Reading Assignment

Our group's assigned book, Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World's Problems by Michael Strong and John Mackey, gave us a better idea of how capitalism can improve not only on an individual level but also on a global level. It displays Entrepreneurs in a positive light and gives us many examples of how capitalism has helped to create a world where people can have the right to make money while contributing to society. The book emphasizes that by harnessing the power to create a market to help those in need, we can benefit all who are involved both directly and indirectly. Another important aspect is that in order to become an entrepreneur, one must be willing to take risks and have the strength to follow through, which also helps that individual grow as a person. Having read this novel, we are now more aware of the positive impact our endeavors will make for the girls of D.I.V.A.s. Our hope is to use the information to make this business as successful as possible by improving ourselves and the lives of these young women through capitalism.
