# [Article of Interest - "Overcoming The Psychology Of The Social Entrepreneur" by Genny Ghanimeh](https://blog.thebusinessofgood.org/articles/article-of-interest-overcoming-the-psychology-of-the-social-entrepreneur-by-genny-ghanimeh)

Editor's Note: *The author concludes the article with the assertion that "the psychological toughness needed to be a social entrepreneur can’t be taught. It has to be lived. Only individuals who are deeply passionate about the challenge they aim to solve combined with a personal connection to the issue itself will persevere and truly make an impact on the world." Truth. *
