The Mind of the entrepreneuer

One of the more interesting debates that goes on about Social Entrepreneurship is the issue of being pulled off mission by concerns over money (and that NEVER happens in a traditional non-profit, does it? -sarcasm intentional) The truth is that even if you are forming a for-profit entity, it's not about the money.

For the commercial entrepreneur, money is how you measure the success of the venture. For the social entrepreneur, the metrics are a bit fuzzier (but that's a topic for another post).

Interestingly, how their brains work is really quite similar - Take a look here at how entrepreneurs think

PS - If nothing else, this constant adjusting and ability to assemble disparate resources should convince you that the Social Benefit industry needs a lot more folks who can think this way.
