What Will You Bring to the Table Today?
Manage episode 482277765 series 3655301
In this Epsiode of Brick by Brick, I explore the four levels of motivation that drive entrepreneurs: survival, status, freedom, and purpose. My journey began with resentment that fueled early growth but nearly destroyed everything until I realized my true mission is positively impacting others' lives.
• Business began from resentment which became a survival mechanism to support family and financial obligations
• Transitioned to status-seeking, pretending to be bigger than we were to impress others
• Many entrepreneurs get stuck in the freedom stage, battling guilt even when successful
• Purpose is the highest level—focusing on what I can bring to the table instead of what I can take
• True success comes when your positive mission influences others and elevates their thinking
• Money becomes a tool for impact rather than the ultimate goal
• Making amends quickly when wrong is crucial for personal and professional growth
If you're an entrepreneur struggling to find meaning beyond the daily grind, get clear on your purpose. The challenges we face can't just be about money—they must connect to something deeper.
