Opportunity versus purpose. Which one wins?
Or is there a winner?
When you think about the business world so much of it was built on seeing an opportunity and going for it.
But is that actually the way that is best for you personally?
What about the purpose side of things?
Is it better to build or create a purpose driven business instead?
I know, that’s a lot of questions right there…
And I do my best to answer those questions in this podcast.
That’s because…
If it comes to happiness and success, there’s a chance one may be a better bet than the other.
The reality is our entire global society has been built based on taking advantage of great opportunities.
It’s given us and the entrepreneurs who created the businesses incredible technologies, and freedoms we never thought possible.
Taking advantage of the opportunities that popped up has literally shaped the way we live.
In fact, we are trained by other entrepreneurs to look for opportunities and to solve problems.
Which is great.
The interesting question is…
Is that actually the right approach?
Well, if we’re looking at all the great things it’s done for us, than yes.
But let’s consider “purpose” for a second.
Of those businesses that were created on jumping on certain opportunities, are the ones who created those businesses happier or better because of it?
Well, that’s the debate.
And in this episode, you’ll hear all about opportunity versus purpose debate.
I think you’ll even be surprised at some of what comes up.
So take a listen.
