Welcome to our special edition "Building Better Businesses". As is well recognized, the business world is changing. For the new generation of entrepreneurs, setting up a Silicon Valley social media venture isn't their dream. Instead, their priority is clear: building a company that has a purpose at its heart. These founders speak with clarity that they want their companies to have a social or environmental impact as well as to make money. They want to play a role in their communities, strike a balance between work and private life, and invest for the long term rather than for quick profits.
At the same time, older people are becoming more active in entrepreneurship, too, as they find they still harbor the dream of setting up their own business and now have the confidence to take the risk. With people living longer and starting to seek more positive in later life, this trend will surely continue to grow in the future. Plus, it is noted that older founders are more motivated to succeed in business than their younger counterparts (相对应者) because they believe they have more experience and wisdom.
Our special edition intends to help you build a better business, whether you are an ambitious individual who aspires to launch an independent company and strives to make a(n) positive impact on the world, or whether you are already a business owner and are looking for inspiration.
