Problems are everywhere. If we gave you the chance to share your problems right now, you would probably list many things that make you feel uncomfortable. Things that are happening to you and that make you suffer in a way or another. Still, what if you sat down with a friend and shared them. Probably, you’ve done that and you’ve discovered that your problems are not your own. That other people around you and elsewhere share the same issues with you. Your problems are universal and you are not lonely in your fight against them.

This last thought makes you feel a little better, right?

This struggle has been there since the dawn of times. Humanity has been able to overcome its struggles over the years. To travel to another country 120 years ago, you may need hours or even days. Now to travel to another continent, you need only hours. And remember it’s only 120 years, so you may find people who were born at that time and that are still alive today… How did humanity reduce that struggle? Through innovation…

Innovation may solve a problem locally. But, your problem is global Remember? So since your idea reduced your own suffering, it can do it for everyone… How? Entrepreneurship… To solve humanity issues more people should be able to step up and try to solve them. Because, if more people did, you would have more chances that your current struggles could be solved in your lifetime…

For example, Uber’s founder has inspired his idea from his daily struggle with Taxis. He stepped up and innovated in a way that solved the problem not for himself alone, but for the whole world. His struggle was indeed universal, and the entrepreneur inside him reduced the suffering of millions of people. Entrepreneurship is one of the best approaches to help humanity reduce its problems…

The story is not as perfect as it seems to be… Innovation through entrepreneurship presents many issues that we’re going to talk about in our next post.
