Is the pursuit of the American Dream over?
No, but here's what has changed.
This has been the American Dream for so many. The world desires the American Dream.
- land a great career
+ marry the love of your life
+ buy your dream home
What's changed is the notion that working for someone else, or lifetime employment, is desired or safe.
Lifetime employment is like being a renter for life.
The new American Dream is working for yourself.
In fact 70% of the workforce desires purpose, to do something that matters, and to work for themselves.
>> Here is the path.
#1 - Faith
Develop the radical faith to take on the impossible, God-sized dreams. Meet for an hour with God every morning. Have Bible, take notes.
#2 - Purpose
Whatever you do, ask God to reveal your purpose. I'm talking about your specific calling/assignment for your startup venture. Meet for an hour with God every morning. Have Bible, take notes.
#3 - Full-Stack Playbook
Dedicate yourself to becoming a full-stack entrepreneur (frontend to backend expert in marketing and sales). Meet for an hour with God every morning. Have Bible, take notes.
#4 - Investor Readiness
Become what startup investors are looking for. Even if you bootstrap, reach this level of preparedness. Meet for an hour with God every morning. Have Bible, take notes.
Now figure out the common denominator in these four steps of preparedness.
Need help starting? Meet for an hour with God every morning. Have Bible, take notes.
