What if I told you the biggest business ideas come from the smallest moments?
I’m not sure if it’s for you, but I just watched something that completely changed how I think about purpose-driven business.
Dr Mark Williams. Lost his leg at age 10. Became a Paralympic silver medallist and world champion swimmer. Climbed the corporate ladder at Ecolab for 25 years. Then a chance encounter in a Morrison’s car park changed everything.
A 4-year-old boy spotted Mark’s prosthetic leg cover and begged his mum for one. That moment birthed Limb Art, now operating in 15 countries and a winner of the King’s Award for Enterprise.
His words: “Work’s only work if you don’t enjoy it.”
Here’s my question: Are you building something that transforms lives, or just chasing the next promotion?
Most people get this backwards. You don’t have to.
Mark shares the exact mindset shift that took him from adversity to advantage. James calls it: “Accept what’s happened, set a target, any target, and start moving toward it today.”
Just imagine what shifts when you stop seeing obstacles as endings and start seeing them as superpowers.
The story about the ex-para who had his memorial tattoo recreated on a leg cover? When he clipped it on, he said, “My mates are back.” Everyone in tears. That’s the power of purpose-driven business.
WATCH THIS. Share it with your team. The part about writing two lists, what you’re good at and what you’re not, then outsourcing everything on the second list? That alone is worth it.
