Hi Mentors and Friends,

This has been a hard one for me ever since I started on the Entrepreneurial journey - How do I get from being money-driven to being value-driven?

I mean, we all want to make money to create wealth, which is why everyone has started on this journey.

You get to have a strong drive to create wealth, in order to choose this really rough path.

I know that you need to create value for the market, and the market will reward you with money.

My question is - no matter how value-driven you are, you are still money-driven to a degree. Right?

In other words, you become value-driven after you are money-driven, right?

You become value-driven because you want to create wealth, right?

I don't know - I find myself trapped in this paradox or dilemma after I started my Entrepreneurial pursuit.

Any thoughts, inputs, or advice is welcomed.

Thank you, my Friends!

Rex
