531 – Go Ahead… Build A Bigger Boat

About ten years ago, I heard the parable of “The Mexican Fisherman” for the first time.

Back then, I totally bought into the message of the story. The message, as I interpreted it, was that we should avoid building a big business as a means of building wealth. Instead, we should be satisfied doing the work that allows us to meet our needs and enjoy the simple/important things in life.

Lately, I've been thinking about how this parable presents a false dichotomy. In this episode, I share why I feel that hundreds of people's lives, including the lives of his wife and children, would benefit from him building the bigger boat and growing his business.
