The Very First Entrepreneur!

Hey Go-Getter,

Let me introduce you to Enki, a merchant from the bustling city of Ur in ancient Mesopotamia. Enki stands tall, with his tunic dusted from the market, a confident smile on his face as he greets us.

“You lookin’ to trade?” he asks, offering a warm handshake. “I’m Enki. You could say I was one of the first to see the opportunity in trade.” His voice carries the weight of someone who’s been doing this for a long time.

Enki goes on to tell us about how he used clay tablets to keep track of everything—his trades, his debts, and even agreements. He knew that business was all about trust and documentation. He didn’t have an LLC or a fancy contract, but his word and the records he kept were his bond.

“It wasn’t just about goods,” Enki says, looking at us seriously. “It was about relationships. You keep your promises, and your business grows.”

Message from Ol' Mo:
"Building trust and documenting your agreements is the key to unlocking your purpose in business."

We could learn a lot from Enki’s simple but profound approach. So, as you go about your own journey, think about how trust and relationships are at the heart of what you do. That’s how you build a legacy that lasts.

Catch ya next time,
Ol' Mo
