SMBMSP #61: Jump! How Can You Begin Doing The Work of Your Dreams?

Friday, December 13, 2013 from 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM

After nearly four years of running CoCo, our presenters have seen hundreds of entrepreneurs, freelancers and creative people, come and go. And wondered: why are some successful...and others not? Is it about skills? Is it about funding? Or is it about something else?

At CoCo, their mission is to inspire and enable people to do the work of their dreams. But not just any dream. They're talking about the dreams that exist in the deepest part of your soul. Your purpose. The reason you were put on this planet. Do you know what it is?

At this special SMB, they're going to talk about your life dreams, the work you do on a daily basis – and why they're often not the same thing! But we won't stop there.

They'll talk about what steps you can take to make the work of your dreams the actual work you do every single day!

This will be no boring lecture. Come prepared to do some imaginative work, share your ideas and interact with others. Expect to leave inspired and dangerous!

Community Consulting: Bringing the Power of Consulting to Resource Poor Communities Consulting is great. The consultant gets paid to help people. But what if the people who need the help can’t pay enough for the consultant? Community Consulting is one way to bring consultant services to people who can’t support a traditional consultant. Eric’s experience with his “Rural Food Co-co”, that serves young food entrepreneurs, is examined as a case study. 
Eric Sannerud graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2013 with an individualized degree in Food Systems. He is a member of the winning Forever St.Paul $1Million Competition Idea, Urban Oasis, and is now working to build a Local Food Hub in St.Paul Minnesota. His entrepreneurial energy and love of all things food have led him to start Mighty Axe Hops Hub, Sunny Brothers farm CSA and an urban aquaponics operation, Twin Fin Aquaponics. His latest project is a rural food community consultancy to connect young food entrepreneurs to markets, experience, and land.
