People of vision, they see possibili¬ties and work creatively and persistently to make possibilities real. In contrast to bureaucrats, civic entrepreneurs always instinctively find reasons why things can happen, as opposed to focusing on reasons why they cannot. In contrast to idealists, civic entrepreneurs are challenged by the "how-to" questions and delight in getting

First off, you may be asking, why young entrepreneurs? Why local governments? And most importantly, why would a partnership between the two be ideal to improving the quality of life in the Greater Washington Area?

Entrepreneurship is a term that has reentered the public vernacular over the last few years, many times in reference to what is wrong with America but what it means is rarely defined. Furthermore, it is generally agreed that more Entrepreneurship is a desirable trait but how to go about encouraging it is again a point of contention. This paper will address a specific facet of entrepreneurship and attempt to discover what are the key drivers to foster an entrepreneurial spirit from childhood.
The belief and implementation of free markets and pro-business policies have allowed the American nation to become the strongest country in the world. The entrepreneur is a special type of business person that is hurt by the livable wage. Our nation’s economy is diverse and adaptable because entrepreneurs are always willing to take risks to make money and stay competitive. Entrepreneurs act as the catalysts for the American economy. They take the capital risks to create new products,
A factor that contributes immensely to the success of an economy as a whole is diversity. An organization that can effectively unite individuals from different cultures and backgrounds can expect healthy growth in the future. However, diversity can be considered to a much greater extent. When analyzing any economy, one can observe that is formed by large firms, medium sized firms, small firms, and firms that are barely getting on their feet. No matter the size or type of business, they all significantly contribute to the overall well being of any economy. Furthermore, one type of institution that forms a considerable facet of the diversity of economies are entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship describes any institution that begins without the support of any higher corporation or established business. Any individual can study how an entrepreneur works and makes decisions in an economics class or they can even major in entrepreneurship in some universities. However, these educational institutions many times fail to inculcate in their students how these types of business actually operate in the real world. With that in mind, a concise yet profound analysis of a small business in Buckeye, Arizona will consider how an entrepreneur owned business truly works.
Ideas are very rarely traced to the creative thought process of a single individual or group. The President and Congress members can offer items for the agenda also, the White House staff, executive branch career personnel, congressional staff, the media, lobbyists, organizations, and the public, can supply other agenda items to be reviewed. The agenda is a list problem that are being paid attention by governmental officials ( Jansson, 2014). Policy entrepreneurs are people who advocate for proposals. Individuals invest their resource and time, in hope of changing the future. Many business people advocate to promote their personal interests, solve problems, and shape public policy according to a paticular values. In today's society tough economic times, greater competition exists among advocacy organizations for fiscal support ( Edwards , 2010). In some aspect, people just love the game of politics. Available alternatives play an important role because, before a subject can achieve a position on a decision agenda, a viable alternative is available for decision makers to consider. Public policy choices come from substitutes placed on the
Most successful entrepreneurs exhibit certain characteristics. Some entrepreneurs are open-minded, able to learn quickly, and skilled at conceptualizing.
Civic entrepreneurs are helping communities cooperate to compete in the information age coming from all experiences of life and a new gener¬ation of leaders who forge new, powerfully productive connections at the center of business, government, education, and community. These entrepreneurs have much to teach us about building vital and strong economic communities in raging times and in the process, restoring civil so¬ciety from the very roots. They help communities to collaborate, organize and develop their economic assets and to build productive, tough relationships across the public, private, and civil divisions that misrepresent the ties that bind economy and community for their shared benefits. The provision of the continuity of work on tough issues and continue working overtime is a trait of a civic entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurial leadership is often viewed as a product of self-interest and individual innovation. Gupta (2004) states entrepreneurship is a discrete event based on the autonomous pursuit of innovative opportunities. Entrepreneurial leadership is defined as fusing the concept of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial management with leadership. Entrepreneurship is seen as the base of the American economy and a critical driver for developing in local regional and national economics (Woods, 2014). Avolio (2009) listed the five diverse styles of leadership 1.Authentic 2.Complexity 3.Shared 4.Transformational and 5.Global. My focus will be on the latter two elements of his analysis, transformational and global entrepreneurial leadership as a means to bring economic development to rural
The pluralist theory of democracy contends that people with common interests, organize in groups to solicit support and solutions to problems in relation to government. Research indicates a key element of interest group formation is the entrepreneur. The research suggests, however, the incentive for entrepreneurs to organize varies. Some say the motivation to organize is economically based, others say the motivation to organize is tied to a specific disturbance or event. Some contend patrons motivate leaders to organize interest groups, others suggest a more altruistic motive for group formation. My aim is to determine the driving force behind the entrepreneur

Consequently, this has led to an era of heropreneurship in which many individuals inspire to become entrepreneurs who claim that they can solve these problems. Due to its heroic and feel good appeal, many individuals work towards creating an “attractive” social enterprise or demand jobs with a “social purpose”.
My entrepreneurial spirit is created in part by how I perceive the world. When I see problems with our world, they are not insurmountable mountains but rather opportunities. They are opportunities for me personally to gain and for all those that I would help by fixing that problem. This can be anything from the mundane to the most serious issue of our time. An example of this is the amount of vegetable waste people produce in their homes and their hesitancy to compost this waste. I perceived this problem and tried to come up with a solution. There were some people
