Tying our vision for our life to
an earnings-driven model is hand-to-mouth living. “What do you want to be?” we
ask children, and that becomes the key question that determines their quality
of life. Meritocracy suggests we are okay with people who add more value living
better lives as a reward. That is very ego based. Individuals become
self-judging productive assets. Building Capital separates the lives we want to
live from the financing decision. It opens up a world of ideas that aren’t
driven by some of the key questions of what makes money. Can you clearly
articulate an ask? Can you clearly articulate an offer? Is there a big enough
community with that ask? Can you build a container that allows you to charge
for matching the ask and offer, and solving the problem? Not everything worth
doing is a clearly defined scalable problem (Ask and Offer). Not every problem
is only worth solving if you can get the credit (Containable). Building Capital
creates space between your hand and mouth, and the opportunity to look up and
dream.
Not everything can be contained
