My goals as a Social EntrepeneurI believethat social entrepeneurscan and willplay a very important role in solvingworldproblems. Entrepeneurs are innovative, creative and eagerto win! Social entrepeneurs have all these characteristics AND add social valuewiththeirproducts. A good businessmodel is necessarytoensurecontinuity. Social entrepeneursoften focus toomuch on the product in stead of the market, the customer. Just a good story does not sellproducts.Combine personal businessgoals with social objectives.
