I recently read mashlow theory and It feels like how MJ approach entrepeneurship has the power to fulfill steem needs AM I right?

I don't know but I just read that the jobs with the highest satisfaction involve helping people. As entrepreneurs we're in the business of helping people while getting paid very well for it. And yes, it is incredibly satisfying!

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs says people fulfill their lower needs first, and then worry about the higher needs after.

Running a successful business will check all those boxes. From the bottom to the top:
  • Putting food on the table? Yes
  • Ensuring a stable future and personal safety? Yes
  • Sense of belonging and purpose? Yes - you are building and helping communities
  • Freedom? HELL YES
  • Self-actualization? Yes. What can be more fulfilling than building your own empire?

Business doesn't automatically improve health and relationships, so you would have to have separate goals for those areas of life. But other than that, starting a business is one of the best things you can do in life, in the modern society.

For me, it's fulfilling to help people put food on their table and work their way their way up that hierarchy.

My job as a dad is to help my sons work their way up that hierarchy too.

Empire building isn't fulfilling at all for me.

13 years later I still get a buzz when we fire up a Google Ads campaign and the client gets their first phone call and sale.

So I guess you're building a people-helping empire? :innocent: :halo:

I think that entrepreneurship is nothing less than an art form. It's the best feeling in the world when you see with your own eyes that something that was first created in your mind now materializes into reality.

And that could also create a feeling of competence I think

What can be more fulfilling than building your own empire?

My priorities in life, in this specific order are:
  1. My family
  2. My health
  3. My business
#3 is there to support the first 2 ;). To me, there are lots of things that are more fulfilling than building my own empire. Simple things like teaching my kiddo how to do something new and then seeing it happen in front of my eyes.

Business is a tool for me, a very good and handy tool. Yes, building a business is fulfilling. I love it, but even more fulfilment comes from other areas of my life.

Prior to 2020, they used to spell it as Maslow’s (capital M, no “h” in the middle and all), but I know the world changed since, ”Cancel Culture” cancelled spell checker on the internet :rolleyes:
