One More Question for Entrepreneurs

Posted on October 29th, 2009 by tim bursch. Filed under business, ideas, social action.

Have you thought about starting your own business? Or a side gig?

If yes then I bet you’ve asked yourself a lot of questions like . . .

Is there a market?

What are the start-up costs?
What are the barriers to entry?
What is the revenue potential?

and possibly you’ve come up with enough good reasons to take the plunge.

I wonder though, have you considered a social impact? What will this venture affect? People? Environment? Will it make a positive dent in the world?

What if you added this question to the list:
What could you integrate into your business that would make a positive social impact?

Let me know what you think.

Great addition Tim. I actually think that question is a good starting point if you are not sure where to begin. Instead of "integration" I think starting with a social issue and building around it is a good place to start.
