The brain child of authority marketing expert, Ken Sherman, Managing Partner of GoProLocal, Winning Ways seeks to give back to the business community by encouraging small business, start-ups and hungry entrepreneurs to have the confidence to succeed. Sherman says, “I’m very excited to have worked with a wonderful team of highly successful business owners, CEO’s and Entrepreneurs to create Winning Ways. They are an amazing group of people who believe in the power of entrepreneurship to change lives and they truly wish to help others find success, just a little bit quicker and faster than they may have found it themselves, with a few less ‘bumps’ and ‘lessons learned the hard way’ for those who follow in their footsteps!” In his book, The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century, Thomas Friedman describes this type of entrepreneur as a “social entrepreneur.” Socially-minded entrepreneurs are gravely needed today to guide and encourage the next generation of business people to be creative, solve the world’s problems and one day be in a position to give back and “pay-it-forward’ themselves. Friedman writes, “One of the newest figures to emerge on the world stage in recent years is the social entrepreneur. This is usually someone who burns with desire to make a positive social impact on the world, but believes that the best way of doing it is, as the saying goes, not by giving poor people a fish and feeding them for a day, but by teaching them to fish, in hopes of feeding them for a lifetime. I have come to know several social entrepreneurs in recent years, and most combine a business school brain with a social worker's heart. The triple convergence and the flattening of the world have been a godsend for them. Those who get it and are adapting to it have begun launching some very innovative projects.” With their contribution to Winning Ways, authors Ken Sherman, Dr. Patricia Pivonka, John Herring, Kim Lenz, Christopher Soto, Doug Rusk, Tim Rochford, Lori Neff, Jennifer Riggs and Jason Wiseman all proudly join the ranks of “social entrepreneurs” who give back.
