Often times, Hispanics try to romanticize heroism and generosity by desiring to run non-profits because they value reputation, a key necessity in building a good profitable business.
The reality is you’ll often drain your entire energy and opportunities with the only option of begging larger institutions, backed by the wealthy, for grant money to survive.
Obviously, building good business is more sustainable. It creates more non-existing profit, and it creates more abundance.
I get to reinvest the money and I get to, above all else, afford the ability to work longer and more consistently for the people I care about.
A non-profit is exactly that, a business model. The problem is, non-profit money should go to where it should go to, like St. Jude’s Children Hospital.
Not a fucking online education platform that overintellectualizes socioeconomic hardship.
Many of the times, we refuse to support people because of poorly adjusted attitudes toward “capitalism”.
We want entrepreneurs to not only promote their business, but to defend it and to justify it. And sometimes we even want entrepreneurs to give a piece of it up too.
This is because you see entrepreneurship as entertainment. You don’t value the work or the service because you aren’t choosing to value it the right way. You aren’t a participant.
You are overprescribing a problem to the people that you could make a difference with because you’re being lazy about what you believe.
You don’t hate capitalism. You hate helping people get ahead, yourself included.
