  3. Aligning your business with your life purpose, knowledge, skills, and people you empathize with can lead to profound fulfillment.

  4. Ambition is valuable but must be rooted in genuine intentions and not become an obsession over outcomes.

  5. Businesses should focus on serving people genuinely and authentically rather than using them as tools for profit.

  6. The process and journey in business are as vital as, if not more than, the final outcome.

  7. True success in entrepreneurship can be measured by more than just financial gains; it encompasses personal alignment, integrity, and impact on others.
