Entrepreneurship, It is time to make a move

July 4th 2008 04:24 pm

“A long journey begins with the first step…”

I’m at a point in my life where entrepreneurial ideas are really becoming a regular for me. But, I have to make the jump from good ideas to implemented tasks. I have had so many ideas over the past few years that I let die by not taking that first step. There are a few that I did implement and one of course is the blog. I started this blog about a year ago…I would say that it has been somewhat successful. My effort level has really dropped here but I plan to pick it up on web2freedom.


I recently learned of the Kauffman Foundation.

The Kauffman Foundation is working to further understand the phenomenon of entrepreneurship, to advance entrepreneurship education and training efforts, to promote entrepreneurship-friendly policies, and to better facilitate the commercialization of new technologies by entrepreneurs and others which have great promise for improving the economic welfare of our nation.

The foundation prides itself on developing minority, college, and all entrepreneurs to help them take their ideas and develop them into long lasting businesses. Their mission focuses on entrepreneurship strategies, education, and awareness of the opportunity to become entrepreneurs to all children and adults:

The Outcomes We Seek:

* Children and adults are aware that entrepreneurship is a choice for their future and understand its importance to the American and global economies.
* Entrepreneurs have the knowledge, skills, networks, and values needed to grow innovative, sustainable enterprises that create jobs and wealth for America.

Anyone looking to gain information on developing their ideas or becoming an entrepreneur needs to check out the Kauffman Foundation. I have been looking at their site and there is valuable information inside.

    Hi, kdub -

    Stumbled upon your blog and post about entrepreneurship - I work with the Kauffman Foundation (in public relations and communications at Trozzolo Communications Group). First, thank you for the support and the great mention! I’m glad you’ve found valuable information about the Foundation.

    Second, I thought you might be interested in learning more about Global Entrepreneurship Week, a combination and expansion of two successful initiatives, the debut of EntrepreneurshipWeek USA in 2007 and the inspiration behind it, Enterprise Week in the UK which was kicked off in 2004 by now-Prime Minister Gordon Brown. During the last year, these two efforts - led by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in the US and the Make Your Mark campaign in the UK - combined to engage 2,720 partner organizations planning 6,891 activities that directly involved 929,449 individuals.

    More info, and our blog is here: www.UnleashingIdeas.org.

    Global Entrepreneurship Week encourages youths around the world to be entrepreneurial, think innovatively and pursue their original ideas. The Week also aims to educate about the cultural, social and economic benefits of entrepreneurship – at the local, national and global levels.

    Please e-mail me if you’d like more information about getting involved in the Week.
    Many thanks!
    Erin
