entrepreneur must count among their most cherished and important
abilities. An entrepreneur’s most important little thing is to be an
employer who provides jobs for people who are hungry for security,
benefits, and a more promising future. It’s a massive responsibility and
one that Midas Touch entrepreneurs take very seriously. We understand
that losing a job has the power to rip out the emotional core of an
employee and, in the process, jeopardize their family’s well-being.
Increased unemployment also affects the communities we live in, our
nation, and the world.
The best entrepreneurs believe that the true measure of their success has
little to do with their wealth or the size of their homes. It has to do with
the number of jobs their business creates. Imagine an entrepreneur like
Steven Jobs. His business not only created countless jobs at Apple, but
also spurred hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of jobs in all the
industries and businesses that support Apple products. That is the Midas
Touch.
We must understand that governments cannot create real jobs. Only
entrepreneurs can do that. It’s up to all of us to take action and change this
world for the better.
