Drop The Outcome, Focus On The Process (your guide to purpose)
Here’s the biggest mistake my clients initially make.
(and the simple and effective mindset shift to counter it).
My clients have achieved professional and material success, but now, at the midpoint of their lives,
- They have a success-sized hole and feel empty.
- They know they’re leaving the best parts of themselves untapped.
- They have a burning desire to connect with their purpose and unleash their potential so they can cultivate meaning and fulfillment and reduce their regrets.
Here’s the mistake:
- They believe their purpose must replace their paycheck.
How will writing, craftsmanship, or entrepreneurship replace generous six-figure salaries?
Why this is a massive mistake:
Believing your purpose must replace your paycheck will kill your dreams.
It’s too much pressure.
Exploring, discovering, and connecting with your purpose requires the antithesis of pressure.
How we break from this belief:
High performers focus on the outcome. It’s what they’ve always done and how they’re measured in their career.
