Economic stability and charity… these are values we all advocate, yet so few people are willing to stand up and fight for them. As an aspiring entrepreneur, my goal is to apply my skills in business management and product design to create a sustainable business founded on these principles, and which champions them within its community.Ever since I was young I wanted to make a difference in the lives of the people around me, to be a positive influence on others so that they would leave their relationship with me, whether a peer, a friend, or just another member of the community, better off than they were when we first met. And, after struggling through a long bout of depression and (by the literal grace of God) making it though to the other side, this desire was only strengthened. But the question remained: how could I achieve this goal.So I decided to start simple: I decided to choose one problem others had that I might be able to solve and build from there. That's when I was inspired with my first product idea. And, I figured, I might be able to solve two, or even three, problems at once: by establishing an ethical, well run business I could sell a product that would benefit others, I could use the revenue from those sales to help those less fortunate than I, and I could provide goal oriented, passionate, people with the chance to succeed in stable, rewarding, jobs.So, that is where I am today: still working towards those goals, and trying to build the foundation on which they might be established.
