multi-million dollar technology company while still in High School.

Here are a few things that you will learn from Ephren:

*How to leverage your poor performing 401Ks, 403Bs,
 Money markets, IRA's and other stock based accounts to
MAKE MONEY NOW in a RECESSION

*Why Ephren's strategies were chosen to be presented at the 2008 Democratic National
Convention as a way to deal with the economic crisis in American today

*Leverage the US Housing Bailout to your advantage by partnering with cities, municipalities,
and community agencies like Ephren to get ridiculously great deals

*Why one city GAVE Ephren a 35 UNIT LOFT APARTMENT BUILDING WHICH
WAS ALREADY RENTED

*How Ephren bought a 6 bedroom house for a client for only $7,000, and a three bedroom
 house for only $3,000 when the bank paid over $60,000!

But he doesn't sell courses or seminars his team actually
does all the work and his investors make the profits.

His socially-conscious programs revive older neighborhoods,
create affordable homes for working-class families,
turn tenants into buyers and change lives in a big way.
While everyone else is crying in their milk over changes in
the real estate market, Taylor keeps creating whole NEW markets,
and actually has a waiting list of buyers! 

At the live event, you can bring your 401k statements and IRA statements,
and Ephren will look them over.

Social Entrepreneurship

Social entrepreneurship is the term used to the activities of a social entrepreneur. A social entrepreneur in turn is a person who is aware of a social problem or issue and uses his or her entrepreneurial skills and knowledge in the organization, creation, and management of a specific project that will effect a social change. While a typical entrepreneur would measure the value of a specific project in terms of profits and returns, a social entrepreneur measures success in terms of the impact that this project has on society. And while they can often be found working in nonprofit organizations, some social entrepreneurs also work in private and government based organizations.

 

The first usage of the terms social entrepreneur and social entrepreneurship can be traced to various published works dealing with social change in the 1960s and 1970s, although it wasn’t until the 1980s and 1990s when they came into widespread used by writers such as Bill Drayton and Charles Leadbeater. Michael Young was one of the early pioneers of social entrepreneurship and because of his creation of more than 60 new organizations worldwide in the 1950s through the 1990s–among them Schools for Social Entrepreneurs–was described by Harvard’s Professor Daniel Bell as 'the world's most successful entrepreneur of social enterprises'.

 

While the terms themselves are fairly new, there have actually been several examples social entrepreneurs and social entrepreneurship activities long before then. Florence Nightingale, who was the founder of the first nursing school and a proponent of modern nursing practices, could be said to be one, with others being Robert Owen, who was the founder of the cooperative movement, and Vinoba Bhave, who founded India's Land Gift Movement. In fact, many successful entrepreneurs during the 19th and 20th centuries managed to encompass civic, governmental and business responsibilities in the course of their careers.

 

One of the best known social entrepreneurs nowadays is Muhammad Yunus, who is the founder and manager of Grameen Bank and its many social venture businesses. Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006, and his work, as well as that of Grameen, emphasizes the modern view of social entrepreneurs with regard to the many benefits of combining business practices with social ventures.

 

In countries such as

Bangladesh

and the

United States

, social entrepreneurs serve to fill a void left by a comparatively small state. In countries in Europe and

South America

however, social entrepreneurs tend to work with public organizations at both the national and local level more closely.

 

Certain factions have debated the use of the terms social entrepreneurship and social entrepreneur, with some confusion as to what type of businesses and individuals merit the use of such descriptions. While many feel that the terms should be restricted to founders of organizations that rely mainly on earned income–meaning income that is earned from paying consumers–others feel that this should be made to include work that is contracted for public authorities as well as grants and donations.

In any case, social entrepreneurship organizations nowadays include foundations, nonprofit and non-governmental organizations, governments and individuals.

You Have Nothing To Loose

You have nothing to lose! How many times have you thought about opening your own business? 5 times, 10 times, 100 times? Today is your day. Stop letting your dreams collect dust, and choke us all to death when you dust them off with I coulda, shoulda, and other high school has been rants! After all the worst thing that could happen if your business fails is that you have to go and find a job or go back to the job you were unhappy at. Starting a business will only increase your skill set, enhance your resume and increase your chances of success in the future. Plus its cool, fashionable, and profitable!

Here are the facts or as I like to say a crash course in reality!

Two-thirds of millionaires are entrepreneurs, according to Thomas Stanley and William Dank, authors of The Millionaire Mind.

You receive not only a salary, but also a lot of money if you sell your company or take it public. Or did you want to be “comfortable”? Comfortable is working at a job for 40 years, having just enough retirement to last about 5 years, then having to choose between going back out in the workforce at age 70 or eating cat food!

Operating a profitable business in the long term is less risky than being an employee in the long term. Business owners are the last people to go down with a ship if business turns bad. Or is your ambition to be another corporate employee victim, losing your 401K after the top executives decide to give themselves a no interest 300 million dollar loan or cash out their millions in stock?
So what does it take to be a successful entrepreneur?  Glad you asked:

• Self-Control – You can’t buy every computer application, hire every consultant, go out partying all the time or watch TV during business hours, you need self control! Especially for those of us looking to strike it rich in the platinum mines of Web 2.0. There are a ton of distractions on the web and the most successful out there have control and focus. Do you?
• Self-Confidence – You have to tackle ALL your problems immediately with confidence and persistence in your pursuit of your company’s objectives. If you are a chicken in the world of business, prepare to be some savvy wolves dinner as they devour your next great idea.
• Sense of Urgency – You must have drive and high energy levels, be achievement-oriented, and be tireless in trying to achieve your goals. Things change fast on the internet, I mean like by the hour or minute ! So in order to cut it here you gotta strike quick, cash in and reassess the plan. You can learn plenty of that right here at JohnCow.com. Cash Cows can run fast, if you wanna milk it you have to be on your toes partner!
• Realism - Entrepreneurs accept things as they are and deal with them accordingly. They may or may not be idealistic, but they are seldom unrealistic. Look don’t come out the gate thinking your gonna strike a deal of myspace, google, or yahoo proportions out the gate. Know what you don’t know.
• Emotional Stability - Entrepreneurs have a considerable amount of self-control and can handle business pressures. They are comfortable in stressful situations and are enthralled rather than discouraged by setbacks or failures.

Still need inspiration?   Stick around, we are just starting to have fun at the Cow!

PS: If you have any specific areas you want me to address in the future, feel free to drop us a comment and ask the questions! Would love to tackle them next session. Until then milk the cows!
