THINK BIG

Helping Entrepreneurs Think BIG
Big problems require big solutions. Entrepreneurs are driven by a “Go Big, Go Home” mentality in everything they do, and that is why entrepreneurial thinking is needed more today than ever before. Incremental change is not sufficient, they demand monumental change towards an audacious endgame.

SOLUTIONS

Providing creative and innovative solutions to existing problems
Social entrepreneurs believe that the current methods for enacting social change have not been effective. They are seeking new ideas, opportunities and technologies to help solve long-standing social problems.

CORRECTION

Reflection and correction
Good social entrepreneurs dedicate resources, both time and money, to constant evaluation of their programs. This gives them an opportunity to determine what is going well and not so well, and correct any errors made. Eventually, this circles back to my original characteristic of innovation.
