Provide holistic entrepreneurship training and tools for businesses to succeed Our Core Values – 5 Pillars of Entrepreneurship IEL is built on what we call the 5 Pillars of entrepreneurship: 1. Understand Money - Money solves all problems. - If people do not know how to handle their personal finances, they will have issues with their business finances. 2. Know Individual Purpose - To be poor is to have lack and to have no hope of more. - Poverty is a mindset with symptoms of lack and greed. - Without a mindset change people will always need help and support, instead of becoming self-sufficient. - Understanding that one can be a part of their own solution and discovering their place in society (their purpose) is a key to bringing about this mindset shift. 3. Start Businesses - Once money is understood and purpose is known, now one will be able to start solid businesses – purpose-driven businesses. 4. Run Businesses Effectively - Running a business is not the same as starting a business. The new businesses will now need support. Don't re-invent the wheel - use processes that have already been tried and tested. 5. Leave a Legacy
