Chapter 30 – Social Entrepreneurship
30.10 Reflection on Personal Alignment
It’s important for you to reflect on whether a career in social entrepreneurship aligns with your interests, values, and long-term goals. Consider your passion for addressing social issues, your willingness to take on the risks and uncertainties of starting and running a social enterprise, and your capacity for enduring potential stress and public scrutiny.
While the work can be deeply fulfilling and impactful, it also comes with challenges that require resilience and adaptability. By honestly evaluating these factors, you can determine if you are well-suited for a career in social entrepreneurship and if you can sustain your commitment to creating social change despite the obstacles.
