![It’s Not the Money, Honey: The Real Purpose of Business]()

[tweetmeme] I don’t care what the Donald says. The point of business is not to make money. The purpose of business is to expand who you are through what you do. And use profit to achieve a more noble end (and yes, self-development is a noble end).
I believe this because the worth of any business resides largely in it’s human capital (the value of its people) and in it’s intellectual property (the value of the ideas generated by it’s people). People make a business great, and they do so by being provided a vehicle to express who they are, and to create.
It’s this expression of our inner Self that is the real purpose of business, and our ticket to wealth.

It’s not worth the chance.
Go ahead and believe that. Please, continue to agree to your belief that doing what you love will never bring you the wealth you desire.
Please, go on upholding the premise that creating a career from your passion, and fulfilling your physical, mental and spiritual needs, isn’t a recipe for financial gain.
Now, stop and think about this rationally.
Is it logical to believe that you can make more money doing something you tolerate, rather than do something you are gifted at? Wouldn’t a person have far greater long-term earning potential if they used their talents, and expressed their beliefs about life in their work, rather than say, got some job with a steady paycheck?

[tweetmeme] I’m in debt. And I have been for most of my adult life.
I see debt as means to an end.
There was a brief point in my life when I managed to pay off my first round of debt – this one due to attending university and post-graduate school. But my next round of debt started soon after, when I decided to leave my job and travel for half a year with my now-husband-then-boyfriend. And, subsequently, start a business with the money.

Prepare Your ‘Being’
1. Realize you have a choice.
In everything you do. You are a hero in your own journey.
Be the fucking hero you are. Choose to serve your higher nature.
2. Embrace change and uncertainty.
Or don’t.
Either way it’ll be happening around you and through you. Might as well learn to work with it.

“What if we looked at the world as a design project – how might we begin to make it better?” – Bruce Mau
Design is not just aesthetics. It doesn’t exist for business, culture, or nature; business, culture, and nature exist because of it.
It’s not making stuff pretty. Design is solving problems and changing lives. Design is applying your creativity strategically. And because of new technological advances, our increased sharing of knowledge, and our ingenuity, it’s now possible to design everything.
And when I say everything, I mean it. I’m not just talking about your stuff, I’m not just talking about matter. I’m talking about You, your existence, I’m talking about designing meaning.
