Today I flew into Zurich, had a business meeting in one of the airport conference rooms…and then flew back to Geneva. The whole process took about 6 hours and I ate about 6 rounds of Swiss Air chocolate (what they give you on these short hops). I was feeling a bit guilty about not taking the train, but I had no choice on this one.

ANYWAY, it seems that social entrepreneurs are quite a happy bunch at the moment. In a survey of the top social entrepreneurs from around the globe in Switzerland (sponsored by the Schwab foundation) social entrepreneurs appeared to be very satisfied folks:

95% of social entrepreneurs find their work meaningful

• 95% also are mostly stimulated and excited by their work.

• 80% report to being mostly healthy and free of illness.

• 70% report having a good sex life

• 80% avoid using drugs or alcohol to de-stress

Watch-out corp. world, these results are a LOT higher than those typically seen in corp. surveys, especially the bit about finding work meaningful.
