In our entrepreneurial journey we have found that there are only three kinds of entrepreneurs:
- Those that have money
- Those that have no money
- Those that have more guts than money.
If you are in the third category, and you self-identify as a member of a minority group in this country, and you don’t see anyone who looks like you gracing the covers of Fast Company or Inc., then you owe it to yourself to try building something that you own yourself.
Look, an entrepreneur is a person who sees and established model, builds a better model, hustles tirelessly to break the old model with the new model, and then, once the new model is built up, moves onto break another model.
In the high tech start-up world, this is cleverly called “disrupting.”
And if the “traditional” minority success model you’re breaking involves acting/singing/ dancing/sports or any of the “traditional” models to minority success, then breaking that model might be the greatest social entrepreneurship ever.
After all, we started (and we continue) with more guts than money.
