A short monologue by Peter Sage arguing that entrepreneurs conflate self-worth with net worth when they treat business solely as a means to make money. He recommends reframing business as a vehicle to express passion and add value to clients, families, companies, and the world, so revenue becomes a byproduct of giving one’s gift.

If your focus is business is a vehicle to make money, you are going to be tied to the result of the business and your self worth. And if your self worth and your net worth are tied together, you will always be in scarcity at a certain level of the mountain, which means you're going to fall down the other side of it. Now, when you realize that your self worth and net worth are not tied right, when you realize that business is a vehicle for you expressing your passion in a certain way that allows you to add value to other people, to clients, to the world, to families you're making a difference for or companies or B2B that you're making a difference for. When your energy is channeled in understanding that revenue, sales, cash flow is a byproduct or a consequence of you giving your gift through the vehicle of your enterprise, you start to focus on how do I add value and attach your passion to that rather than looking in the bank because I need to make more money and what happens if I lose it?
