Patrick Doles and his wife Aiza are very involved in social entrepreneurship in Eastern Samar and actively involved in giving money to local charities, as well as, being the founders of the ‘Tools for Schools’ project; dispersing school supplies to local children.
In Patrick’s opinion, the number one issue in the Philippines and Eastern Samar, more specifically, is how to instill confidence into the Philippine population in the more rural areas and to make it more entrepreneurial. He is adamant about 3 things in Entrepreneurial work.
- Always have a unique product.
- Location, location, location. Finding that great location is key.
- Always recruit the best talent and treat them well.
Patrick and Aiza Doles goals are to build on their budding and successful EarthCoco Company based in East Samar, Philippines and Santa Monica, California, USA. He also wants to increase and maximize personal growth for himself, his wife, their family and his associates.
Another goal is to bring private equity to Eastern Samar, Philippines where there is no local industry.
