What is this notion of a for profit non-profit?
Preparing to establish Mid Life Celebration, LLC in 2008, retaining an accountant was a top recommendation from other established small business entrepreneurial friends.
My vision was to create something that would raise a lot money and then give it to the folks dedicated to finding a cure for Crohn’s disease.
Calling the accountant, an unusual discovery – he didn’t do non-profits.
Immediately (must be deep Disney creativity) the notion of a for profit non-profit entered my consciousness.
The 10-year plan included five years to create the platform, become a brand, and most importantly, make money.
Four point nine years have passed.
Can I do it within five?
Insight: Dreams come true when we are flexible, creative, and determined to only accept success.

If memory serves me correctly, Walt Disney was told to give up on his dreams and “get a job.” But he pushed forward. If you dream it, you can do it. 🙂
Bob, your memory is good. Walt’s dna is in me in an untypical way relative to the typical “love of Disney’. On so many levels. And I’m okay with that.
