It's been a while since I've checked in. I've been busy getting my a$$ stomped by the unforgiving boot of entrepreneurship.

Anyway, I came across this and thought it may resonate for some people. There seems to be two overarching camps on entrepreneurship: those who think it should be passion-driven, and those who think it should be need-driven. The model I've linked here accounts for both.

The Japanese have a word for "reason for being" and they call it "ikigai". There is also an accompanying model at this link:

I figured this could serve as a useful reference for folks as they contemplate their identity as an entrepreneur (which is something I personally believe to be vital to success, especially when things occasionally fall apart).

- Cheers
