Entrepreneurship: The Answer to Economic Uncertainty

This segment focuses on entrepreneurship as the key to the woes people and society are facing amidst the global economic crisis. Even though there seems to be stabilization in the financial and economic systems, there is not a return of jobs. In fact, experts say that it will be a long process before we see a significant growth in jobs. What can be done? We say the answer is entrepreneurship. Research supports this! A special report on entrepreneurship by The Economist says the "the rise of the entrepreneur...signals the birth of the entrepreneurial society." So, this crisis is the opportunity we've actually been looking for! Entrepreneurs everywhere are mobilizing! The Kauffman Foundation just launched the Entrepreneurs' Movement for the United States so that there is a unified voice. Bo Fishback of Kauffman will join us. We'll also share a concept for reaching micro, one- or two-people, enterprises in our neighborhoods by touching them locally. These are exciting, but challenging times!
