Why Are You Doing Business?
This is the question that seems simple yet not many people can answer straight away.
When I asked this to myself, I keep wondering and pondering for the next 4 weeks.
I finally came to a conclusion: I don’t really like doing business – I do business to buy my family and I a lifestyle (not quite there yet, but we’re definitely shooting for the moon :D). I love starting up or buying business, but starting up or buying is not my life. It’s indeed my passion, but it’s not the goal I want to reach.
What I really aim in life? I want to support my family well. I want to be a venture capitalist. I want to start charity projects. I want to travel the world, anywhere, anytime, without worrying about my business or bringing my business with me. I want to own a lake view lodge to live in. I want to live wherever we like. I want to achieve all my personal goals. So many things I want in life that is beyond doing business.
Here’s my game plan: When I buy business, I buy cash flow. Pretty much like Warren Buffett did. When I buy cash flow, I buy ‘safety investment’ – precious metals, precious stones and the likes. When my cash doesn’t work hard enough, I flip the business to buy a bigger business with better cash flow. I will do this over and over again until I reach my goal.
I’ve tell you my reason. What about you? Why are you doing business?
