Entrepreneurship is about bringing ideas to life, solving problems and creating something meaningful from scratch. It is a journey that requires passion, flexibility, and a willingness to learn and adapt. At Bridging the Gap Interpreting (BTGI), our journey has been shaped by these values, from our founding to today, as we continue to help communities connect through language.
The Entrepreneur’s Journey: Passion, Purpose, and Perseverance
Starting a business is about committing to a vision that guides every step. Entrepreneurs face many challenges along the way, but it is the drive to make a positive impact that keeps us going. Whether it's meeting a specific need in society, launching an innovative product or creating a service to help others, entrepreneurship is about turning passion into purpose and working to make a difference.
Our Core Values:
The Foundation of Success at BTGI
We believe that the entrepreneurial journey is more than a path to business growth—it’s about making a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve.
At Bridging the Gap Interpreting, our entrepreneurial journey is shaped by four core values:
FAIRNESS
Treating our clients, partners and the communities we serve with respect and integrity. Fairness builds trust, the foundation of lasting business relationships.
EMPATHY
Understanding the needs of others, especially in personal areas such as language interpreting. Empathy builds a connection with our clients and creates a culture of inclusion and understanding.
ENRICHMENT
We are committed to making a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve and seek to enrich lives by helping communities, employees and clients connect and grow through shared language and understanding.
DRIVE
Entrepreneurship requires perseverance and the drive to continuously improve, develop and stay true to our mission. We face challenges, seek innovative solutions and set new standards in our field.
These values aren’t just business principles; they are our guideposts for achieving purposeful, mission-aligned growth.
Celebrating Entrepreneurship at GEWKC
Events like Global Entrepreneurship Week Kansas City (GEWKC) are vital because they bring together entrepreneurs and innovators who share this passion for progress and connection.
This year, our founder, Nabil Cherif, will participate in GEWKC on November 20th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Stop by his booth to hear about his journey as an immigrant entrepreneur, learn more about BTGI, or get a signed copy of his book, I Wasn’t Born to Go Home and Neither Were You. Nabil’s story is a powerful reminder of how persistence and optimism can transform dreams into reality.
