Contrary to popular belief, successful entrepreneurs rarely start a business to create a new mousetrap. Research supports that identifying a pain and then creating a solution to cure it is the root cause of most successful ventures. Never before has there been the collection of pain that there is in our environment. Ms. Keilbach shows us every tangent of that pain is an opportunity waiting to be implemented. Global warming and its consequences will be cured by that misunderstood collection of society known as entrepreneurs.

Kimberly B. Keilbach has over 20 years’ experience writing for and about innovative businesses and cutting edge technologies. Her passion for the environment began in the 1970’s when her dream of building a zero-energy home transformed into a fascination with natural ecosystems. In the 1980’s, Kimberly graduated from the University of Southern California Entrepreneur Program and began consulting with and writing business plans for entrepreneurial ventures in the Los Angeles area. From those experiences, she developed a studied interest in economic ecosystems.
Later, while living on her husband’s family farm, Kimberly learned first-hand about the business of sustainability. There she saw that a well-run farm is a model of sustainability, consisting of simple yet elegant systems that utilize natural resources to their maximum potential, reduce waste, and increase profits. On a farm, the environment is not just a concept; it is the foundation upon which business is built.
Kimberly currently resides in Orange County, California with her husband and three sons. She earned her Master’s Degree in Professional Writing from the University of Southern California in 2008 and has written extensively about innovation, creativity and the management of change. She regularly features sustainable businesses, emerging clean technologies, and “green” tips on her blog. In addition, Kimberly writes the “The Triple Bottom Line” sustainability column for WomenEntrepreneur.com.
Kimberly believes that environmental and economic ecosystems are complementary to one another and that the most sustainable businesses are mindful of both. The main focus of her work now is on writing, speaking, and consulting with organizations who want to earn profits, benefit people, and act as stewards to the planet.
