Starting with Bill Strickland, Read Your Way to Rebel-Hood
In a previous post we listed many of the graduate-level programs available to aspiring social entrepreneurs. While I’ll never discourage a rebel from pursuing a formal education, I’ll always encourage self-education and personal development through reading.
Regardless of the non-profit organization you hope to create or become part of, there are easily-accessible resources available that will make you a better rebel and business person. Some of those resources are listed in our Recommended Reading List on Amazon.
One of the books on this list I want to call special attention to, because it is one that changed my life. May sound lofty, but it’s true. Bill Strickland, author of Make the Impossible Possible, is my hero. In my mind, he defines what it means to be a rebel.
This video is 35 minutes long. It’s a commitment. But if I told you it just might inspire you to become a rebel TODAY, would you watch it?
It was reading this book and flying to meet Mr. Strickland in Pittsburgh that gave me the motivation to take Wounded Warrior Project to a larger place. This is not only a “thank you” to Mr. Strickland, but it’s also a plea to you. If you have an interest in creating social change, start working toward your goal by reading Make the Impossible Possible. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
