How Entrepreneurial
Energy Transforms into
Socioeconomic Energy
Entrepreneurial Energetics
Copyright © 2015 Hillview Partners Network LLC
Entrepreneurial energy, what is “it?” What ignites it?
Who and what adds to it?
Who and what drains, stalls or destroys it — why? Who and what transforms it?
Even against resistance, how do high-performing entrepreneurs get and generate so much of it?
Where does it come from?
Where would the world be without it?
Entrepreneurial Energetics ℠

Voice recognition technology matters and it’s cool. Development started 50+ years ago!
10
New methods for 3-D printing are rising out of the ooze! This is cool and it could matter!
11
Things “old,” that are hand-made and top-quality, CAN be “new,” cool — and should matter.

New York City Cider bar (with 144 varieties) is both cool and matters — at least to some.

Entrepreneurs are Founders, Co-Founders or Employees with Entrepreneurial Aptitude
Find the gap and fill it with a new idea, method, product, service or other alternative.
“For entrepreneurs, hope is reductive; an ‘ask.’ Unwavering confidence in what’s ahead trumps hoping for it.”

Illinois generates well under 2% of the nation’s venture capital. Investment dollars go toward safety of blue-chip stocks and bonds. We’re not known to invest in ourselves — i.e., not enough interest in, or cash investment for supporting, local entrepreneurs.
Today Chicago has 40,000+ Federal employees and 40,000+ tech start-up employees. Both numbers are climbing.

For decades we know we are living with the dark-cloud legacy of corruption over our heads; from Al Capone’s celebrated crimes to incarcerated former governors. How can we expect the world to believe our claim to have unimpeachable Midwest Values?

For the world looking-in, where are clear signs of our so-called Midwest Values, work ethic, capitalistic-mindedness, or even U.S. national connectedness? What views, news and clues can serious-minded analysts use for compelling socioeconomic assessment? Are we seen as hyper-local politics-obsessed? Business-focused?

Chicago metro area is the world's 5th largest economy, measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) — nearly three times the economy of the San Francisco metro area.
Even with this amount of Chicago-generated wealth, San Francisco's venture capital investment is thirty times (30X) larger. Chicago is not as ready to invest in new ventures.

Few Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in Chicago. Companies here are relatively small compared to others on the annual list of 500 biggest.

After the Chicago Fire of 1871, major corporations and other businesses grew to depend upon elected and appointed officials in ways a capitalistic free-enterprise economy was to always avoid. General Sheridan’s Martial Law remains embedded in many Chicagoans’ DNA.

After The Fire of 1871, socioeconomically Chicago fell and stayed behind — “like Mrs. O’Leary’s cow’s tail,” as the barnyard saying goes. Rome blamed Emperor Nero for its 64 A.D. fire. “Cow Town” Chicago blamed an innocent cow.

U.S. Independence and Chicago
64
Copyright © 2015 Hillview Partners Network LLC
4 July 1776 The U.S. Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
1788 — The United States Constitution was ratified (12 years later). 1837 — Chicago was incorporated 61 years after The Declaration
was signed, and 49 years after The U.S. Constitution was ratified. 1861-1865 — The U.S. Civil War galvanized the nation’s attention;
arresting attention away from newly incorporated Chicago.
65
Copyright © 2015 Hillview Partners Network LLC
How connected was Chicago with the rest of the country? Were we disconnected by-default — more so than strategically aligned?
1871 —The Chicago Fire probably placed Chicago on the nation’s
mind — only six years after the end of The Civil War, 34 years after Chicago was incorporated, 88 years after The US Constitution was ratified, and 95 years after the Declaration of 1776 was signed.
Feeling vulnerable and “separate,” in 1871 did Chicago’s citizens
connect through a sociopsychological Declaration of Dependence (e.g., connecting trough governments and public officials)?

Shame and pride essentially paralyze us. Remorse moves us down deep inward for assessment. Regret lifts us back up for learning what we can. Reconciliation accelerates forward motion.
