What do you think of Entrepreneurs?

If you are an entrepreneur, a small or medium-size business owner, or believe that entrepreneurship must be fostered for the betterment of all, consider the Kauffman Foundation "Entrepreneur's Pledge." Join the list to stay informed of important issues affecting business creation.



The text of the pledge is as follows:
"I am an entrepreneur.

I am following a dream, pursuing an opportunity, taking charge of my own destiny.

I am bringing something of value to society, making a job for myself and for others, and creating wealth that benefits my family, my community, my country, my world.

I am one of a movement of millions of entrepreneurs and innovators who made America great, and who will continue to keep our economy going ... and growing.

I am what I am because many people have helped me along on this journey.

Therefore:

I will tell my story, sharing my successes and failures, so that others taking the entrepreneurial path can learn.

I will strive to mentor an aspiring entrepreneur.

I will make my voice heard by those who make policy decisions that affect me and my business.
I will appreciate and celebrate my accomplishments, and the accomplishments of all my fellow entrepreneurs.

I will give back to the society that helped me to be successful.

I will Build a Stronger America."
