What is our job as entrepreneurs if not to change things that are crazy?

Every successful organization has to make the transition from a world defined primarily by repetition to one primarily defined by change. This is the biggest transformation in the structure of how humans work together since the Agricultural Revolution.

All the problems sitting there are an invitation for you to be creative, make use of your skills and resources and find a solution.

An entrepreneur is someone who brings a pattern change.

Change begets change as much as repetition reinforces repetition.

It's the combination: big idea with a good entrepreneur: there's nothing more powerful. That's just as true [for] education and human rights as it is for hotel or steels.

We started Ashoka here in India with a simple idea: that you needed social entrepreneurs to deal with problems that don't fit the business paradigm.
