Sunday Biz Thought: Why are you in business?

Why are you in business?

Sunday Biz Thought:   When is the last time you have taken the time to think and reflect  on the question,  "Why are you in business"? 
 Of course many will jump and say the obvious answers ...
 be my own boss,
 make lots of money,
 have no one telling me what to do,.
 freedom
 I know I can do better than my old boss
 and etc, etc etc.

Few of us would openly admit  that we are in business for more than material things and a drive to success.  

 I would like to add that we are in business because we are able to create an environment that we can help build a neighborhood, provide jobs, hope and opportunity.

Yes, we have to make a living and provide for ourselves and family and our employees.  But we also need to have a mission that is more than the accumulation of material things... we need a purpose bigger than the drive to success.

As the old year winds down and the new year is about to begin I invite you to find your  inner purpose.  I believe you will enjoy being in business a great deal more when you serve a broader mission. 
 One of the good things about  what I do for my business is how many small business owners I know, who   have found a way to serve their  community, creator and help others while building a business. 

Not only do our wallets need fed...our souls need to be fed. In invite you to take some time to reflect on what you as a business owner can do to make lives better. 
Peace on this Sunday to you and yours.
