Personal Ad: Lonely Business Owner Seeks Other Lonely Business Owners for Friendship

BIG NEWS! I just found out that I am a “solopreneur.”  Apparently the trend now is to take an adjective that describes what you do/who you are and mash it up with the word ENTREPRENEUR. Example: Solopreneur, Mompreneur, Wantrepreneur. It is what it is, I guess.  I read an article this morning on Entrepreneur.com titled The Silent …

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

We were not created to live in isolation. We need others around us in order to thrive and to enjoy life to its fullest. The trouble is that entrepreneurs can sometimes be loners. Since we think differently than most, we tend to not “play well with others.” It is integral to our growth that we not only find people who are like-minded, but that our main motivation in life be to put other’s ahead of ourselves. God said, “It is not good for man to be alone,” so He created us to be in relationship. This is why the only way we can find our true meaning and purpose in life is when we are in community with one another.

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
― Mark Twain

In this quick little episode (recorded on my birthday), I take a look at this profound quote and meditate on how another year passed means another chance to put the life lessons learned into practice. At this time last year, I was about to jump into the unknown with both feet. And I am so glad that I did. This last year brought me face to face with some of the biggest challenges of my life, but it also brought out both flaws in my character that needed to be addressed, and courage that I didn’t know I possessed. Ask yourself today, why was I born? If you don’t know the answer to that question, then stop chasing every other vain pursuit in life (money, relationships, fame, etc.) and start the hunt of your life. The hunt for purpose.
