Jim shares how important it is to find your purpose in business and life with with examples from a couple of his best guests on The RV Entrepreneur podcast.

I may be a bit biased, but my episodes for the RVE Podcast just keep getting better. Well, at least my guests do. And, one common thread that keeps coming up is how important it is to find your purpose. Know your why they say. But what is your purpose? Why should it matter? I often steer this discussion in the direction of how it relates to both life and business. And, that’s because another topic that often arises is our endless pursuit for that elusive life/work balance. So, I’m happy to share two of my recent and maybe my best episodes for The RV Entrepreneur.

Why? Because there are no coincidences. Both of these guests provided their own unique formula success. That is, success in terms of finding true happiness and fulfillment. Spoiler: That boils down the this find your purpose theme I’ve mentioned.

Two RVE Podcast Episodes Help You Find Your Purpose

Not all guests on The RV Entrepreneur podcast are RVers. But, they’re all entrepreneurs. And, recently I had the pleasure of chatting with two of the most successful entrepreneurs I’ve interviewing so far. However, to fully understand, first redefine success. While the internet bros pitch programs to become successful with seven figure income, it’s not all about the money. I view true success as feeling fulfilled with the work we do.

Rene and I talked about how we found our purpose to fuel our passion when interviewed for the Fit Life Creation podcast after we launched our Be More Dog book. And, I’ve written about my firm belief in ikigai a few times before. So, both of these interviews really hit home for me. Especially when both of my guests shared such similar ideas about how important it is to find your purpose.

In episode 383 of the RVE Podcast, I sat down with RVer Joel Holland to discuss his entrepreneurial journey, the explosive growth of Harvest Hosts, and the challenges and rewards of scaling a business while maintaining a life of adventure.
