Become a Founder
The thoughts, skills, and desires of a founder are different from those of a worker. A worker has specific skills that help an organization fulfill its vision. Whereas, a founder creates the vision as well as the organization that fulfills the vision. The best thing to have is a combination of worker and founder skills.
Founders develop skills that enable them to envision, plan, decide, communicate, and build. They develop a mindset that fosters creativity, focuses on solutions, looks for opportunities, seeks new ideas, and endures difficult times. Founders take ownership of their vision and the outcomes of all their decisions. They commit to the journey of making their vision a reality.
The dream builder approach is to become the founder of your dreams. We can think of our dream as a business. We can apply business practices. We can gain skills in visioning, planning, and execution. We can learn marketing, build connections, gain feedback, and develop products. We can grow our dreams with the vision of a founder and the skills of an entrepreneur and reap the benefits of personal growth. We intentionally choose how and where we want to grow. This is growth your way. You are in full control.
Most successful business people say their work is not about the money, it’s about the satisfaction of serving others and the growth they experience that enriches their lives. And here is the key: Our dreams can be the vehicle that brings us the same rewards.
We might have a full-time job. But our dreams are our business.
To your success!
