On a somewhat related note, I read (most of... it's LONG) this article on Frog Design's blog shortly after reading your post... <a href="http://designmind.frogdesign.com/blog/the-future-of-capitalism-in-five-minutes-meaning-driven-business-in-fast-times.html" rel="nofollow">The Future of Capitalism in Five Minutes: Meaning-driven Business in Fast Times</a>. Interesting reading. If nothing else, I discovered a new term... "Ethonomics" - coined by a guy with Fast Company. Thx, Doug.

In my mind, though, success means meeting a "deep need" in the world, and I define this as things like bringing information to the ignorant and enabling the hungry to feed themselves. Even if you're not concerned about the ethical aspect, it seems to me that being in the business of meeting those needs will make my own business more sustainable - and with luck and hard work, maybe I'll be able to leave the Capital City, telework from Old Town Key West, and make enough money to be a philanthropist :) Hi Mike,

One of my favorite quotes related to "calling" in life is from a writer named Frederick Buechner. Here's a paraphrase... "Calling is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep need meet." In your opinion is the writer of "The 4-hour Workweek" influenced in any why by notions of compassion, or does he seem to be more about hedonism on steroids (or would he argue that both positions are ultimately self-fulfilling)? Thx. Hey Doug. One of my favorite quotes related to “calling” in life is from a writer named Frederick Buechner.
