How I Found My “Purpose” In Business (VERY Different) TPIP:0039

Like molding a piece of iron into something useful…

…it took work.

Effort.

Sweat.

The minute I took responsibility for my trajectory in life and knew what to make my FOCUS, I no longer felt alone or without purpose again.

Did I have it all figured out at first?

No.

Looking back on HOW I’ve come to the point I am, I didn’t have a lot of shit figured out all.

I didn’t need to.

I just knew I could apply myself to solving a set of problems for a very specific type of person…

…who I later was able to narrow down through trial and error.

And I made it my mission to help them.

I observed them.

I listened to them.

I made an offer to help them.

I took their money.

I solved their problem.

Rince and repeat today.

For someone who doesn’t know his father…

…wasn’t raised in a traditional family environment, only has a high school education, found himself living on the street, and has almost died from two drug overdoses…

…I haven’t done too bad.

But I was lost at one point.

Looking back, there were 3 words that come to mind.

Responsibility.

Empathy.

Love.

They’ve turned my life around.

They shaped my perspective of myself and of why I am here.

Today I don’t believe in excuses.

Only contribution and growth.

The only thoughts that are powerful are the ones I choose to believe.

I choose…

…To serve.

To Love.

To live.

Where ever you are…

…there’s always a reason to thrive.

A purpose to live for.
