Entrepreneur

Someone shared this idea with me recently: "If you start a business just to get rich or collect money, then you will never be successful."

Then he said, "You might make a lot of money at first, but there is a good chance you will lose it all. There is a spiritual side to prosperity and you can't be greedy and prosper at the same time."

Ask yourself why do you want to start a business? If your deep down desire include things like this:

1. to create jobs
2. to help other people provide for their families
3. to give someone a sense of self worth
4. to give to charity
5. to help people, especially the needy
6. to inspire and motivate people in a positive way
7. to leave a legacy to future generations

then you have a better chance of being successful for many years to come.
