Are You Building Something Worth Building?
Several years ago, someone asked me the question, “I see you working hard and growing your business, but are you building something worth building?”
In all honesty, my initial reaction was defensive in nature. My mind quickly conjured up – Of course, I am! However, before the words came out of my mouth, I considered the source of the question. He wasn’t being judgmental about the life I was creating for myself. In fact, he didn’t even want an answer. He merely wanted me to pause and reflect.
