This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Neri Karra Sillaman. She says –

“It is never about you. All the entrepreneurs I talk to, that's the most surprising element. When they were building the businesses, it was never about them. They never thought of themselves as the sun in the middle, and they are this leader that is shining out their intelligence and benevolence to others, but they are thinking of others first. And that's what creates business longevity.”

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• You’ll hear how Neri made the bold decision to walk away from a successful family business to pursue what really lit her up—and the moment she knew it was time.

• You’ll learn why so many immigrant entrepreneurs build businesses that last, and how those same principles can apply to your life and work.

• You’ll get real insight into what it means to live with purpose, even when it means going against expectations and choosing yourself.

Born in communist Bulgaria and once a refugee living in a tent, Neri shares how education became her North Star, how she built a global luxury goods brand with her family, and why stepping away from it all led her to the work she was truly meant to do.

Neri Karra Sillaman is a globally recognized entrepreneur, author, and advisor to leaders worldwide. She’s also the founder of a luxury leather goods brand, a former associate professor, and author of Pioneers: Eight Principles of Business Longevity from Immigrant Entrepreneurs.
