Soft-spoken, introspective and thoughtful aren't usually qualities you associate with successful entrepreneurs–let alone someone like Arthur M. Blank, the billionaire co-founder of the Home Depot, and the owner of the Atlanta Falcons NFL team and the Major League Soccer team Atlanta United. I sat down to talk to him about his philosophy, lessons learned and what his true purpose is. It gives them a sense of purpose as well; it's not a job, it's really being part of a mission." When asked about what his own life's purpose is, Mr. Blank is reflective for a few moments, thinking before he answers. I think that's just an important perspective to understand–that this work is never going to be done.
