What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up

This question is so loaded. My dad (who is 71) still jokes that he doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up. My friend messaged me the other day and said she finally knows (she’s in her thirties). And so it got me thinking. What do I want to be when I grow up?

The answer to this question five years ago was to be a successful business owner who lived comfortably and had happy employees. Is that still true? It’s certainly not untrue. Is that enough? Or do I want more? I think I want more. That’s why I’m here right? That’s why I write and post videos and do all of those things. OK so I want more.

What though? Like I said, my friend’s answer to her own question got me thinking, and I think I figured it out. Or at least what direction I want to go in. So here it is, in black and white.

I want to help people who think they can’t start a business, start a business.

It’s a simple idea but I sure have some planning to do. I’m really not sure how this looks. I could teach. I could start a non profit. I could start a different for profit. I could do all three? Something I haven’t thought of? Now that I have an idea though, I can start brainstorming. How exciting!
