Blog Action Day

Today is blog action day.

Today thousands of bloggers will unite to discuss a single issue – poverty. We aim to raise awareness, initiate action and to shake the web!

After reading Inspire by Lance Secretan, I closeted myself in my bedroom and worked out my destiny, cause and calling – why I’m here on this earth. Here’s where I ended up:

To unite and empower small business owners into a community whose aim is to live the lives we want.

I believe that people’s freedom from persecution, hunger, fear comes from controling their own economic destiny. My prefered way to do that is to own a small business.

I believe that people have been doing business for millions of years and that there are a billion businesses on this planet right now. That means every problem has been encountered and solved many times over.

I believe that if we work together we will all thrive. I believe that running a business should allow people the freedom to look out for themselves, their families and their communities. My mission is to help as many small business owners as I can to achieve that freedom.

Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.

    Many thanks for diving into my book “Inspire” and coming up with such a powerful sense of your Destiny, Cause and Calling. Many thousands have done the same and you are modeling the need for all of us to develop this inner clarity. Lance Secretan
