Share your thoughts on the idea of “building community through entrepreneurship.”
When I think of entrepreneurs I think of leadership. Certain words come to my head when I think of a leader such as, bold, brave, pro-active, role-model, though-provoking, and inspiring. Entrepreneurs are people the community needs to help make a positive change. To light the match that makes people speak up, but also go out and make a difference. They bring people together to get different results that have existed in the past. Leaders do not do good for only themselves, but they help people around them, and gives them an opportunity to build the community many people dream of, but have yet to exist. Hence, entrepreneurs are very important part in building a community.
Final thoughts?
I am blessed to be able to work with an amazing group of people, and this business is another great step in helping change the world for the better.
