What’s the point?

I often feel ashamed that I spend every waking moment of my life building a business when there are so many people, organizations and causes that desperately could use my time. I also feel ashamed that I spend every extra penny that I make and put it back into my business, while thousands of charities lack crucial funding to really make a difference in the world.

This used to really bother me, until I was able to develop a plan for myself. The plan is the following. I will spend 3/4 of my time on this earth trying to be the best entrepreneur I can, while building up as much wealth as possible. Then I will spend the last 1/4 of my life, working to give away that wealth in the most efficient ways possible. Both challenging and rewarding ventures.

Why did I write this blog post? I heard somewhere that you are much more likely to achieve your goals if other people around you know what you have set for yourself. So there it is.
