#1 - High Tides Raise All Ships
We truly believe the best approach to economic development is to raise the people. This is a longer-tail approach to economic development, but it’s worth the wait because it results in Principle #2.
By raising businesses, we raise the people. By raising the people, we raise the community.
#2 - Do the Most Amount of Good for the Most Amount of People
When it comes to making tough choices, we choose what is going to do the most amount of good for the most amount of people.
Good is defined by our mission: to create self-sustaining communities.
#3 - Show Me the Ropes
Knowledge is power and the best way to spread knowledge is to show people the ropes.
