I've always believed the highest calling of a human being is the act of creating.

The artist brings her vision to life by brushing paint to canvas.

The musician, with composing and playing music that speaks to his soul.

The fiction writer draws inspiration from the depths of her imagination and turns it into a story.

All of these forms of creativity, are examples of how we express this desire to create.

Then there's the entrepreneur...

We answer this call to create in a different way than the artist, the musician or the writer.

We work in the realm of ideas, and bring forth solutions to problems, to fulfill desires, and make people's lives better.

And the reason we are so rare is because it takes uncommon courage to be a creator and entrepreneur.

It requires breaking free from the status quo and taking risks others are unwilling or unable to take, because our dreams are bigger than our fears.

We know conformity breeds mediocrity.

We don't let doubt stop us from fulfilling our calling of helping others do more, be more, and have more.

We don't shirk away from tough problems, and we don't quit when we get knocked down, because we are compelled by a grander vision… a bigger purpose.

It's this higher calling that makes us get back up, push the envelope and forge ahead when most would throw in the towel.

We know that everyone who's achieved any worth-while goal, has at one time or another has found themselves with at least one foot hanging over the precipice, and on the brink of failure.

We continue when others would give up, we persevere, we overcome, and we thrive because we're willing to do what most others won't, so we can live our lives the way most people can't.

We are Creators.
