Entrepreneurs create currency

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.

Encourage entrepeneurship

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.

Entrepreneurship Nurturing

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.

government eccouraging business

Kia ora Robert,

one of our governments did this. P.M. at the time was also president of the world bank & IMF at same time.

His government created a branch (DIC I think it was Development Investment corporation) that for all intense purposes a bank for loans to new businesses. only thing it was run by civil servants who knew nothing about business. Money was given out willy nilly without little back up. A later incoming government claimed it brought country to edge of bankruptcy & promptly sold the Bank of NEw Zealand who had provided most of the money(correction sorry Mike- currency).

the country still is uneasy about any help to business but the newish government is aiming to cut red tape & streamline the civil service as ways to assist.

we will see.

Allow the Rich (Private Gov) to Nurture the Poor (Public Gov)

In elementary terms, it seems that the majority of the financial world's problems results from the majority's "IDEA" to constantly blame the rich for their problems resulting in the desire to exploit (take from) the Real Rich:

Employees (Mainly Top Level) demanding higher and higher salaries for poor performance (which also happen to create the largest uncontrolled-expenses for a business)

Employees need to understand that Wealth is created through Investing a.k.a (Raising Capital) not (Raising Employees)

Most importantly, personal and professional accountabilities/responsibilites at the top, middle and lower levels of an organization must become the pinnacle of fostering sustainable economic growth.

The government hasn't a clue. The word government comes from
Govern - to rule over or control
Mente- of or pertaining to the mind.
The government is just mind control propaganda. The founding fathers idea of government was more like controlled anarchy where the government did very little, and it worked. Now they have to keep things complicated, keep people in the dark and keep the conspiracy running.

If they wanted to create jobs, the money would need to flow OUT of government, in fact, government commerce could be eliminated altogether. The taxes would have to be lowered, and the tax laws would have to be favorable. People couldn't WAIT to start a business in america, it was the American dream.
But the government seems interested in getting involved, so if they must, they should allow more grants and lending. They should have a FHA style loan for businesses at a very low interest.

Of course the biggest issue is not that people don't want to start a business, it's that they don't know how. So the government should pay people to get financially educated if they aren't going to change the school system to provide financial education. Rather than a tax write off, they should provide stimulus check only for those who start a business.
I don't know that this would work, but seems consistent with the governments approach.

Learning is my Cement (Chapter 12)

.
I was educated in 2 different countries,
it means 2 different teachers' teams :

-> Rich team taught me how cashflow works
<- Poor team taught me about wages

Even if I was teaching technical engineering, at the same time,
I decided to attend financial course in another language for free.

Some of my friends told me I was a crazy guy.
Anyway, this experience helped me a lot.

Hope this helps.
Phil Germanaz

------------------------
From Chapter 11

While learning, I've changed :

- the way I manage a team
- the way I choose a mission
- the way I manage myself
- the way I handle legal systems
- the way I communicate

Let's decide the way I'll cement over my assets.

From chapter 10

My example :

I practiced sports (national championship),
I was educated as a building engineer,
I started as a junior market manager,
I changed for a product manager position,
I then asked to become a salesman.

Cement is what I expect to find as well as bricks.

I believe they already are

I believe they already are starting. The current administration has stated what they will fund and find to be the future as well as what they wish to eliminate, i.e. dependence on foreign oil.
For an innovative person this is the opening for the next step.

A job is something more spelled out such as do this, do that and your title is such and such.

Developing Entrepreneurship

The government can develop Entrepreneurship by training teachers to teach entrepreneurship; to assist schools in advancing the curriculum; and support the development of the teaching materials.

Entrepreneurship

I was educated in a different country. Some of our schools offered Entrepreneurship as a course or as a subject. I took it as a subject. I didn't know how important it is now that I'm in the real world. My teacher use to say "we should be innovators". I think partly because everybody knows that our government can't support us.

I think it would be a great idea if Entrepreneurship will be added as a subject or as a major field of study in the educational system. In this way, it will be a start for a change.

The government can also encourage and sponsor foundations, industries or enterprises promoting entrepreneurs. This will attract and encourage people to be more industrious and extend their resources to become one. This is one way of leading by example.

Finally, the government will be a big impact even of a small reform if it is really concern of the 90%. The government should review whose greater good it is serving.
