Week in YE Vol 4: A Recap

PROFILE: E-Smooth

E-Smooth – The Entertaining Entrepreneur

E-Smooth was always the class clown. Relationship building with other entrepreneurs is the most fulfilling to him. E-Smooth makes a living as a comedian now. After high school he decided that the most value he can create comes from delivering what the customer wants. He bought his own comedy club and employs 13 part time comedians and staff. 

Thanks to everyone who submitted responses to "How would you, as an entrepreneur, determine how to create value for your customers?" to E-Smooth last week. Here is a sample of our winner Danielle's entry. 

“Value is all dependent on the customer, so first to create value I need to determine the needs of the customers and locate my target audience. Another major factor that goes into creating value for customers is quality customer service. It is not only the quality of the baked goods I am providing but the experience customers have when they come into my bakery. It is important for me to stand out from my competition with superior taste and quality. All of these things combined are associated and important in creating value for society.”

Week in YE Vol 3: A Recap

PROFILE: Hammerin' Hank the handyman

Hank enjoyed experimenting when he was growing up. He was always following his family around watching them work on cars or fix the air conditioner. That real life experience is paying off for Hank now that he’s a handyman. He’s been able to solve problems for thousands of customers over the 24 years he’s been in business for himself. 

Thanks to everyone who submitted "Why is FREEDOM important to entrepreneurship." to Hank last week. 

More about the definition of freedom Hank uses.

Many entrepreneurs have found it difficult to enter into markets due to restrictions and laws. The freedom to earn a living has been interrupted due to legislation favoring businesses who have friends in high positions. When entrepreneurs have the freedom to enter in markets and compete it makes everyone better off potentially; the customers, current businesses now forced to innovate and improve products/services, and the new business. Governments who institute regulations making it difficult for inspiring entrepreneurs become a disservice to those wanting to earn a living and create value for their communities.
