Quote of the day: “To find your mission in life is to discover the intersection between your heart’s deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger.” -Frederick Buechner The quote above came from class materials for an online class I’m taking, The Business Soul Sessions by Kelly Rae Roberts and Beth Nicholls.  I have to admit that I’m finding the class challenging.  The focus this week is in dreaming about the why’s of what you do in your business and eventually developing a business mission statement.  The premise is that starting your business from the “Why” question creates a more aligned, sustainable way to Read more…
