I will start this post by apologizing for my brief departure from posting. As many of you know, I am working to bring my mom home from the memory care facility. If I ever needed leadership skills, I will will need them now! I am still trying to work from home and will now will hope to bring my mom home to live with me. She will be turning 90 in December and I want to make sure we can spend quality time together. Because covid, we couldn’t see mom. IT was a terrible 3 months for sure. Not only are these folks already isolated, we were told we couldn’t see them. While I understand the reasons, still it was a terrible time. So, I am hoping now to get back to my posting and hopefully give you some valuable insights on how to deal with this next phase of my life. Stay tuned!

It is often said that if you lose your “why” in life, you will lose your “way” in life! We live in a country where sometimes we believe our “why” is to have more stuff. Or to have a bigger house or drive a better car! But only to find that the bigger house, the better car or the fancy vacation is only short lived. The bigger question is to ask:” Why am I here?” Am I fulfilling my calling in life? What are my gifts and talents and am I using them to fulfill my purpose in life? Here are a few questions to help you understand your “why”:

1. Are you working each day to increase your awareness of yourself? Are you teachable, humble, open, listening, prayerful?
2. Think about times in your past when you were fully engaged in living your dream, in flow, energetic and positive. How and who did this impact? Was it Glorifying God? Were you helping others? If it glorifies God, you are probably in your “why”.
3. Make a list of your gifts and talents and then find a few people who know you and ask them what they think are your gifts and talents. It is important to not to feel criticized, but make a point for open discussions. Take this feedback seriously to see if there is a gap between what others think and what you think your gifts and talents are.
4. Make a list of what you think your “why” values are. From this list, it will help you define your “why” clearly. After you write it out on paper, ask yourself:”Is this correct? Is this why I get up every morning?”
5. Keep working on trying to define your “why” and before you know it, your “way” will become clearer. Use your “why” to build your platform, launch a new career, or take steps in a new direction. Remember, people will be attracted to your “why” if it glorifies God.
6. Your “why” is full of energy, passion and power and you will know when you are in harmony with your “why”
7. NEVER EVER OUTSOURCE YOUR WHY! NEVER OUTSOURCE THE CREATION OF YOUR PURPOSE!

In my last post, I talked a little bit about how important it is to find your “WHY” in life. It is important because without knowing your “WHY”, you will drift through life and wonder why you wasted so much time. Your “WHY” is important both spiritually and physically. It is equally important in your business life. Your “WHY” is the reason you get up each day and do what must be done. Your “WHY” is what gives your life purpose and passion. And it’s your “WHY” that impacts others and makes the world a better place. If you are wondering how to determine your “WHY”, then here are a few tips:

1. Your “WHY” is a culmination of your experiences both good and bad, bitter and sweet, happy and sad.
2. Your “WHY” is the burden God places on your heart each and everyday. Its that thought or idea that you have on how you want to live the rest of your life.
3. Your “WHY” is how you are “Gifted”.
4. Your “WHY” is what others come to you for repeatedly.
5. Your “WHY” is your message to the world.
6. Your “Why” is the Purpose God has designed you to solve.
7. Your “why” is to Glorify God in all you do.

From a business perspective, it is your “WHY” that makes others want to do business with you. Its your “WHY” that separates you from the competition.
So, with the new year beginning, RE-CONNECT with your “WHY”! And remember, if you lose your “WHY”, you will lose your way in life!

WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR WHY, YOU LOSE YOUR WAY! HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS! As we begin 2019 I plan to be much more intentional with regard to helping you succeed in life and work! 2018 taught me a good bit of what I need to change in both my habits and my productivity. Let me share with you what I feel is the greatest issue in front of your success! ITS DISTRACTIONS! It became very clear to me that I must be very intentional about my life. With each day passing, time is running quickly and I need to focus on what will take my life and my business to the next level. I have spent the last years working on building an infrastructure that allows me to design a lifestyle business. I will be sharing with you in my blog posts, Podcast and Events what it takes to lead a John:10:10 life. Thanks so much to all who have supported me on this journey and I hope to help you Succeed at both Life and Work with Purpose and Intention in 2019! Remember, it is absolutely CRITICAL to find your WHY in life. That is what you will learn along the way this year with me!
