Be a change-maker
During the Global Entrepreneurship Summit hosted a conversation between entrepreneurs, including Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, and President Barack Obama. President Barack Obama actively participated in the 7th annual event, which this year was held in the United States at Stanford University.
During the conversation documented by CNET, President Obama posed a question to Mr. Zuckerberg, the brains behind the world’s largest social media network, about his role for creating a platform for entrepreneurs around the world. The Billionaire went on to emphasize the importance of change-makers as entrepreneurs. He believes that a successful entrepreneur must be motivated by caring and not by “trying to create a business.”
