A big part of finding the right resources is knowing what to look for and what to avoid. Matthew Lesko

In my opinion, my life experience and the environment I have grown up in are the most valuable resources that have developed my entrepreneurial spirit and have made me more Green.

I live in Moldova, the poorest European country. Living in this period of transition from communism to democracy I was taught to face all kind of changes, from political to cultural one.

I have learned to survive and to develop myself being too limited financially. I was taught by life to be patient and tolerant and to fight for my rightness in this corrupt system, even the country situation is too disappointing.
I lived in countryside and thanks to this fact I am more open to the idea of living green.

My father is beekeeper and our bees were our source of existence for more then 20 years. Is not this an example of sustainability?

Economy knowledge: I decided to study economy as I knew earlier that I want to run a business. I was never seeing myself working for another boss.

I have attended trainings that helped me theoretically a lot: Business for youth 2010, which was business training and my first business plan-contest. Then I participated at Social Innovation Camp where we were seeking for on-line solutions in order to solve offline youth problems.

Network: During these trainings I get to know a lot of young people, I would say the most active in my country. I have a lot to learn from them and maybe some of them will help me with my future business.

The last but not the least resource is being GEF on-line community member. I have learned there a lot of new things about sustainability; I have interacted with other members all around the world. Before entering this platform I was thinking only about business, now I replaced the word business with the expression green-business.

I am young. I have my life in my hands right now. I am ready to invest my time, my energy, my knowledge, my network; everything I have and I am going to get on the way in my dream, my wish, my plan, my green business.
