Any entrepreneur - and any aspiring entrepreneur - can use the centuries-old concept of the Jesuit Examen to benefit themselves and the world around them in their entrepreneurial activities.  The Entrepreneur’s Examen: Where to Begin Find a quiet space to relax and focus. Remember your “Why.”  What compels me to build this venture? What is its deeper purpose? Reflect on flourishing.  How does my venture promote the good…  …through the way the business interacts with customers? …through the treatment of my employees? …through relationships with my supply chain? and with other partners?  …through impact on the local community? …through effects on the environment, “our common home”? …through the meaningfulness of my venture to me as I realize my calling, and contribute to flourishing for the good of others? Review your day (or week, or month) and ask:  Where did my “Why” come alive? Bring to mind some concrete examples.  Where did frictions or distractions appear?  Are there patterns? What can I do differently?  Return to gratitude.  Recall your purpose. Give thanks for the chance to build something meaningful - for yourself and for others.
