Social Entrepreneurship: NEW AGE GO GETTERS

Bill Drayton said it best, "Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry." We as entrepreneurs have an important influence greater than we could imagine. In essence, social entrepreneurship is a great way to change society. Everyone would be in business for themselves and learn the ins and outs of being an entrepreneurial.

Watching this 1 1/2 hour video, actually can be a great simulator for students in high school all the way through college. The panel of host gave great insight on who they are and how they got started. It took hard work and perseverance to get to where they are today. They all basically stepped out on faith and believed in their dream. In today's society they are called, "GO GETTERS"!

They gave up a lot over the years to get where they are: financial risk, career risk, family and social risk. These risk played an important part with each person. The companies that they started and got other investors to invest in helped them along the way.
