“Maybe this bar isn’t meant to be my purpose—but maybe it’s meant to give me time to find it. Maybe it’s not the thing I build, but the thing that buys me the space to build something later, when I have more freedom.”
I’m so often guilty of wanting to rush to the “what’s next?” Instead of pausing to just be present in the in-between spaces. Thank you for this thought-provoking post.
I get the existential angst, but am still intrigued by what you’re up to in evaluating businesses with the aim of buying and running one. How does one up skill to be successful at that?
Great question - I guess it depends a bit on your starting point but what I like about buying an existing business is that you are buying an already existing system for making money so a lot of the guess work is already done!
