Need and want both drive me. Because the need is something I have to have in order to keep learning in order to be better and succeed in my daily life so I can try to achieve an important goal. The want on the other hand for me is that whatever I do I want it to be enjoyable or preferable, so I don’t end up disliking it.
I feel like you need both in order to have that motivation and creativity. I think the question lots of people have, is what I’m trying to do or get started, is it what I’m meant to do? So how does someone know if the business they are trying to start is what they are supposed to be doing?

Thank you for these clarifications. They will make a difference for me.

Great perspective! Identify our weaknesses and then strengthen them!

Texas says hello back to you! Hope you are doing well!

I am grateful for the daily inspiration, Larry.
Thank you.

Excellent advice. Hard to do but worth aspiring to.

So true!

I love the Blueprint album and I am also grateful for Shannon Jolly!

I 100% concur! We can only change ourselves and influence others.

Life is a series of negotiations and problem solving, whether you realize it or not.

You know LJ, I have had this on my mind for the next generation lately. Imagine if a young person were to learn from you at The School of Entrepreneurship, then call around to local home improvement and home service businesses to apply for a junior manager role that fits their liking. The makes a deal with them to help solve problems by implementing what they are learning. And once they graduate a year later for department management or two years later for general management they could get their certificate from us and a raise in earning and opportunity to move up the chain. Wouldn’t that be an investment worth making versus college or trade school? I know there are tons of businesses and young people who could benefit from such a path and direction. They may even find their calling a little earlier in life. I could go on about all of the cool benefits of doing this, the perks of such roles in business, and how parents could actually get behind their young, inspired, ambitious, and gifted future leader(s) and become their biggest fans through the journey. I could go on and will go on as we launch the SOE Trades Leadership Program precisely with this in mind. “Enriching the lives of tomorrow’s leaders today, together.” We read and hear to often these days “I don’t know what to do with my life” from young people. To me this is solved. They just don’t know it’s an option, yet. But we are dead set on changing that, for good! Thank you for sharing this message. And parents, get your kids enrolled today and build a game plan with them. We can help. SOEBlueCollar.org is where you can learn how. More great things happening to improve contracting for good coming down the line. This is exciting!

I am extremely thankful for Josh English!
