Becoming a Social Entrepreneur: Getting Started
Do you have an idea that could help solve a societal problem? Do you wonder if starting a social enterprise is the best way to go? You want to be a social entrepreneur!
In this course, you will critically examine what constitutes a good idea and whether that idea necessitates the establishment of a new company. You'll create a personal immersion plan while considering various ways to make an impact. Before committing to becoming a social entrepreneur, you will investigate your personal challenges and connections to your life's purpose.
Each week, you'll see and hear from 11 real-life social entrepreneurs working all over the world, sharing their lessons learned as well as their mistakes and how to avoid them. They have provided clean water in India and the Dominican Republic, warmed premature babies without incubators, improved education in Africa and Detroit, and provided affordable fresh food to low-income Los Angeles residents.
Finally, you'll be able to determine whether your idea is needed in the world and whether starting a social enterprise is the best path for you. This course is based on Michael Gordon's book "Becoming a Social Entrepreneur: Starting Out, Scaling Up, and Staying True."
