Also, list the 3 key questions that guide your choices. These should be essential questions that serve as touchstones to direct your life and work. For instance, how can I have impact? What do I love? What do I fear? What engages my passions? How do I want to be remembered? The answers to these questions may well change over time, but when the questions themselves are fundamental they tend to last a lifetime.
Opportunity and market that connect with your goals? Don’t restrict yourself to matters of career or work; think more broadly about your opportunities to make a difference.
Marketing and Implementation Strategy:

Entrepreneurial Ethics, Personal “Board of Directors,” and 6-Word Summary
– Entrepreneurship is not all about personal financial gain. It concerns crafting a lifelong plan to make a positive impact on society. Character does matter. Failure is OK; unethical behavior is not. True wealth requires the creation of enduring value, which requires integrity and ethics. Entrepreneurship and business are not just contact sports subject to their own arcane rules, but an integral part of life that reflect the values of each participant. How do you plan to practice ethical principles in your daily actions?
– If you could assemble any four (4) people to advise and mentor you, who would they be? They may be alive or dead, family or world leaders, friends or strangers*. Why would you choose each? Is it their wisdom, their accomplishments, their words, their creativity, their character, their heroic deeds?
