I do think having an EOC business is a vocation, living out a vocation. Um, particularly with my business, it's something so personal to me. Uh, when I started, when I first started and had the idea, I remember I was taking a walk with my dad and I told him that I was going to start this business. He had my full support of course and at the time I had this goal of oh it would be great in you know in two months to raise 100 meals.
I had no idea how and this was way before I had my first event. I I didn't have anything. I didn't start with anything. It was just an idea this desire. And I think the EOCC business is a lifestyle and a vocation because the inspiration to start my business, it wasn't to generate sales or profit or to earn like um another um revenue stream. It was to answer a question that I had of how can I provide meals for children.
And so the question it's different. It's more of what is my impact? how can I use my gifts and talents to be of service for others? So, my goal was mealoriented. Um, it was people focused. It wasn't to generate revenue. And so, when your question is different and that informs everything you do in a business, then that is the lifestyle because that's your north star.
