Author Quotes
Some people start a business or become entrepreneurs because they have a mission or a cause they are passionate about, many times inspired by a personal story that drives them. Others feel called to fulfill a life purpose or leave a legacy that extends beyond their mortality.
When we lean into and share our gifts and talents, we can’t help but impact our clients. Work is no longer an obligation and becomes a privilege to share, help, and serve others. When we lead from a place of service, we feel fulfilled and are grateful to do meaningful work that we love, and everyone wins.
What you will discover in this book is that an impact entrepreneur is not about a specific type of work or occupation. It’s about how each of these entrepreneurs shows up in the world and how they feel when they are doing their best work and creating a difference in people’s lives.
