Discussion

hello sir,
Governments can support common man in the following ways:-
1.Providing Entrepreneurship training in schools & colleges via guest Speakers/Gurus and create an environment where entrepreneurship is recognized and celebrated.
2.Including in the curriculum as a compulsory subject & teachers with business background as Coaches.Cash flow games should be made mandatory in High Schools.
3.An Online Entrepreneurship Project can be made mandatory in Colleges.
4.A choice:- Government should themselves become Entrepreneurs starting Ventures capable of distributing massive number of Agencies/Licensies/Franchises giving the chance for common man to be an entrepreneur.Govt. can even hold separate ministry to handle the Mission in different sectors.Only when the govt: get the real taste of Entrepreneurship can the people have the choice of getting govt: support in the same.
5.Veterans in this field should come forward to discuss and communicate with the politicians and community leaders about the treasure house behind Entrepreneurship.
6.Extra monetary loan/schemes or relief policies should be allotted for start Up Entrepreneurs and information about such schemes are to be informed during education period itself.
7.Entrepreneurial politicians and leaders should take the initiatives in nurturing the same.

Thanks & Cheers !

With the exception of lobby groups and compaign contributions, entrepeneurship and government have never been good bed fellows.

Government should provide incentives rather than try to "educate" us. Instead they should get real entrepeneurs who have achieved real success who can explain in simple terms as to what its all about and what it takes to succeed.

From what you have written it appears that the more involved government gets in the economy, the more messed up things become and the more taxes we pay. The tend to intead of solving problems, find ways to delay its effects and leave it to the next administration. That only causes it to get bigger and somewhere along the line, something's gotta give.

As an Entrepreneur I am re-educating myself. It is required to change my mindset from being an employee. It is an interesting journey because society, family and old friends are all brain washed to thinking like employees. They often do not value the creative side of entrepreneurs. 1st off I think that the governments do not want to entrepreneurs because they are part of the old school that wants enslaved employees.

However, if somehow the governments where to wake up to economic power of entrepreneurs they could run public relations advertising the value entrepreneurs bring to the economy.

They could help with funding to assist in the education of entrepreneurs to maximize success. Education on setting up a business from book keeping to advertising.

JOB Just Over Broke. Very scary. It is time to be more than Just Over Broke and handing over our little bit of savings to mutual funds.

It is the time for Entrepreneurs who will pursue creative opportunities. These will in turn create JOB's for those who only want JOB's. So the value for the government is to that JOB's are created and thus so is the currency that runs our economy.

Greetings for everyone.
I agree in something with early comment n' furthermore I think THIS SITE shall permanently stay to so everybody can to share their thoughts, achievements n' links to sites where they are obtaining good results. To me GOVERMENTS ON ALL WORLD WILL NEVER GIVE information like this.

Criminals came to power in my country.So,they don't want people to be rich,but to work hard for them for food.

Hi Robert!
My suggestions about how the govt. could create more entrepreneurs are:
1. Start young by making financial education part of the mandatory school classroom learning.
2. Provide resources to support and encourage people to start their own businesses - training, financial loans, mentorship, tax breaks, etc.
3. By making this a priority, shift the focus from entitlement and govt. assistance for financial challenges to rewarding people for taking responsibility and being part of the solution.
4. Reward people for doing the right things. People do what works and unfortunately the system now supports people doing the wrong things instead of the right ones. Give people back the pride that comes from stepping up to solve their challenges.
This list is just a start. It would be a great start though.

The ways are obvious and well-documented. It just isn't in this administration's interest to let people keep their freedom. They are trying very hard to grow government and regulations and squash markets and freedom. Creating jobs keeps their best interests at heart as people are struggling and will take these jobs and will pay more in taxes to keep them in line and less creativity (ie: entrepreneurs)leads to control and conformity of people. Unfortunately, as seen with the election of Obama and the Democrats, people are more than willing to give up their freedoms for being taken care of.

It has to stop doing the cookie cutter education of math, reading, social studies. New education needs to be the internet (computer skills and using the vast resources available on the web), financial independence, personal development.

Robert, if you read this forum, I would really like to discuss with you ways specific to Hawaii regarding education reform. I am not a teacher, administrator, or state employee. I am just a mother who has seen her 4 kids go through our public school system, made enemies as well as supporters in the DOE, and tired of hearing the same old excuses from our failing education system (they especially like to blame the parents). I applaud your mission of educating everyone on financial wisdom, it goes far beyond most people's mission of simply gaining wealth for themselves.

Another way for government to create entrepreneurs is to beef up their SBA programs, or start other programs to educate prospective new business owners. Have Rich Dad seminars as part of their seminars.

Start programs in ghetto neighborhoods with motivated teachers/social workers. The requirement upon completing their financial education/program would be to give back to their communities, with money or time.

Hook up successful business owners/investors with new entrepreneurs. Almost like a Big Brother Big Sister kind of relationship. Win/win situation for both recipient as well as giver.

Get rid of the prevailing mindset of many Americans that the Rich are Bad.

I thought President Obama's speech to ASU was spot on to the Business degree graduates: If you have your degree in Business, start one of your own.

Me again.

All those people now unemployed have time. Get them educated on ways to become financially independent. I'd rather see money spent on educating adults with no future or hope to "see the light". If you can teach the adults, they can teach their kids.

RK+Co:
Successful entrepreneurs inspire others, so by enabling entrepreneurs to succeed, the government will allow the entrepreneurial spirit to grow.

Currently, in any situation where authorization from the government is required, the answer is NO unless the authorizing official has seen a case wherein the answer was YES. This scenario is the norm because there is no punishment for refusing authorization of something that is allowed, but granting authorization for something that is not allowed may impact the authorizing official's career negatively.

If the government would simply get out of the way of entrepreneurs, it would help. When government officials become advocates of entrepreneurs, encouraging us to succeed and enabling by whatever means available, we will thrive.

I think this might be a problem of the managing style within government. As opposed to the implementation of some policy that creates an entrepreneurial advocacy department, I think we need government-wide reprogramming of the bureaucrats' core belief systems.
