The Pursuit of Social Entrepreneurship<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2005, during my undergraduate days, I discovered Social Entrepreneurship and became interested in how it could help solve problems in communities and contribute to national development. From that moment, I became a serious reader. Between 2005 and 2007, if you were looking for me, the most likely place to find me was the Covenant University Library. In fact, there was a period when I attended lectures mainly to sign attendance before returning to the library. I don’t recommend that today! I spent hours every day reading books, articles, and stories about leadership, entrepreneurship, and development. Around that same time, I discovered a free online leadership institute in the United States called IIGL. I enrolled and received many books that still influence my work today. Those books taught me many lessons. But one lesson stayed with me:<\/span><\/p>\n

Greed destroys dreams. Greed destroys organizations. Greed destroys nations. As I read about successful countries, businesses, and leaders, I noticed something. Many societies do not fail because they lack resources or talented people. They fail because greed becomes more important than service.<\/span><\/p>\n

When leaders become greedy, money meant for development is diverted for personal gain. Resources that should build schools, hospitals, roads, and businesses disappear. Trust is lost. Progress slows down. The whole nation suffers. This lesson was very important for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew I wanted to become a successful social entrepreneur. But I also knew that success without character can become a problem. So, I made a decision early in life to keep things simple. Today, despite the growth of our organization, Springboard, and the revenues we manage, I still try to live a simple life. Not because money is bad, but because I never want the pursuit of wealth to become my main purpose. Personally, I believe one of Nigeria’s biggest challenges is not a lack of resources or talented people. We have both. Our challenge is building a culture where people think more about service than self-interest, where leadership is seen as a responsibility and not an opportunity to enrich oneself. The future of Nigeria will not only depend on good policies. It will also depend on the values we choose to live by. The battle for Nigeria’s future is not only economic or political. It is also a battle against greed.<\/span><\/p>\n

My heart was filled with so much joy when I read Michael Kelechi’s article yesterday morning in the Global Leadership Newsletter!\u00a0 Knowing that another human being who is so intelligent and consciously awakened plus aware who also reads the teachings of Neville Goddard then puts them into practice. What a beautiful Soul!\u00a0 I have a lot of Neville’s books but I didn’t have the one he mentioned in his article, \u201cYour Faith Is Your Fortune.\u201d\u00a0 I ordered the Ebook right away and have been immersed in the material all day.\u00a0 When I read this material; it brings so much joy to my heart!\u00a0 This is who I am!\u00a0 Thank you IIGL for reflecting this to me!<\/span><\/p>\n

The case studies in the book include Jody Williams, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for the international campaign against landmines she ran by e-mail from her Vermont home; Roberto Baggio, a 31-year old Brazilian who has established eighty computer schools in the slums of Brazil; and Diana Propper, who has used investment banking techniques to make American corporations responsive to environmental dangers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meet Our New Students<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We had 3 new students this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Princess Obure (Kenya)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I am a certified, results-oriented Beauty Therapist with a reputation for transforming client experiences into personalized journeys of relaxation and rejuvenation. My career is defined by a deep-rooted passion for skincare, anatomical wellness, and the meticulous execution of a wide variety of beauty treatments. With half a decade of hands-on experience in high-end spas and wellness clinics, I have honed my ability to analyze individual skin types, deeply understand complex physiology, and build lasting, trusting relationships with a diverse clientele.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israe Moujahid (Morocco)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m 28 years old, and I’m forging my own path with tireless curiosity and a deep desire to find meaning in every step of my life. I’ve always been driven by this urge to understand, to learn, to discover not only the world around me, but also what I’m capable of becoming. Growing is a natural, daily, almost instinctive process for me: I love challenging myself, pushing my limits, honing my skills, and evolving, both professionally and personally.<\/span>
\nKhaled Omer (Sudan)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I am from East Sudan in Al Gedarel State in West Al Gadsref in a city called Al Showak.\u00a0 I am 40 years old; a married man and I have two kids. The eldest is Amro who is\u00a0 8 years old and the youngest is Zainab; she is 4 years old.\u00a0 I am a graduate from Sennar University; Faculty of Deduction; in the English language and Literary department.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make A Difference<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dream Team 22<\/span><\/p>\n

Please join Dream Team 22 as our goal is to have 22 people contributing $22 per month.\u00a0 We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month \u2013 especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks\u2019 salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2026!<\/span><\/p>\n

Please join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL! You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money.\u00a0 To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below.\u00a0 To become a member of the Dream Team 22 by committing 22 second a day to help us hold the vision, contact Deb for details:\u00a0 drosen2@wi.rr.com<\/span><\/p>\n

Checks on US banks, payable to the International Institute For Global Leadership, can be mailed to IIGL, 11537 N. Lake Shore Drive, Mequon, WI\u00a0 53092 USA.
