Working With Purpose

[HCBailly]

I had an interesting discussion with a new acquaintance, who sounded like a positive thinker, about growing my carpet cleaning business. He suggested that perhaps part of the reason why I’m dissatisfied with my business is not so much because it’s not my life’s passion, but that I’m not engaging in daily activities that fill me with purpose. In theory, by doing so, not only will I feel better about what I’m doing, but I would also get better results. We went on to talk about other things, so I thought I would bring up the question here:

What can I do every day that builds my business and fills me with purpose?

Another way of looking at it might be, “How can I change my mindset, so that what I do fills me with purpose?†I’m not looking for specific answers, but more of a direction to find my own way.

Maybe it’s part of my employee mentality, but I strongly associate “purpose†with “resultsâ€. If I’m not getting results, then what I’m doing is just a waste of time. The only purpose served by that would be to eliminate everything what doesn’t work until you find what does work. To be honest, that sounds like a slow lane mentality towards building wealth to me.

What do you think?

Thanks for the discussion.
