Ari Meisel Supports NY Entrepreneur Week

Ari Meisel Supports NY Entrepreneur Week

Entrepreneur Week is a milestone achievement for me as an entrepreneur. I started my first company when I was 12 at a time when young entrepreneur had to work very hard just to get taken seriously, now we have people who become billionaires before they graduate college and entrepreneurship is not only accepted but is encouraged in people of all ages and backgrounds.

A week dedicated to Entrepreneurship is amazing to me and is a validation of the efforts of thousands of young entrepreneurs of the last generation. This country has seen a lot of recessions, and usually we get out some sort of ingenuity. I believe that entrepreneurship will be the future economic vehicle going forward and I also believe that green is one of the roads it will take towards the future.

Green is everywhere now from building materials, to energy sources, to household cleaning products. Whether people have realized that we need to do something to reverse the damage that has been done to the planet, or they’ve grown a greater social conscious, or they simply find the idea of cleaning their floor with a mop made from recycled soda bottles cool, everybody is interested in green.

In order to move forward in this environment you need to understand how green can and does affect your business and how you can use it to propel your business onward. Over the next week I hope to bring you a few key posts about what you can do to green your business, respond to your clients green needs, and enter green industries that may be entirely new to your business.
