what's up, my brands. Welcome to Cyprus will school the only programme bringing you a daily story. Somebody out there. Is creating a little bit more freedom for themselves, creating security options, maybe even doing some good in the world and the form of a side. Hustle is an income generating project that you work on it. Apart from your job, it's not just about getting another job, it's about creating a little business. If you have never thought about starting a business or being an entrepreneur by using the skills you have, and without spending a lot of money today we're going to talk about a social enterprise project. This is basically a business, is actually a business, not a charity, but with the goal of doing good- and in this case it's a group of women who start a for profit project and from their website they say we're a for profit for good company at one hundred percent of what we do goes toward making the world a better place,

improving the lives of girls, a portion of our work generates no income. The rest is reinvested into the business enabling it to grow in reach more girls, but I do have a long term goal of being able to take profits for themselves. That's why it's not structured as a non profit or a charity, but in the meantime, there focus on that topic of girls, empowerment, specifically connecting middle school girls with caregivers, while exploring topics about body, image, sexuality and creativity. So here is the shut out to our sponsor, appreciate them, helping us beat for profit and for good as well, and then I'll tell you about this social

By day. Nights live under a director of marketing and business development by other times, she's the ceo of girls to the myth and Elsie. She started in two thousand fourteen business partners: Courtney, cider and Courtney, Rogers pearls to them and connects middle school age. Girls between the age of ten to fourteen with our caregivers, exploring topics like helping friendships, body image, stem science, technology, engineering, math and innovation. The programme incursion

girls to be their best selves impact their communities and create a more inclusive culture. It started as something that night and their partners wish it existed when they were that age night. As a single parent raising her daughter, she always thought how great it would be if there was a program out there to help other parents or caregivers, better connect, Hermine percolated, with an assortment of ideas after brainstorming with your partner's, they settled on hosting an event. All three partners have backgrounds and business development, marketing and technology, so they model there have been after the many events that attended or spoken out. They brought in speakers to my variety of fields and had them give Tedx style talks. They also set up an interactive gallery of booths in the hallways, bring it down times when nobody was speaking, they name their event, the camper it's a cross between a camp and conference, more formal than a camp, but less formal conference. We could call it. The goldilocks of events that I can't prince was just right

It's now an annual event in girls to the moon, raises over fifty thousand dollars annually and has led to smaller events taking place throughout the year. So how did not entertain pull this off while they go about raising money, a few different weights, their annual conference charges, forty five Garza sick it or you can purchase a to pack for seventy dollars. I want to make sure they dont price anyone out because their businesses all inclusive. They also offer scholarships for those who can pay. Smaller events range from ten to forty five hours are taken for those not cool things like we're, not a movie theatre for a screening of a wrinkle in time then have a NASA astrophysicist come in and talk about all the stuff. I just saw the big screen or the hostess boxing event where they talk to the girls about how anger can be a healthy emotion and the response ways to handle it all before unleashing them on a heavy bags for a few rounds revenue.

Grew and became a lot more sustainable once they introduced a membership model growth. The moon now has fifteen corporate supporters who donate between five hundred and three thousand dollars a year and up to a hundred individual donors contributing smaller amounts again for now, it's a social enterprize project with opera she's going back into the work, but they do hope to be able to transition to paying themselves soon. Now here's one thing: that's been hard for night. She says. Sometimes I have to remember that we do this for good for fun, on the side with our friends and family and that if we miss a deadline or who takes longer to get to a goal, it isn't the end of the world I'm a very goal oriented and competitive person which in general is good, but I can be too hard on myself and others around me. It things aren't working the way my spreadsheets into duellist say they should I understand that because I feel exactly the same way and very dependent on my spreadsheets and tasteless for now night says she's happy with the way things are going.

Sure to hit a certain revenue goal is gone, which is allowed for a more relaxed atmosphere. It's also left her with more time to focus on what matters most sending girls to the moon So here is a question I know some of our lessons will have. Why aren't run this kind of project has a check because unsubtle swear. We only feature poor profit businesses and, in this case its social enterprize project and more more companies or people organisations, etc. Are choosing this kind of model for their business, Slash mission and its because when you have a non profit there are certain benefits you can receive that art available to businesses, but on the other hand, when you operate as a business, you have some other options that would not be available to you. If you operated as a shared, for example, with a for profit business, you can be the owner you

Sell that business one day, you have a lot more flexibility and what you can ultimately end up, paying yourself or employees. On the other hand, if you're using this kind of model is harder to solicit donations, because most donors want to give to tax deductible organizations, but at least in this story it seems night in her. Co founders have found a way around it. So I see in my notes that she has a call by the end of this year. It's gonna turn into a full time, gig for one of the three of them, and eventually they want all three of them to be on the payroll. Some interesting model interesting way to set this up and, of course, and wonderful, cause great cause, wonderful idea, and maybe some a listener swapping interested in learning more. If that, as you, perhaps, if you're interested in their social mission or their business going to come and take a look, the shone out through today's episode are at sight of school at dotcom. Slash, seven, eight to that's episode, seven hundred and eighty two thanks so much for being out there I'll be back again to Morrow, and I hope you will too
