Lesson #3: Go Ahead and Get Your Hands a Little Dirty
Bean might have been an entrepreneur, and a successful one at that, but in his heart he was a hunter, and a fisherman, and an all around outdoorsman.

Stuck in the Middle... of Insanity?
You've probably heard the modern day definition of insanity, right? It's doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Well, let's look at this more deeply by applying the Life On Purpose Perspective with it. Recently, I've been working with the challenge many people who come to Life On Purpose seem to have -- drifting through life. I sometime think of it as the "Groundhog Day Syndrome" because one day seems pretty much like the repeat of the previous days.
