We are taught, from a young age, to exist in the middle. Everything in moderation. Don’t be a tall poppy, nor a shrinking violet. Good enough is good enough. The middle way, middle-class, mid-tier. That’s where we want to be. Not so big that we get cut down, and not so small that we can’t […]The post The Unfortunate Middle appeared first on Good LifeProject. Hosted on Acast.

  • So one of the things that we've learned over the years is that a pretty sizable percentage of our listenership, our community, are what I would call conscious business founders, people who are creating something, whether it's a social venture, nonprofit, or for profit, but with a real mission built around it, the desire to serve something or someone bigger.

  • One of the other things that I've learned along the way, being an entrepreneur myself and also working with and supporting hundreds of others over a period of years, is that it can be a profoundly lonely pursuit.

  • It's the type of thing where even if you have a team and a substantial company, very often you need somebody else to turn to, people who are sort of parallel playing along the way with you.

  • So we've created something for you.

  • It's called the 108, and it's a conscious business collective of similar founders, capped at no more than 108 people, where we're all in.

  • It's a safe, protected space, a place where you can get true, confidential, uplifting advice, wisdom, input, and no longer travel this road alone.

  • And truth is, this actually isn't just the way we earn our livings.

  • This is the way we live our lives.

  • We're taught pretty much from a young age to exist in the middle.

  • Everything in moderation.

  • Don't be a tall poppy nor a shrinking violet.

  • Good enough is good enough.

  • The middle way, middle class, middle tier, that's where we want to be.
