SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Social Entrepreneurship


"Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems."
Finding innovative new solutions to the world’s biggest problems is quietly becoming the most powerful business model of the 21st Century. Tackling global issues like poverty, malnutrition, clean air and water, and health care are foundational to an exciting new business strategy for changing the world called, social entrepreneurship.
Keys to a Successful Social Entrepreneur Movement

1. Take On the World’s Biggest Problems
Social entrepreneurs are relentless in their efforts to change what’s wrong in the world. The bigger the problem, the more motivated they become. However, the bigger the problem, the more conflict their movements face from those who profit from status quo.

2. Create Innovative and Scalable Entrepreneurial Solutions
Innovation provides the best solutions to global problems. The business strategy, created to proliferate these solutions into society, must be easily duplicated and scalable for fast growth in order to achieve global impact as quickly as possible.

3. Experiment with New Models
Give a man a fish; that’s good. Teach a man to fish; that’s even better. Change the fishing industry; now you’ve really done something.
Social entrepreneurs are not afraid to reinvent the wheel if it will yield better results for their cause.

4. Tap into the Passion that the Public Feels for Your Cause
Victor Hugo said, “There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.” On the other hand, connecting a powerful idea to a cause that the world can get passionate about, can create an army of world-changers motivated to conquer what appear to be unsolvable problems.

5. Find Creative New Ways to Compensate Those Who are Willing to Participate
The traditional business model pays wages for work done. There may be no purpose or passion connected with the activity. It’s simply a way to pay the bills. The traditional not-for-profit organizations are generally strong of passion, but typically don’t have the budgets to pay their employees market wages, and must rely heavily on volunteers to achieve their goals.

Social entrepreneurial organizations create a hybrid blend of the best of these two models. They seek to financially compensate everyone who feels the passion for their cause in direct proportion to their contribution. The key to this strategy lies in its ability to appropriately compensate both the career-minded social entrepreneur as well as the millions of individuals in the world
