The Importance of Finding Your Authentic Purpose

Success is often tied to discovering one's authentic self rather than merely following market trends. Many entrepreneurs chase the latest fads, such as cryptocurrency or artificial intelligence, without considering what truly resonates with their personality and long-term interests.
