How can the next president better help small business and entrepreneurs thrive?

Thursday, September 13, 2007 at 10:17 pm | In People |

My mental block was over when I read Senator Obama’s question at LinkedIn. It was the first question posted at the top of the page, near the navigational buttons, thus, I decided to take a shot. I will not aim to be the best person who will answer this question but for the sake of failed May 2007 Election here in the Philippines, even if the Presidential election will preside three years from now (Year 2010), thus, you are reading this message.

Let us first dissect and define the important keywords in these question and I will try to connect their meaning with the “How” question later on; President, Help, Business, Entrepreneurs, Thrive.

President, the elected head of a society. It simply means that you have to win first in order for you to put your dreams (and promises as well) into reality. Being the President, you are the best and the last person to know how to “help” your people, thus, help means, make it easier for (someone) to do something.

Lending help should not be lie, it should come from the bottom of your heart, which is, to help your fellow people to grow, with their life, business, moral aspect, spirituality, everything. And speaking of business, it means, work to be done or matters to be attended to. Being a President also means to be a good business man, a smart-type entrepreneur in finding ways to to efficiently manage his own country. Just consider those video games out there, isn’t it fun to watch how your village grows and how furious to see your village fall? It is basically the same concept I’m trying to point out.

As for the meaning of entrepreneur, Oxford says, a person who sets up a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so. Wow, that is something bold, right? Are we talking about the “financial” aspects here for the leadership of a President? Yes, of course.

Do we need to redefine the question? Not necessarily. But where is my answer to Senator Obama’s question? Here it is.

The President can help small business and entrepreneurs thrive if the President is business minded as well and he’s also considered as a good entrepreneur even before assuming the seat of Presidency. Lastly, the President must also know how to formulate better “financial” strategy for his country with regards to any situations, be it positive or not. As the quote says, “Birds of the same feather, flock together”, for which, I believe in terms of political speaking.

If you want to add a certain percentage for your success in Presidency seat, we can help you in terms of advertising campaign. Of course, we’re talking about small business here. So, any thoughts about our offer? ^_^

  1. a good entrepreneur does not necessarily mean a good president.

    and do you know what a ‘better financial strategy’ means? it’s not as easy as you make it sound, nor so vague.

    just helping along. ;)

    foobarph says: i know liz, better financial strategy is not an easy tune, it involves a lot of things and i can say it’s a general term. thanks for helping along. ^^

  6. I too fret for the Philippines’ future. Determined though I am to relocate there in a few years’ time, everything’s still up in the air and highly dependent on the economic situation people face in the country. The funny thing (though not har har funny) about presidential candidates in the Philippines, they conduct themselves in a way that they would running for a popularity contest. And sadly, the Filipino voters have not grown up, 21 years after the EDSA Revolution. The next president should have a strong economic platform and an even stronger follow through.
