Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal and business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Laura Green, Founder of Impact Vector, located in Atlanta, GA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Impact Vector is a strategy firm working at the intersection of impact and operations. Our customers are mission-driven organizations, typically nonprofits, who need help defining impact in alignment with their mission and building operations and strategy to support that impact.
Tell us about yourself
I've always been a stickler for the process, but across industries, I've seen how often unnecessary systems encumber teams and slow them from achieving their mission. Being clear on the desired impact and building the process with that in mind is the key to maximizing strong impact. My clients are already changing the world. I just get to help them communicate how and equip them to keep going sustainably.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
For me, success looks like bringing my most capable, innovative self to my work. My biggest accomplishment is that I've been able to do that. I bring a powerful strategic lens to 100 organizations each year. That's energizing for me, and it means my impact multiplies. It's a win-win.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
I believe in practicing sustainable rhythms, but lots of the world moves counter to this idea. I've found it challenging but valuable to figure out what a sustainable pace looks like for me and become intentional about adhering to that.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
First, decide what success looks like for you. If you're not sure, you'll never know if you're getting closer or when you've made it. Second, build rhythms that are sustainable for the long haul. This is not a sprint. Lastly, stay confident and patient.
