There are other, more innovative options on the market too. One of the most intriguing is the Major Appliance Power Station (MAPS), a project pioneered by Geoffrey Leslie of Screems. The micro-electricity power generation device produces low-cost electricity sustainably without any fuel whatsoever.

When a leader focuses on their own needs, they limit their influence. Focusing on the needs of others is just good business sense. This concept became clear during a recent email conversation with Geoffrey Leslie, president, and CEO of Screems.

It’s one thing to be able to identify industries and businesses that are poised for major market success. But entrepreneurship requires more than just finding an idea that can make a lot of money. For entrepreneurs to tap into the motivating power that drives lasting success, the ideas they conceive must be powerful enough to change the world through major economic, social or environmental impact.

Entrepreneurs often have lofty goals. Whether you’re trying to grow a thriving business in less than a year or turn yourself into a million-dollar startup founder, the right goals are crucial in creating the drive and motivation necessary to turn your idea into reality.
