Pieces of the Puzzle Fitting Together

If life runs in cycles, then I'm definitely on a good cycle. I just had another hour and a half, inspiring conversation. This time it was with another entrepreneur my age who found the site through Google. He is working on starting an organization called Youth Network for Enlightened Wealth (Y-NEW). Below is a description of the company:

Y-NEW is dedicated to inspiring young entrepreneurs to create prosperity using enlightened principles.

Young people have more opportunities and tools available to improve the financial and social condition of the world than ever before in history. They are motivated to impact society positively and contribute to the higher good of humankind.

Research finds that young people are volunteering at rates higher than previous generations. They understand that all humans are part of a global community, and want to take action to form a more a better world. The data is clear: young people are ready to serve.

However, most opportunities for service provide little to no economic incentive, and often do not focus on true internal change. Y-NEW seeks to change that common assumption. Now is time that the younger generations must choose to take responsibility for themselves and the state of the world, and they shouldn?t have to sacrifice their financial freedom in order to serve their fellow citizens.

Y-NEW is founded on the belief that personal prosperity is an honorable life goal, as long as one uses it for the good of others. Y-NEW also believes that wealth combined with service is one of the most ? if not the most ? powerful catalysts for change in the world. Y-NEW gives young entrepreneurs the tools they need to succeed financially, psychologically, spiritually, and physically, and to create abundance in the world while serving others.

We couldn't have been more on the same page about personal growth, spirituality, and entrepreneurship. The conversation ended with us talking about the possibility of collaborating to throw a conference next summer targeted at students interested in personal growth.
