This issue marks the beginning of a project that aims to network Mormon entrepreneurs throughout the entire world, a community of interested people striving to create value and carry out dreams. It stands as a clarion call to the aspiring entrepreneur who needs knowledge beyond their own, and for the great entrepreneurs who feel inspired to give back. That’s the vision. Who is this project intended for? You. Welcome to Mormon Entrepreneur.
The vision of this project can be broken down into three tangible goals: (1) un-tap the great, (2) enlighten the aspiring, and (3) create community. Hundreds of entrepreneurs have already climbed the mountain of success and are seeking for opportunities to serve. Thousands of striving entrepreneurs are clamoring up the mountain right now. Why not bring them together? A lifeline lowered down to an ailing mountaineer can be the encouragement that keeps them moving onwards. Mormon Entrepreneur is here to provide that encouragement and direction—that community—that will help you reach the summit.
What is the format of the project? We plan to publish five to seven interviews with successful entrepreneurs in our community every other month. Some editions will highlight entrepreneurs in specific industries—software services, financial markets, e-commerce, et cetera. Others will be based on topics pertinent to today’s ME – topics such as how to utilize social media for company promotion. We plan on creating editions centered around Mormon themes such as Family History, Missionary Work and others. I’m a fan of Family History so expect an issue on this topic soon! Feel free to voice your opinion if you want to learn about a given topic or hear about a specific industry.
All in all, this project strives to bring together the greatness that can result from ethical Mormons striving as entrepreneurs. Business people oftentimes are looked down upon for being stingy or dishonest. This is sometimes true; however, I see business people and entrepreneurship itself in a different light. Capitalism and entrepreneurship, production and action, these are the clarion calls to blast us out of the recession, what FDR utilized in his Works Progress Administration. So much good can result from great entrepreneurs!
I’m excited about this project; I love what the future of this project will bring. I’ve already queued up my bookshelf with The Zag (recommendation from interview with Jack Hadley) and have re-read the principals found in my interviews with Bill Kelly and Bill Karren. I thank these great men for the priceless information and encouragement that they’ve already given to me. I will apply these principals in my own pursuits as an entrepreneur. I look forward to the deluge of priceless information that I envision will come.
Enjoy Mormon Entrepreneur.
