I've always been interested in being an entrepreneur and getting the chance to do my own thing, but I also love to support other people. Recently I've been learning more and more about the concept of keeping the people within your business safe and the ways that that will improve performance. Then I discovered social entrepreneurship, which was the exact thing that I wanted to do but I didn't have the words for it.

So what do you think.. is it better to be in the for-profit sector and be a good person or to enter the not-for-profit sector and risk those conflicts of interest in an attempt to help more people?
You're going to need to put a bit more detail into these blog posts. For example, we need more information for each one of the items here you're using to evaluate the sources. Did you Google the 2 authors? Did you find out anything about their backgrounds?
