It does however bombard us with so much noise! A large portion of this is telling us to follow our purpose and all will be well.

GUEST SPEAKER INTRODUCTION
Guest Speaker Introduction
No “Ordinary” Business Network
Rekindle your Purpose
The big question......what exactly is Purpose?
What is Purpose? Purpose = why
◦ The reason on a soul level why you do what you do
◦ Strategic reason behind doing something
Purpose = how
◦ The daily behaviour you display to achieve your goals
Sometimes feeling lost
◦ Forget why you started in a certain direction◦ Make decisions not in line with value structure◦ Listen to what others expect you to do◦ Get caught up in socially prescribed roles◦ Just don’t know what to do next
Purpose cont.
De-clutter thoughts
◦ Go back to when you started this journey◦ Regain clarity on your original why◦ Is it still relevant?◦ If not, is it really your why, on a soul level?◦ If it no longer resonates, re-evaluate
How to get back on track
De-clutter behaviour
◦ Do you have a plan?◦ Is it written down?◦ Do you have a realistic action plan?◦ Do you PLAN?◦ What are you basing your decisions on?
Your values or external input?
How to get back on track
De-clutter your space
◦ Is your working area conducive to productivity◦ Are you keeping yourself busy with “stuff”
How to get back on track
This is where your mind screams at you....ON WHAT ??????
