For years, I believed that entrepreneurship was synonymous with opening companies, taking on risks and generating profits. But, over the course of my journey, I discovered that there is an even more powerful type of undertaking — the one that transforms people.
And for this reason I say, with conviction: educating is the most entrepreneurial that exists.
Undertake and identify a dream and create a solution. Educating is exactly this, but not a deeper level.
Quem ensina, form futures. E quem form futures, mute or rumo de tudo que vem depois.
At SEDA, I learned that each student is an impact project. An investment of time, energy and faith. He does not know what he is going to build, but he believes that, in some way, he is going to multiply or that he learns.
Educating requires the same courage of an entrepreneur. Start without guarantees, test paths, err, correct and try again. Engage with different people every day, balance purpose and result, inspire without promising achievements.
The difference is that the end, or “profit” of education is not measured in numbers, but rather in stories.
When I founded SEDA, my goal was never just to teach English, but to teach self-accreditation.
Seeing a student becoming insecure and coming out confident is the greater validation that learning is the true driving force of social transformation.
This is what every entrepreneur should understand: the most sustainable growth is what begins within the people.
Companies go bankrupt, markets change, technologies change. But knowledge, when shared, multiplies.
It is my pleasure to say that education is the only thing capable of generating infinite value because what is learned can change the world.
I believe that every great entrepreneur, at some point, needs to become an educator.
Not necessarily in a classroom, but as a way to inspire, share and build knowledge.
Because, not fim, undertake and educate the same purpose: to prove that the future can be better and aspire to make it real.
