The Tenets of Social Entrepreneurship

There are many perks of becoming an entrepreneur. Being your own boss, controlling your destiny, or watching your ideas come to fruition are a few examples. However, if you have ever thought that it would be great to help the world while at the same time helping your bottom line, I have found an article that you might find interesting.

The article goes into a lot of detail of social entrepreneurship, but here are the basic tenets that are presented:

• Figure out what you mean.
• Have confidence that you can do it.
• Follow your values to unoccupied niches.
• Build it on values, and people will come.
• Prosper first, and then start to give back.
• Don’t worry about generating hostility.
