The Difference Between Roles and Purpose Part 2: ESPN’s 30 for 30 Broke
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability. ~Henry Ford It’s been a little bit since I talked about roles and purpose but after seeing ESPN’s latest 30 for 30 series “Broke” I knew it was time to cover this topic again. Broke is essentially about athletes who have made a considerable amount of money and then lost it all through bad investments, bad spending habits, a poor mentality and trying to take care of too many people.

Teamwork Is A Way Of Life
“In Africa there is a concept known as Ubuntu – the profound sense that we are human only through the humanity of others; that if we are to accomplish anything in this world it will in equal measure be due to the work and achievements of others.” — Nelson Mandela I Am Because We Are As your business grows and you start achieving a certain level of success, at some point, you are going to have a team that helps you keep your business moving forward.

Whether you are a business owner or an employee of a company, you

How do you eliminate more of the things that you just do and do more of the things that you love to do? It’s time to embrace your passion. Here’s how you can start. If you tell certain people that they can do what they love to do and still get paid doing it, those people would tell you that you are crazy or dumb or both.

Why being in business for yourself wins
We have talked a lot over the past few days about whether you should be in business for yourself or should you own your own business.
