Ethics and Values: March 2005 Archives

Today I am guest hosting at BusinessPundit. Please visit my post on executing your values in the day-to-day activities of your business at Rob's site.

Slate magazine has released its list of 60 top philanthropists. And according to National Dialogue on Entrepreneurship, once again many have entrepreneurial roots.

"The 2004 list shows that most of the big givers are active or former entrepreneurs. Overall, it was a good year for philanthropy as the combined contributions of the Slate 60 reached $10.1 billion, smashing last year's total of $5.9 billion. Bill and Melinda Gates always rank high on the list; they top this year's Slate 60 with $3.4 billion pledged to their foundation last year."

Anita at Small Business Trends and I have been offering our thoughts on the virtue of being an entrepreneur. Here is her latest offering.
