Entrepreneurship born from Superabundance, not Need/Necessity

(Listen to as PODCAST)

“Necessity is the mother of invention.” Is this statement really true?

What if the opposite were true:

Abundance is the mother of invention.

Let me explore these ideas with you.

Are you creating this thing because you need money, or because you don’t need money?

One of my best epiphanies in life when living in Vietnam:

Wow, I will never starve to death.

And furthermore:

I am earning money quicker than I can spend it.

Thus, I will never become broke. Thus, I can take any entrepreneurial risks in my life!

Share your dopeness

You are dope. You are great. Whatever you create has much merit, and can also be of use to others!

So why not share it? Why not share more of yourself and your own artistic creations?

Create things from an entrepreneurial perspective– born out of JOY and thanksgiving. Your creations are a reflection of your gratitude of life and hyper-abundance, and you desire to help other humans with your creations (creative altruism).


Become a giver

Los Angeles, 2019 #ricohgriii

To become happier in life, give more. Give out of a sense of super-hyper abundance. You are creatively rich enough!
