Entrepreneurs start businesses. Businesses grow and stimulate the economy. A stimulated economy helps pull Michigan out of a financial dark cloud. The problem, of course, is that first part... Michigan needs entrepreneurs, both retention and attraction.
Michigan Policy Network posts a blog breaking down a few points on how to get those entrepreneurs.
Excerpt:
Michigan is in need of an entrepreneurial makeover. Young innovators
are ready to implement their business concepts yet continually face
obstacles known to both the seasoned and rookie business leader.
Children today are raised in an entrepreneurial environment-two-thirds
of entrepreneurship comprises of men and women between the age of
34-64. Subsequently, their children are raised on the notion of
creative thinking and business optimism. In less educated words: The
apple does not fall far from the tree. The focus then must be shifted
from solely providing support for big business to encouraging young
innovators to "take the leap" and start a business of their own.
Credit must be given to America's younger generations (under the age
of 30). The burden of ensuring a fruitful economy will soon shift from
the diligent business leaders of today to the innovators and
entrepreneurs of tomorrow. Such responsibility is being taken
seriously-programs and organizations have surfaced encouraging the
unity of college entrepreneurs in order to share ideas and concepts to
fuel innovations that will, ideally, create thousands of new jobs and
millions of dollars in revenue for their respective region.
