Mr. President: Make It Easy On Us to Grow

Elizabeth Gore (pictured), entrepreneur-in-residence at the Dell computer company, wrote a letter to both main USA presidential candidates prior to November 8th, which urged the next president to take steps that would make it easier for businesses owned by women to grow.

Read the letter, headlined, What We Need to Succeed, and take a look at the article.

What the World Needs Now is ... More Entrepreneurs

According to Dell, the world needs 600 million new jobs by 2025 to handle the growing working-age population. Those jobs, Michael Dell points out, aren't likely to come from big corporations like Dell, but instead from entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Rhonda Abrams says, "if you think that small companies and start-ups can change the world, you're not alone."

"Nothing will build a country out of poverty more quickly than jobs," said [Elizabeth] Gore [former Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EIR) for the United Nations Foundation and now EIR for Dell]. "And entrepreneurs create 70 to 90 percent of jobs worldwide. In turn, that supports building a health infrastructure, leads to better governance, and focuses on what people need to succeed."
