How You Can Build a Stronger America
The Kaufman Foundation is sponsoring a ‘Building a Stronger America’ campaign and encouraging all entrepreneurs to take The Entrepreneur’s Pledge.If you aren’t familiar with the Kauffman Foundation, it’s the largest organization devoted to entrepreneurship and furthering better understanding of the economic impact of entrepreneurship.
Carl Schramm, president and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation in the video on the Take The Pledge website, challenges everyone, especially youth, to take up the yoke of entrepreneurship as a way of helping the economy. Changing the mindset of Americans to serve their country this way is certainly a new approach, and one that we could all achieve. You may not be prepared or willing to quit your day job to start a business, but financial experts agree that having a small home business on the side is good money sense. Where it grows from there could be very exciting! We consider it the ideal family project.
Teaching Entrepreneurship-the younger the better!
Carl Schramm also says that the younger we introduce young people to the concept of entrepreneurship, the better prepared they will be for life and contributing to the society they life in. So many young people have dynamic and useful ideas, but no idea or motivation how to commercialize them. You can change that.
To take the pledge, simply read the terms and enter your name and email address-and if you don’t want more email in your box, just uncheck the box that says “Send me updates about the entrepreneur’s movement”.
The terms of the pledge are:
- I am an Entrepreneur.
- I am following a dream, pursuing an opportunity, taking charge of my own destiny.
- I am bringing something of value to society, making a job for myself and for others, and creating wealth that benefits my family, my community, my country, my world.
- I am one of a movement of millions of entrepreneurs and innovators who made America great, and who will continue to keep our economy going…and growing.
- I am what I am because many people have helped me along on this journey.
Therefore…
- I will tell my story, sharing my successes and failures, so that others taking the entrepreneurial path can learn.
- I will strive to mentor an aspiring entrepreneur.
- I will make my voice heard by those who make policy decisions that affect me and my business.
- I will appreciate and celebrate my accomplishments, and the accomplishments of all my fellow entrepreneurs.
- I will give back to the society that helped me to be successful.
- I will Build A Stronger America
