Mindset Monday: Purpose-Driven Mindset
To quote Mark Twain, “There are two important days in your life, the day you were born and the day you find out why.” As entrepreneurs, purpose answers that “why” and is what gives our lives direction and meaning. Passion is what fuels our insane dreams and allows us to believe we can make a dent in the universe.

From the world:
“Don’t just ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. What the world needs is people who have come alive.”
- Howard Thurman (Author) [Tweet]

A thought exercise for the week:
One way to figure out your Purpose is to think about which groups (people or causes) you care about deeply and want to help. For me, it’s about empowering and supporting entrepreneurs and leaders.
Ask yourself: Who do you want to be a hero to? Where do you want to leave a legacy? [Tweet]
