Vocation is where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep need. Frederich BuechnerSince each of us has unique desires, values and strengths it follows that each of us also has a unique business in us that we could build better than anyone else. Discovering that business and then developing the confidence to launch it, is what stops most folks from enjoying the fulfillment, freedom and prosperity that was meant to be theirs. The absolute sweet spot of your business is where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep need.
