Occupy Greed not Wall Street

I tend to stay away from commentating on Politics in public (e.g. this blog). With the latest development of the occupy movement I decided that I would make a few comments here.

One of the most predominate things that stands out is that the cause is to fight corporate greed. I do not believe that greed dominates the corporate world. Does it exist in corporations? Sure and I'm not in denial of it but what is forgotten or never considered is that greed is universal. Much could be said about this from a theological perspective but that's not my expertise.

Recently I purchased and watch The Call of the Entrepreneur documentary done by Acton Institute, co-founded by Robert A. Sirico. In the video it is made very clear that corporate America is much more than a collective body of greed.

I highly recommend the documentary. That is all for now....happy reading!

Entrepreneurship in the Making

Here to announce the new title for my blog. Entrepreneurship in the Making.

Two reasons that I made the change. First is because I love reading about Entrepreneurship and studying subjects related to it. The next book on entrepreneurship I plan to read is the new biography on Steve Jobs.

Second reason is because in this blog I will no longer write specifically about business development (the previous title for this blog). I'm in the process of creating a website for my company with an integrated blog where I will write specifically about business development as it relates to distribution and manufacturing. I will probably do some cross posting.

That is all for today! Enjoy your day....

Social Entrepreneurship

I'm an advocate for Entrepreneurship. I love innovation and executing on creative ideas. Everything starts with an idea!

I follow a few blogs and one of them is Porverty Cure. Recently I read this inspiring blog post on what they call Social Entrepreneurship.

Here is the link and a quote from the blog
http://www.povertycure.org/media/blog/somo-beads-empowering-women-and-their-families-in-gulu/

Humans are incredible beings, capable of hard work and creativity. We find value and worth in working hard. When we don't earn what we have, we can become dependent and spoiled, and even worse, we lose sight of our self-worth. But, when given the opportunity to create, to work, to become independent, to sustain, we are empowered. Our physical, emotional and spiritual life is enriched. So I have learned, as it relates to poverty and development, that the fundamental principles of work need to be restored and reenacted - this will bring hope to the people of Africa ... and with hope comes unlimited potential. Eek! It's exciting to think about! ~ Heidi Schroeder, founder of SOMO Beads

It is exciting indeed the potential of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is about creating jobs.
