Fear, scarcity and value
The things we fear are probably feared by others, and when we avoid them, we're doing what others are doing as well. Which is why there's a scarcity of whatever work it is we're avoiding. And of course, scarcity often creates value. The shortcut is simple: if you're afraid of something, of putting yourself out there, of creating a kind of connection or a promise, that's a clue that you're on the right track. Go, do that. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>

Exploring Social Entrepreneurship
WINDHOEK - The previous two columns briefly introduced the readers to the definition and the potential we, as Namibians, have to groom entrepreneurs in this country. This month we are going look at various forms of entrepreneurship namely: social, ethnic, and community, indigenous and international entrepreneurship that each citizen of this great country can engage in, starting with social entrepreneurship today. My classification of the various forms of entrepreneurship is based on the scholarly works of Peredo, Dana and Aldrich. When we talk of social entrepreneurship, we talk about those groups of people or individuals within the community who aim at giving innovative solutions to the problems that communities are faced with. These people are usually ambitious, persistent and try their level best in tackling social issues and to offer new ideas that can bring about change in Namibia.
WINDHOEK - Since the second half of the twentieth century, many people from all corners of the world started heading towards more developed economies/regions to seek better entrepreneurial opportunities. The objective of this column is to explore and facilitate the understanding of this movement. When we talk of ethnicity, we are referring to the differences that exist between categories of people. For example: when nationalities from France, Zimbabwe or Zambia move to Namibia, the interactions, which will be shared by these people with a common national background doing business, can be referred to as “ethnic entrepreneurship”. As we learned the importance of social entrepreneurship last week, ethnic entrepreneurship is critical to discuss, as immigrants can bring a lot skills to the host nation.

Believe it or not, the economy is slowly getting better. I’ll grant you, the last two calendar quarters for which we have numbers (2nd and 3rd quarters, 2011) have seen pretty sluggish growth but it was growth nonetheless. Meanwhile, the NFIB reports two consecutive months of improved (if still pretty low) Small Business Optimism Indices, the National Association of Home Builders notes a positive trend in multifamily housing construction that bodes well for the near future, and the National Retail Federation tracked better-than-expected consumer spending during the holiday shopping season (see below). It is during times like this that the world seems wide open to the would-be business owner who is paying attention and has the kind of vision that can see next year’s opportunities embedded in this year’s chaos.
