"In many ways, Dr. King was a practitioner of Entrepreneurial Thought & Action® (ET&A™). He didn’t wait until all the pieces were in place to plan the March on Washington, for example. But, he always started where he was, figured out where he wanted to go, reached out to others, and took action. And, what happened was miraculous." - Sadie Burton-Goss | @sburtongoss, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at @BabsonCollege Of all the many outstanding character traits we love about Dr. King, the one we admire the most is his entrepreneurial spirit. Move. Act. Even when you don't have everything figured out yet. Time is precious. What business moves will you be making this year? Come with us. atlantablackchambers.org #MLKDay #entrepreneurship
