Chase your vision you just might reach it ~ Juwona A. Melvin
Do you believe it’s possible to make money while making a meaningful difference?
Juwon A. Melvin, entrepreneur, author, speaker, world traveler, and life enthusiast believes it’s possible and proves it with his Life Soap Company.
His company sells three certified organic soaps for a $20.00 monthly subscription and delivers them to his customers’ homes in the United States. Some of the company’s profits funds The Water Project in efforts to bring clean water to children in developing countries.
Juwon’s inspiration
While he was visiting Morocco, the children on the street inspired Juwon to be a change-maker. They ignited his desire to have a positive impact on the lives of children around the world. In his Ted Talk, Juwon shares how in the pursuit of his cause, he experienced financial challenges that eventually lead him to change his business model from a Social Venture to a Venture Social. This made his dream a reality.
A Social Venture is an organization that exists to solve social challenges. A Venture Social is a sustainable, meaningful business that solves social challenges.
Juwon says that for your business to have a meaningful impact, you must first and foremost develop a sustainable venture.
If you can develop a company that truly meets the need of your customers, if you can do that in a way that’s profitable not just in the short-term but in the long-term as well, then you can help others, for years to come, in a way that’s meaningful and sustainable.

Blogging is the best way of making money online. I own 4 blogs and making money from it. Google AdSense is the giant of ads providers. You can make hundreds of dollars in a day from blogging.

This is a great article Adalia! Living in a life that we always wanted plus earning money at the same time is a great combination, there’s nothing cooler than that.
Hello Jane, thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. Yes, I’m planning do do this with a line of t-shirts to be launched before the end of the year. It makes sense that you can’t help the people who need to rise above their situation if you are struggling as well.
Hello Jane. Hope you’re doing well with your practice. I am starting a line of t-shirts for a worthy cause, I haven’t picked a cause yet but there are two that I am passionate about. It should be launched before the end of the year. You can’t help people to rise above their situation if you are struggling as well. I appreciate Juwon’s approach to entrepreneurship … making money while making a meaningful difference.
