Week 5: Why I want to be an entrepreneur

It is interesting that in “A Hero’s Journey” talk, he says that people over the age of 60 will only ask three questions: have I contributed something meaningful, am I a good person and who did I live and who loved me? If those are the most important questions, then why do I feel a drive to be an entrepreneur, make tons of money and build things for the benefits of others? As we continue to listen to “A Hero’s Journey” we find out that being an entrepreneur is not about us but about us, the entrepreneur paradox. Being an entrepreneur is the ability to give to others, give them the time and resources we have and have obtained to help them on their lives, while at the same time having to do our work, we are the ones that continue each day, step by step to accomplish our dreams.

            Another impactful statement was “a calling must serve others.” Yes I do want lots of money from my entrepreneurial accomplishments, but I want lots of money so I can serve others. I dream of one day where I can donate each year over $50,000 to families that are infertile and having infertile issues, because we are going through the same thing. I want more time and to get more time is to become an entrepreneur, more freedom equals more giving.
