Stick to Your Purpose

When you first started you had a purpose. Time has passed and day by day you give in to requests, suggestions and ideas. Stop what you are doing and stick to your purpose.

Think back to when you started. What problem were you trying to solve? What made you start? Why are you doing this? Listen to what others have to say but only take into account what helps you grow while keeping the same purpose.

If on the other hand you have realised that your purpose has changed and you don't stand for what you used to anymore, then rebrand. Trying to change courses along the way is a very difficult task and is almost always unsuccessful.

So what is it going to be? Are you sticking to your purpose or rebranding?

Stop Trying to Make Money

When most of us start up we have one goal, to make money. We want to have the freedom to be the ones to make the choices and to keep all the money that we are making. The problem is that a lot of the times people get confused and think that making money is their purpose.

If this happens everything goes downhill and leads to inevitable failure. We need to change our attitude and see money as the result of our purpose and efforts. We need to focus on making things better and helping others. Once you "forget" about money and focus on helping, you will be able to take greater risks and innovate. This will eventually lead to making money, if you are doing the right thing.

I know it's difficult but try to put making money in second place. Focus on what you really want to do, what you want your purpose to be and how you can help others. Slowly you will start feeling better about what you do and also make more money.
