"We've navigated the Sea of Fearlessness, explored the Shores of Purpose, connected at the Harbor of Community, crossed the Hills of Influence and Impact, discovered Tools and Technology within the Valley of Mastery, and embarked on bold adventures in Exploration Bay. Yet, many more discoveries await before we reach the Plateau of Balance, where the Good Life Ark lies hidden."

About

Lincoln Island?

Lincoln Island is an imaginary island, first introduced in Jules Verne's The Mysterious Island. That story inspired me to view life as an adventure of learning and mastery. Over time, my own activities naturally aligned with a few principles I now call the path of the Entrepreneur.

For me, an entrepreneur is a life adventurer—someone who consciously takes action despite the risks. Learns from experience, connects with others, and inspires along the way.

These are the principles I talked about:

  • Community Building

  • Influence & Impact

  • Adventure & Exploration

  • Purpose

  • Fearlessness

  • Tools & Technology

The Path of a Social Entrepreneur

Lecture at the School of Economics and Business, UNIversity of Ljubljana.


Please answer the 3 questions in the following survey to help me shape the lecture:


Is Social Entrepreneurship a Means to an End? Or is it a Process?

In a world that often emphasizes outcomes, social entrepreneurs face a different question: is success defined by the results, or is it found in the journey?

Our society teaches us to think sequentially, leading us to believe that every action should produce a desired outcome. But what happens when our efforts don’t meet expectations? Or worse, when others are disappointed by the results we produce?

The endless 'what if' questions can amplify our fears and insecurities, making them seem real. Yet in social businesses where we seek to solve neglected issues, resilience becomes an essential strength.

In this lecture, I’ll explore answers to key questions:

  • What does it take to succeed as a social entrepreneur?

  • How can you excel at communication?

  • What does it mean to enjoy the process of social entrepreneurship?

We'll dive into themes of fear, courage, loneliness, community, leadership, purpose, and the spirit of adventure. We’ll also tackle the emotional side of entrepreneurship—burnout, balancing energy, and staying grounded.

By the end of the lecture, you will leave with actionable tools and frameworks to deepen your understanding of social businesses and social entrepreneurship and how they relate to personal development.
