The Real Mission: Building a Business Around Your Life
We start businesses to gain freedom, but it's easy to fall into a trap where your business controls you, not the other way around. If you find yourself constantly aiming for the money without considering how it fits your life, you're essentially working a job—just for yourself.
The whole point of entrepreneurship is to design a business that supports the life you want to live. This means having the flexibility to take time off for holidays, be there for your kids, or simply enjoy a Friday off. The goal is to build something you genuinely enjoy, something that gives you the energy to keep going.
To stay on track, a regular check-in is essential. Schedule a business and life audit—it could be weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Realign with your original dream. The money will follow when you are passionate about what you're doing. Choose what success looks like for you, and the financial rewards will come as a natural result of the lifestyle you've created.
