Follow Friday to save the world!

As many of you know, I love Twitter! I really like the #followfriday trend - but sometimes you want to know WHY someone chose a particular person to mention. Sometimes if you are only mentioning one person, you have enough characters left to briefly mention why. But usually you have more than one person to highlight.

In the areas of saving the world, microfinance and non profits in general, I have two #followfriday recommendations for you. The first is @johndrew25. He posts a wealth of information on nonprofits and leads a grant-related ning group that has been helpful to me. The second is @goodsocialnet - a positive tweeter who is doing good in the world! So follow these two ASAP! I never get tired of hearing positive things.

Happy #FollowFriday everyone!

Questions

If you had to guess what the #1 obstacle is to entrepreneurs, what would you say? Is it lack of health care? Lack of family support? Lack of a rich uncle to underwrite their life?

In my opinion its impossible to pick just one. Naturally every situation is different and we all come from a different place - background, education, motivation, etc. But cutting across all of those differences, there are two obstacles that vie for that coveted spot in just about every entrepreneur's life: fear and lack of money. They are related in a lot of situations but they do not have to be.

Do you agree? Disagree? Have an example? Leave a comment!

Currently I am looking to interview some new entrepreneurs and feature them on this blog. Let me know if you'd be interested or know someone who would be!
