Jean-Loïck Michaux
Purpose Driven Entrepreneur
"Above all, you want to create something you're proud of. This has always been my philosophy of business. I can honestly say that I have never gone into any business purely to make money. If that is the sole motive, then I believe you are better off not doing it."
Sir Richard Branson

"I used to think that life had a plan for me. Until I realised that life had to be planned by me." I found that sentence written on one of this house in the township of Cape Town. My advice: Step back and re-read it. Realise that you can do pretty much anything with a plan, determination and persistence.
That day helping, giving food and playing soccer with children overthere gave me the want to come back there with bigger project, to try to help them in a sustainable way. Since, I have been looking for opportunities in social entrepreneurship. In the near future, I definitely want to combine again my passions for humanity and soccer.

UBI Team at Cup Der Privaten
International soccer tournament and networking event between business schools
Berlin, Germany
Soccer has always been a passion, I wanted to share that passion with my fellow students at the United Business Institutes. This is how I started to organize the venue at Cup Der Privaten of the Official UBI Team with their weekly trainings, official equipment, supporters, travel and accomodations. It was a real success, we won the trophy of the best new comers out of 64 teams, atmosphere, party and networking were in the place. You can find the presentation I created for the faculty members here and the pictures of the event here.
