Entrepreneurship or even business in general for some comes with the connotation of self-interest, something pursued by the greedy in society. This is especially true for those who may have had anti-capitalist influencers in their life. They are told of all the ills that occur at the hands of business leaders and the stakeholders that support them. So, when the time comes for these people to join the world of business, they tell themselves that they will be different, or better yet they will be the difference. These people feel the need to justify themselves, and their field of work. Claiming your goal is to change the world or to have some sort of impact is often how the profession is justified. This derivative mission has led to the development of a culture that promotes workaholics, because your hard work at the expense of relationships and health, is not for your own gain, no you’re doing this for the world.
Jessica stillman’s article wants to show that this is not the only path in business, and she dos this by referencing an article by business leader Lauren Bacon. Bacon’s article is a ‘counter cultural’ push back that says no to the unreasonable demand of a hustle culture with no real value provided to the entrepreneur. Lauren sees life outside the workplace as also having value and that it is necessary. https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/why-you-should-wear-phrase-lifestyle-business-as-a-badge-of-honor.html
