Why start up a company instead of going to work somewhere?

Why start up a company instead of going to work somewhere?

I want to become healthy enough that I don’t need external recognition and status for my self esteem. I would rather have my self esteem internal in my core being. I am not there yet – but I work on it nearly everyday. I don't consider myself a worthy human being. I don't yet I feel I deserve happiness or success. I am working hard on being equal and treating everyone equally - for it is by equality that we can all live in peace.

I also am not starting Lasalletech with my son to satisfy my former workaholism needs. Lasalletech is a vehicle or way to continue to work on transforming and growing as a human being. I want to be able to work on other things (building, music, and art) and travel and write. Sonia and I would like to live on our paid for property in the woods up north here as an example of self sufficiency and energy independence. Living in the now not the past or the future.

Let me take the another perspective – The spiritual side of entrepreneurship.
Last night I was talking to Sonia and I told her that it seemed to me the best and happiest entrepreneurs do so with an internal integrity – staying focused on their business – not striving for external recognition – always striving to do the best to take care of their clients from a position of humility not ego - focusing on the quality of the work. Each moment is spent providing the highest quality of service possible. These people seem to be at peace in life and in business and as a result of their humility have gained my respect. I would like to achieve this in this lifetime if possible.

I am now thinking that entrepreneurship can be a very spiritual and meaningful endeavor as can any activity.

I think the universe has told me, despite my trying to control outcomes and my fighting to stay at J&J, that I am supposed to be starting up Lasalletech with Jacob as the next chapter of my life. And if this is what I am supposed to do – I want to do it by being present and with the right intentions.

I don’t have needs in the business world – my goals are inside my own head and heart – to live in peace and in the present.

Lasalletech and working with Jacob can help me toward this goal.

Peace
