I Have Officially Launched A New Business!

Boy, it is never easy to start a new venture. I’ve been working hard these past few weeks, but finally we have officially launched Re-Vision Labs!

Here’s the scoop: 8 of us came together last fall, feeling the changing tides of both our economy and our environment. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted to do, but we knew we wanted to make a strong positive impact on the world. For months we toyed with different ways to do this, as we continued with our “day jobs.”

And then, at last, we came upon the answer. It was so simple – right before our eyes! Each of us has come from entirely different backgrounds, but we all have one thing in common: we have realized that community building is the key to regenerating our world.

So… introducing Re-Vision Labs, where “Our Business Is Community.” We plan to help create the economic and environmental changes that are so necessary in our current world.

The website is still in progress, but please check it out and let me know what you think!

Nice design. However, I’m still not quite sure what it is that the group *does*. Will a concise “about us”?

Very cool. I too have wondered how to parlay my obsession with “green” into a day job. I wish you well. The site is very cleverly designed. Please post here about your experiences if it’s appropriate.

Sounds like a great idea. What business wouldn’t need those ideas now?

That’s great! I just want to commend you on seeing a problem and working with others to take steps to correct it. If we all did just a little bit of this I think our world would be much better off. Thanks for helping to push us in that direction!

Fantastic. I can’t wait to read everything, all the blog posts, later. I always enjoy reading your posts about community. This is even larger in scope. You’ve really tapped into something here. I’m also not sure what you’re doing exactly but I’ll read it more thoroughly. It’s like we’ve lost the glue that holds us/US together and you’re working to become that glue.

Awesome. I think there’s a ton of people around the world right now starting to vibrate on the same frequency. We’re doing our best to get something started in San Diego… it really is about Community Development, we’re going to need each other more and more as the times continue to change.
