It’s very fashionable these days to declare yourself a social entrepreneur, working for the good of society, the environment and a better life. Most social entrepreneurs don’t like to talk about making money, but often they still ask for help finding investors. As an adviser, I have to tell them they should be looking for philanthropists, who look for social value rather than financial returns.

A business website is a must, and a business website that turns the customers on is a necessity. However, creating a top site isn’t as easy as you might think.

Yesterday was not an awesome day. I was tired from my run on Saturday and a late-ish night so I slept in. Amy got up with the dogs. When I woke up, our country was deep in the fallout from the worst mass shooting in the history of the U.S. I was shocked by the shooting, then angry about some of the responses, and then ultimately – with Amy – just sad about the whole thing.

Choosing the right line of work is not easy due to the overwhelming amount of options out there. A person will have to take the time to do a bit of research to find out what suits them. Owning a construction company can be very lucrative, but it will take a bit of an investment to get started due to the equipment needed. Once you have outgrown your equipment, you will need to sell it to get new stuff.

Companies have many founding moments. Founding moments are the key inflection points when leaders decide to change a path in order to better, or more quickly, realize their mission. We typically only think about the first founding moment, hiring a CEO, or the IPO, when in fact there are many. Today marks a founding moment for us: the decision to enter into an agreement for Microsoft to acquire LinkedIn.

( Worth the subscribe. ). Before you panic, remember: Action trumps agonizing, and you can always change the number.
