Tops tips to making social entrepreneurship work
19 April 2012
I was listing to the Stanford Thought Leader talk from Jeff Church on The Wave of Social Entrepreneurship and his closing slide I thought was worth sharing (although the whole talk is worth a listen).
Jeff talks about his lessons learned over his time building businesses and Nika Water. Here there are:
- Begin with the end in mind
- Be transparent with your donations
- Act boldly with your financial backing
- Find like minded people
- The product and value has to be good
- Outsource as much as possible
- Learn on someone else’s nickel
- Dont’ quit when that seems obvious
- Find a partner or mentor who balances
- Rule of 2’s - things take twice as long and twice as much to get done
