Although, we, too believe that the term 'America' refers, to a whole contenient, those outside, of the United States, must learn; to except the fact that the entrepreneurs, of the United States, represent the most powerful strongholds, of the World, regionally, and as one country. Therefore, as 'The particular repesentative, of the 'America's, it is never the less 'America'. But as to you' Ryan Allis: God has truly blessed you. Don't take it for granted. I like many before you, did not have the many advantages, you had as a child growing up, in a financially secure home, where people, of knowledge and marketable skills, such as the talented teachers you had, and the advantage, of aquiring attorneys, and engineers, and computer scientists, etc. I didn't even have the access and guidenance, of a good librarian, or "How To" text books. I was a child inventor, and a good one. My inventions, were always created, to solve some problem. My parents were to poor and too, proud to market, my ideas, after all, 'I was only a child'. Now, however; even after raising three children, and self educating myself, and I am now a senior citizen, and I have decided, to heed the call, of our President, Mr. Obama. I have dusted off some of my old ideas, of which I believe are some solutions, that will end some, of our country's real estate market problem(s). And I believe they will provide financial security and economic, solutions, for our private citizens, especially, the poor. If, the 'laws' don't prevent me, in any way, and I can find some financial support and backing, without losing my ideas, to someone else, I, too, will also finally, obtain the security, I have long awaited, for myself and family. "Yes" "I will heed the call to "Build a Stronger America". Remember, charity must first, start, 'at home', and then, 'spreads abroad'. (An old biblical addage) This is what we, the United States Americans, mean when we say, "We are 'Americans', because, 'we are who we are', and we are where things, originate, or begin.

It has always been the entrepreneur who has driven innovation. For some reason the current administration fails to, or does not want to, see this.

I endorse the contents of this video 99%. Nevertheless there is a caveat: It is most regrettable the narrowmindness of not leaving it to end at 1:32 becoming a world pledge and instead limiting it to be just a pledge addressed to the boundaries within the USA. You must be reminded the term America is for the whole continent, as Americo Vespuccio -himself an Entrepreneur- conceived it. The fact USA population and its media identify the USA as "America", is something not accepted outside USA borders. The USA is the USA. America is the whole continent. To become an Entrepreneur is NOT a US characteristics. Actually the term is a "galicism", which means it is originally french language. If you knew that, be congruent with its inception. The term itself is incompatible with boundaries. I would expect the founders of this Entrepreneurial Movement having the criteria to widen the editor´s mindset of the last closing lines of this video. A great work deserves a more mature Weltanschaung. After 1:32 contradicts the real meaning of the no-borders term "Entrepreneurship" as a quality of the human spirit. Hence, edit it as "I will build a better World as an Entrepreneur" Having said that, I consider this site, as well as all the connected sites, to excell as one of the most extense and respectable platforms to propulse the awareness and practicality of the entrepreneurial example and communities. As visitor, I am indeed obliged for your sharing of such an inspiring and innovating contents. Congratulations.
