Do you want to turn your skills and passion into a social enterprise? Here are some tips on how you can do good by doing what you love. First, think about the problems in your community that bother you. Fixing one of the problems could just become the start of a social enterprise. Then, do some investigation to find out what other people have tried to solve the problem. What worked? What didn’t? Can you improve on what others tried? Next, you need a plan for the business. This is the part that seems very scary to people because they don’t know where to begin! Fortunately, there is a lot of help online and in communities for people who have a great idea and want to write a business plan. Now it’s time to try out your idea. If you want to get other people to get involved in your business, it’s a good idea to show them that your idea works. This might mean making a simple example of your product or service to show how it works. Then you need show it to the people who have what you need to start the business, this can be money or other resources. It may involve promoting your idea to earn the support of these people. Remember, starting a social enterprise requires the same skills and has the same challenges as starting any other kind of business.
