If you listen to the stories of successful founders, you’ll often hear a common thread—they started with a desire to solve a real problem. Their motivation wasn’t just to make money, but to be helpful. History tells us that a fulfilling life comes from finding your purpose and using it to make a difference. Business becomes meaningful when it’s about serving others, not just chasing revenue. When you lead with purpose, success tends to follow.
