This is a profound and practical article. I've found this to be one of the most honest records of the reality that most social entrepreneurs experience. It can be glorious, but it is wrought with red tape and frustrations, for every success there have been not so fortunate endeavors attempted. But we must keep trying! There should be a more organized way to connect these individual entrepreneurs, combining forces and resources would make each plan more likely to succeed. Someone would present an idea for a project, and others could search for buzzwords of causes they are passionate about, and the two could communicate through messages, and potentially work together for the greater good! Sort of like a facebook/twitter for people passionate about getting involved actively to make a difference and develop an approach and solution together, instead of having each person "reinvent the wheel". Thoughts?
