ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT A Guide Book for Social Entrepreneurs July, 2012 Tom Suddes | O.G. | Coach forimpact.org tom@forimpact.org unreasonable_workbook_070512 ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT “A SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR CHANGES THE PERFORMANCE CAPACITY OF SOCIETY.” – Peter Drucker “SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS are TRANSFORMATIVE FORCES... people with new ideas to address major problems... who are relentless in pursuit of their visions... who simply will not take ‘no’ for an answer... who will not give up until they have spread their ideas as far as they possibly can.” – Author David Bornstein How To Change The World “SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP focuses on changing the underlying dynamics that created the demand for the service (solution) in the first place.” – Paul Light “ENTREPRENEURS are INNOVATORS who drive CREATIVE DESTRUCTION.” – 20th Century Economist Joseph Schrumpter “The ENTREPRENEUR always searches for CHANGE, responds to it, and exploits it as an OPPORTUNITY to create VALUE.” – Über Management Guru, Peter Drucker “The heart of ENTREPRENEURIAL management is the pursuit of OPPORTUNITY without regard to RESOURCES CURRENTLY CONTROLLED.” – Harvard Business School’s Howard Stevens “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the UNREASONABLE one persists in trying to adapt the wold to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the UNREASONABLE man.” – George Bernard Shaw “You can’t SOLVE the problem if you are playing by the RULES.” – Paul Arden Entrepreneur: “A French word for ‘UNDERTAKES.’” – Webster Entrepreneur: “A French word for ‘FOOL.’” - Suddes Copyright © 2012 - ForImpact | The Suddes Group - ForImpact.org 1 ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT ‘UNTEMEHER’ Performance Changers!

I have spent my days in stringing and unstringing my instrument. The time has not come true. The words have not been rightly set. Only there is the AGONY of WISHING in my heart.” – Rabindranath Tagore Bengali Poet Laureate “I have no regret. I have gambled and lost. It was all in a days work. At least I have had the unforgettable taste of the sea in my mouth” – Antoine de Saint-Expuéry “The great tragedy of the average man is that he goes to his grave with his MUSIC !"still in him.” – Longfellow “One night I was layin’ down, I heard Papa talkin’ to Mama. I heard Papa say, to let that boy BOOGIE-WOOGIE. ‘Cause it’s in him and it’s got to come out.” – John Lee Hooker “Boogie Chillen” “If you can walk, you can dance. If you can talk, you can SING.” – Zimbabwean Proverb “An artist must paint. A poet must write. A musician must make MUSIC ! if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can BE, he must BE.” – Abraham Maslow “I don’t write MUSIC. ! I invent it.” – Stravinsky “Time is short. The music won’t last. You better slow down. Don’t dance so fast. Life is not a race. Do take it slower. Hear the music ! Before the song is over.” – Slow Dance (Terminally Ill Girl) “Most people die with their MUSIC !"still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are getting ‘ready’ to live. Before they know it, their time runs out.” – Oliver Wendall Holmes Copyright © 2012 - ForImpact | The Suddes Group - ForImpact.org 21 25 WISHES 22 Copyright © 2012 - ForImpact | The Suddes Group - ForImpact.org ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT NOTES !

Tom has almost 40 years of experience in Strategic Visioning, Fund Development, Business, Sales and Entrepreneurship. He began his career in the Development Office at the University of Notre Dame in 1973. In 1983, he founded The Suddes Group, which has managed over 400 Campaigns, raised over $1 Billion and helped generate 3 million new jobs in their work with 125 Economic Development Organizations around the country. And, in the last 10 years, the For Impact Partners and Coaches have helped organizations raise another $1 Billion to scale and grow their Impact. Tom has made more than 6,000 one-on-one ‘sales’ presentations… and has trained thousands of 3rd Sector and Business Leaders in the art and science of becoming a For Impact Organization. He is the author of Take A Quantum Leap, a number of For Impact Guides and co-author with Nick Fellers of the content at the ForImpact.org website. A serial entrepreneur since age 16, Tom has founded 19 businesses; and now dedicates one-third of his ‘work’ schedule to helping social entrepreneurs change the world. He also spends significant time in Ireland helping to transform the country’s philanthropic model. In 1997, Tom won a Trip Around the World (the only contest he has ever entered) where Success Magazine and Opportunity International awarded him a chance to share his entrepreneurial experiences with Third-World Micro Entrepreneurs in Russia, Poland, India, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Australia. Tom served in the U.S. Army as an Infantry Officer, Airborne and Pathfinder. He was a two-time welterweight boxing champion at Notre Dame, and has been the boxing coach there for almost 40 years. He returns every year for a six-week ‘ mini-sabbatical’ to coach and referee the Bengal Bouts. He is the Executive Producer of STRONG BODIES FIGHT, a documentary film about Notre Dame Boxing and its impact upon the Missions in Bangladesh. Throughout his crazy, eclectic, eccentric life, Tom has been anchored by his family. Now, his seven grandchildren are the centerpiece of life on his 50-acre farm/training center, Eagle Creek, outside of Columbus, Ohio Copyright © 2012 - ForImpact | The Suddes Group - ForImpact.org 25
