004 3 Keys to being a Sustainable Business

What does having a sustainable business mean?  To me there are three key elements to being a truly sustainable business:
It is sustainable for the planet, for those who work within it and it is economically sustainable.

In this episode we look at: 
How a you understand the impact your business is making in the world, both positive and negative.  Going beyond our direct impact to look at all our suppliers.
How being a home based online business does not mean you are not having a negative impact.
Why we need to look at how sustainable is the business for those working in it.
The elements that impact its sustainability for those working in it.
What it means to be economically sustainable.
How understanding your expenditures and what drives them is key.
That the aim is to add value in areas other than just financial.
