Where Passion Meets Purpose

You may not be familiar with the phrase Social Entrepreneurship , but it’s quietly becoming the most powerful business model of the 21st century. It’s an exciting new strategy that tackles global issues like poverty, malnutrition, clean air and water, and health care.

In fact, this new initiative has the world’s leading policy makers predicting that it will not only become the most purposeful, profitable platform of our time, but also a revolutionary paradigm shift for sustainable global improvement.

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. 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.

4. 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 who would just like to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children.

What Are The Experts Saying?   The Power of Unreasonable People Harvard Business School • John Elkington & Pamela Hartigan “It is time to start investing in, partnering with, and learning from these world-shaping change agents. You will not only contribute to the social revolutions they’re fueling, but also position your organization to thrive in the new business landscape they are helping to define.”     How to Change the World David Bornstein “[We] look at social entrepreneurs… as transformative forces: people with new ideas to address major problems who are relentless in the pursuit of their visions, people who simply will not take ‘no’ for an answer, who will not give up until they have spread their ideas as far as they possibly can.”     Can Entrepreneurs Save the World? Harvard Business Review “We need out-of-the box thinking, audacious goals, and lots of experiments. Today’s entrepreneurs bring all that and more to the table..”

"We can be the generation that challenged itself to change history" ~ Sam Caster         We invite you to…   It's not business as usual… "One of the things that is so unique about social entrepreneurship—it is not business as usual. It is not about a company executive or a small group of people making a decision to change the world. By its very nature it includes everyone. Social Entrepreneurship links people from all over the world to the innovation that can create sustainable change. It unleashes human potential for doing well by doing good." ~ Sam Caster, Founder of Mannatech
