  • The Emotional entrepreneur

    Posted on July 10th, 2009 Marieme No comments

    The journey to becoming an emotional entrepreneur starts with accepting responsibility for yourself and your role in society. It is essential that you decide to believe in the value of who you are and what you have to offer. Once you make this decision the emotional centres of your brain release an emotional energy that motivates you to give as if what you are doing is the most important thing in the world.

    The world needs people like this- individuals who can articulate a shared idea of why they exist. Who they are and where they are going. There remains a continual need for the world that needs self reliant, self actualize and independent people at its core. Men and women with solid levels of self reliance and self belief are emotional independent, with means they can formulate and clarify vision and values and leverage the talent of others to achieve their full potential.

    The Emotional Entrepreneurs are people that spend their times in helping others and making this world a better place. They exercise emotional management rather than micro- management. In a fast paced and pressured working world, people call out for individuals who are independent and can stand above the chaos and provide a coherent story their entrepreneurial lives.

    A typical entrepreneur gets into entrepreneurship because he wants to start a Business or Venture. In the last couples of years I have seen the rise of certain type of entrepreneur. They are not looking to be wealthy, their egos are at level zero, and they are just interested in helping others to develop by transferring their skills.

    They strive to contribute, collaborates, share, and learn. I found them supportive, giving and really open to new ideas. They are not imposing their ideas anymore, they are sociable and friendly. They use the social media platforms to make themselves heard. Emotional Entrepreneurs are invariably those who have developed the ability to respond constructively to crises and challenges for the benefits of the inexperienced.

    Who they really are is forged by their actions. Watch out, they are rising!

    Happy reading!

  • Investing in an Africa girl through Education

    Posted on June 20th, 2009 Marieme 2 comments

    Millions of young girls in Africa are not educated. If you are familiar with African villages or have been to Africa you will know what I am talking about.
    My Foundation is supporting the 10000 girls project in Senegal- Kaolack. We aim to put 10000 girls in school by 2013. We have more than 2000 girls in scholarship today and 7 centres where more than 50 teachers are teaching to our girls.

    Let me tell you that a young girl life in Africa is extremely uncertain, she has a little choice if not educated she will be forced to marry an older man; she will die with HIV aids or cervical cancer. If not educated, she will be raped or force to prostitution, if not educated she will leave her country hoping for a better life outside her country, If not educated she will end up in the hands of bad people that will take full advantage of her, if not educated she will be lost and her life will be over. Her life will become increasingly difficult and she basically has no Future.

    As an Franco-African woman, I know how education is important and have a firm believe that if girls in Africa are given an opportunity to get basic education, not only they will become self reliant, independent, but they will become self sufficient. Education will improve their lives big time.

    A sustainable education program will keep them in Africa and with out a doubt you will increase their confidence.

    Teaching a young African girl the basic of Education is rewarding.
