Lara Galinsky is a senior vice president of echoing green, echoing green is a nonprofit organization that funds new social entrepreneurs, the organization supports new social entrepreneurs into the right direction. Lara Galinsky’s blog describes how being a social entrepreneur is extremely difficult. Being a social entrepreneur isn’t a job for anyone, it requires a strong base, volunteers, initial funding, artists, etc.<\/p>\n

One factor that makes me believe that being a social entrepreneur is hard because it takes a lot of effort starting up a social enterprise, and that such hard work leads to little to no profit to the entrepreneur. It takes a true mindset to ignore the fact that the individual could be making a profit with his\/her time spent on the organization. Lara states that “If everyone wants to stat a new organization, who is going to do all the work?”, because there are too many people who want to be a social entrepreneur, but too little wanting to do the ‘dirty work’. In my opinion, being the entrepreneur and doing the ‘dirty work’ is doing the same thing, for the same cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
