Social Entrepreneurs

A couple of friends and i chatted business ideas yesterday-fun!
I was reminded of the following as we did...

"Turning your job into a cause
-A social entrepreneur is driven to raise money for a cause...
-It's where a lot of businesses are heading now...
-It is about doing something you feel passionate about...
-Making your business your cause"

Ecostore founder Malcolm Rands says he isn't afraid to make money because it can achieve good things.

His advise to budding social entrepreneurs is "To find out what you are passionate about. It all comes down to passion. If you're doing something for passion you're not even working, you're doing something you want to do anyway" -NZ Herald
