“We romanticize entrepreneurship so much that people don’t do the work. It’s not just a dream, not just a goal; it’s a lot of hard work. A lot of people are wantrepreneurs, not entrepreneurs.” – Mark Cuban

There are a lot of wantrepreneurs out there. People who have “great ideas” and like spending their time on fake business-y things like designing business cards and logos (I am guilty of this) before they even know what their business is going to be, and putting in the work to get it off the ground. I am convicted by these words even as I write them because unless we (I) are willing to hunt down our dreams by pursuing challenges and prioritizing hard work, we will never take our passion and turn it into our purpose.

“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.”
― Pablo Picasso

Everyone has the desire to do something big – maybe a dream to be realized. Everyone also has the same 24-hour day and yet one of the biggest excuses people make is that they don’t have the time to pursue their dream and still keep their day job. Dreams require hard work. They require a dedication of our “3 Ts,” our time, talent, and maybe even our treasure. We are happy to use the “3 Ts” on things that have no positive or lasting effect in our own life or in the lives of others, but if we want to make our dreams a reality, we first need to get our priorities in order. First things first, WE NEED TO GET STARTED!

011: Finding Your Purpose Means Living With Purpose

00:00 / 24:12

We often romanticize what it means to “Find Your Purpose” as though it were something you can only hope to achieve in the unseen future. Unfortunately having this perspective often paralyzes us and leads us into hopelessness. It is better that we begin living with purpose in the everyday rather than daydream about some mystical “purpose” we’ve yet to grasp. Live deliberately, live intentionally. It is when we identify the purpose of the mundane that we are better equipped when we finally realize our dream. The long road to purpose and meaning can only be trod with purposeful steps.
