Can You Make A Living And A Difference?
Is your business about just making a living or is it about making a difference?
It’s an interesting thing to contemplate. Am I just running my business to make money or am I running my business to make other people’s lives better.
It’s a question, actually, I ask myself often. As a business advisor and web developer, I have plenty of opportunity to make money. That’s never an issue. Prospective clients contact me constantly asking how I can help them.
And there lies the purpose – helping the coaches, consultants, therapists, healers and other small business owners who contact me. And that’s, truly, why I’m in business – not just to make money, but to make a difference in the lives and businesses of other small business professionals.

It’s always great to do business as a way to help others, but there needs to be a way to make sure it’s for money too or it’ll be come a business that isn’t profitable enough to keep running.

My aunt always told me this… You be more successful on your business when you help other people too while you earning at the same time and I do believe on this.

One needs to make sure they go the extra length when establishing new connections in business, but be wary of not collecting on your hard work.
