What Is Even The Point Of Starting A Business

by in An Entrepreneurs Stories

Hey guy’s and gal’s

I felt like I wanted to share something with you that I feel pretty strongly about.  It’s just as the title of this post says, “What is even the point of starting a business”?

I know the main reason that people give for starting a business.  They want to be wealthy or they wanted control over their time.  But that to me is not what the essence of what a business really is.

To me, a business ends up having it’s own life energy.  Now I know that this sound a bit weird but if you have been around any business that is really moving and shaking, it has it’s own energy.  At this point, it is not about the owner or the shareholders, it’s about what “the business” wants and needs.

Now this energy that the business ends up having has nothing to do with making the creator rich.  That is just crap.

What it has to do with is the purpose for that business, the reason that the business was really started to begin with.  See every business is doing it’s best to improve the lives of other people.  Let me say that again,

EVERY BUSINESS ON THIS PLANET IS DOING IT’S BEST TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF OTHER PEOPLE

Now that to me is the real reason that someone starts a business.  They feel that they can make a difference in the world and they take action to make this happen.  That is what has happened with every single successful business out there.

Think about it for a minute, really, stop and think about it.  What is the purpose of companies like Facebook, Google, Apple, Sprint, Rich Dad, British Airways, and countless more.  All of these companies are out there trying to make other people lives better.

It just so happens that profits are a by product of creating success so that is what people see but it’s not the root.  The root is that some person, some entrepreneur, saw a way that they could improve or make someones life easier and that is why the business was created.

For myself, I know exactly why I’m building my business.  I know why there is a need for what I do.  I know this because I lived it for myself.  I hated trying to figure out how to build a business successfully and I want to make it way easier for other people.  It just sucks going through all that crap when there are far easier ways of doing things.

So as you go out there to your day to day activities of building your own particular business, make sure you know what value your business is bring to the world.  If the only purpose of the business is to line your pocket book, then you need to stop right now because the world is too smart for that and people will see right through you.

Take the time and really find out why you are building your business.  What is the real purpose of your business?  Because the sooner that you figure this out, the sooner your business will start to create an energy of it’s own.

Talk to you later

    I agree with you when you say “EVERY BUSINESS ON THIS PLANET IS DOING IT’S BEST TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF OTHER PEOPLE”. When we open business we do not only open an opportunity for us to gain for ourselves, we must also keep in mind that we are also opening opportunities for other people who will be working with us.
