When you see the successes of other empire builders, you don’t get a true glimpse at the principles behind their success. There are some that are fundamental to success in business and in life. We see their effects, but it can be hard to identify where they come from. 

Continuing our series on The Six Personal Perspectives, we’re going to talk about “moving from E to P,” or going from being entrepreneurial to being purposeful. When you’re first starting your business, you’re likely doing what comes naturally to you. You can grow a good-sized company that way, but eventually you’ll hit a ceiling because that can only get you so far. Moving from entrepreneurial to purposeful means moving beyond what comes naturally, and being purposeful about stepping outside your comfort zone or surrounding yourself with people that possess the abilities that you do not.

We’re going break down five ways you can go from E to P in any part of your business or life:

• Having focus
• Creating strategies and actions
• Following the model
• Creating systems
• Being accountable
