Share your thoughts on the idea of “building community through entrepreneurship.”
In order for any community to sustain itself, it needs a collection of “home-grown” entrepreneurs who know the needs of his/her community and are willing to provide those services to assist in building up his/community; then the entrepreneur is rewarded by his/her community because they more than likely will recognize and support the entrepreneur’s efforts to sustain his/her community.
In what ways do you desire to see entrepreneurs grow?
Noticeably, meaning, everyone’s “growth” is different. For some, they may grow in their character; others in their conduct and/or commitment; while others may grow educationally, monetarily, or even capacity-wise. My prayer is that they grow to the point that those around them notice it. An entrepreneur should be ever-growing.
What do you see as the biggest obstacle(s) MORTAR’s entrepreneurs are facing?
ETIQUETTE : many are not timely in showing up for ANYTHING!
CONSISTENCY: They are not able to build their brand because of inconsistency in product quality, appearance, etc.
