly founder Dale Partridge uncovers the seven core beliefs shared by consumers, starters, and leaders behind this transformation.

15. EVEN GOOD CAN GO BAD

In todays ever-changing business world, the idea of people over profit might be one of the easiest things to say but one of the hardest things to actually do. Yet in the right hands and from the right heartsuch as Dalesthe words in this book can become incredibly powerful and galvanizing. They can inspire employees and customers and communities to join together and not only want more out of their professional and personal lives but want to do more. And when that happens, people can change the world.

Still, to have real impact and to make a lasting impression in hearts, minds, and bottom lines, all businesses, whether theyre cause-based or not, must go beyond words and have their ideals and ideas turned into constant, passionate, and relentless action. I believe Dale has proven his ability to lead such a movement, and this certainly has been shown through his recent entrepreneurial efforts. But the idea of conscious capitalism, and the democracy of that idea, proves that it can do so much more.

The beauty and brilliance of what Dale strives to achieve day in and day out, and what he has written about here, combine some of the most powerful and time-resistant business ethossuch as quality, authenticity, and transparencywith other essentials that resonate much deeper. Truth, generosity, and courage are not and cannot simply be buzzwords in todays business world. They must be at the core. And they must be sent forth into the world by people who passionately believe in these ideals.

Much like TOMS, what Dale is encouraging is unique to our time and place and generation. Thanks to technology, many of the old rules of business no longer apply, or are being rewritten daily, weekly, and monthly. Whats amazing to see is that more often than not, todays countless social entrepreneurs are sidestepping them altogether. They are people, after all, and their influence is immense.

Its an exciting time. Its real, its not going away, and its only going to get bigger, braver, and better with people like Dale Partridge helping to lead the way.

Carpe diem.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

#PeopleOverProfit

Ive seen the same physician in Southern California for more than a decade, but somehow this visit felt different. Walking into the waiting room, I was greeted by a sterile scent and silence. Knowing the drill, I wrote my name on a clipboard with a plastic pen stamped with the name of a cholesterol pill. The receptionist didnt look up to acknowledge my presence, so after a few awkward moments trying to catch her eye, I took a seat.

Like most doctors offices, there wasnt much to occupy ones attention. I could either stare at the tacky wallpaper or thumb through germ-covered magazines from 2009.

Squeezed into a stained, cloth chair and confined by eighteen sniffling and snotty people, I opted for the latter.

Three outdated magazines later, I looked at my watch to realize that I was forty-five minutes past my scheduled appointment time. My foot tapped nervously, and I shifted in my seat. Finally, a nurse popped her head out of the door: Mr. Partridge. I rose and followed her down the hallway where she recorded my weight and temperature before dropping me off in a bleak room.

I waited again. This time, without even the benefit of a Readers Digest. Finally, at one hour and twelve minutes past my appointment time, the physician arrived.

Hello, Mr. Partridge, he said without looking up from my chart. What can I help you with?

I wanted to say he could help me by making me feel like I actually mattered, but I chose instead to explain that I had a killer case of heartburn.
