## Resource

Unlike assembling a Lego toy, chopping down a tree, or digging a pit, building a business is very much a spiritual enterprise. Try and think how many different people benefit when you build a profitable business. An activity that benefits many people is partially spiritual. Any activity that benefits or brings pleasure to only you is not very spiritual. A business has significant spiritual elements so it is best to know some of the spiritual secrets for maximizing the effectiveness of the spiritual dimension.
