Purpose for being in business

I recently read an article that talked about the purpose for being in business and it got me to thinking about why I do all of this. There is the fact that I really enjoy what I do. After more than a little thought, remember I am running a wood splitter a part of each day, I have decided that I am a guide because I want my clients to learn something amazing about the environment each time I am with them. I don’t know if I achieve that goal every time but I hear enough stories to make me think that I am at least on the right track. I call this simply conservation education because an appreciation for how amazing the environment is starts everyone on the road to thinking about how to take care of it. I am fortunate to have found volunteer opportunities that encourage and promote conservation education. I think that the board of directors of the Maine Conservation School or as a Trustee of Unity College are different facets of the same goal. In fact working as the lobbyist for the Maine Bowhunters Association and the Maine Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation is conservation education of a slightly different sort. To me all of this ties together neatly and fits what I think is my purpose for being in business.
