Article Body:
Picture thisÂ…everyday getting up to your alarm clock, begrudgingly rolling out of bed, grabbing a cup of coffee, showering, dressing, making that long commute to work, doing your job, coming home, going to bed, only to do it all over again the next day.
OR
Waking up, excited to greet the day and what may be in store for you. Feeling a spring in your step and a strong sense deep inside that whatever the day brings, you will have funÂ…because you know that youÂ’re doing what you love, what you're best at, and what you're meant to be doing.
~Purpose and Passion~
What does it mean to live life with a passion and on purpose? What if you have no idea what your passion or purpose is? These are important questions and I am here to tell youÂ…WE ALL have a purpose and WE ALL have passions. Whether it is clearly defined, whether we realize it or not, we do.
Some people are born knowing what ignites a fire for them, what drives them forward, what their purpose is. Others are less sure and go in search of that passion and purpose, exploring many things. How ever one comes to realize their own passion and purpose, itÂ’s OKÂ…there is no right or wrong way. Honestly, it was not until the last few years that I really came to understand what my purpose is. (I will admit sometimes trying to figure it out was rather frustrating. )
One day I was asked, “What do you feel your purpose is?” and without thinking the following words fell out of my mouth… “My purpose is to ask questions, to help others to find the resources and beauty within them and around them to excel.” THAT WAS IT! I quickly grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote it down. It was then that I realized what I was most passionate about; helping others find the answers within them to move forward in their own lives. (That is exactly why I became a coach. :::smile::::)
Amazingly enough, all it took was someone to ask me a question and force me to think for a moment. So now, I wish to ask you, “What is your purpose?” If you don’t know the answer to that question just yet, that’s OK…instead consider the following questions;
1) What excites you the most?
2) What around you ignites a fire?
3) Have you ever done something where you lost all track of time? What were you doing?
If those questions donÂ’t help to get your juices flowing, then try to visualize what your ideal day would look like. A day where you could do anything you wished. Grab a piece of paper and a pen and write down as much detail as possible. Where are you? What sounds do you hear? What are you doing?
Just remember, itÂ’s OK if the answers do not come right awayÂ…they may come when you least expect them. In the meantime, have fun exploring and if you need any support or assistance in finding your purpose, please contact me (pam@whatswithinu.com). I will gladly provide you with a complimentary coaching session.

What do you want to achieve?
Before you actually set up, decide what you want to achieve with your business. If you are already in business, review where you are going, are you clear about this?
Why not take some time out to think about and write down your goals for your business?
Write it down
Research shows that only 3% of people write down their goals, and on average these people earn 10 times those who donÂ’t have goals. Plus research shows that people with up to date written goals are as much as 3100% more successful than people who do not have up to date written goals.
And make sure your business goals donÂ’t conflict with things you want to do personally. When you are thinking about your goals, think about and write down your personal goals too. And if you are a multi owner business you will obviously need to discuss your responses with your colleagues, and agree on a shared set of goals for the business.
SMART goals
Make sure that the goals you write are SMART. What does this mean? It stands for:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Timed
Apply these five measures to each of your goals.
What does it mean to you in reality?
Once you have written down your goal as a SMART goal, think about what the effects would be if you didnÂ’t achieve itl. What is the pain that you and those you love will experience if you donÂ’t achieve your goal, ie ill health, poverty, unhappiness etc. (Why do this? Because recognising this pain is an enormous motivating force that will help you to work even harder to make sure you donÂ’t fail!)
Then decide what you will gain when you succeed - ie wealth, health, happiness, a prosperous retirement etc. What will you see, hear and feel? And what else will your success allow you to achieve/do? And finally write down the key things you will need in order to achieve your goal. For example, it could be new resources, contacts, skills, actions etc.
Repeat this process using a new sheet for every single goal you would like to achieve.
Prioritise
Next try and prioritise the goals you have written. Lay out all of your goals in front of you and decide which are the most important to you, which are less important and which (if any) are, on reflection, not important after all.
For each goal that is still important work out how you will achieve it, break it down in to smaller steps to make it easier to manage.
Plan in timescales to do each step, write them into your diary or planner. That way you make reaching your goals part of your daily activities.
Look at your where your time goes
Its worth having a look at how you spend your time at the moment, and comparing this to the way you would like your life to happen. Then you can fit your goals into this as well.
To do this, look at the personal goals you set out and list out the broad areas of your life that are important to you eg family, friends, business, health, fitness, money etc Make a note of the percentage of your waking time that you would like to spend in each of these areas in an ideal world (make sure that the column adds up to 100%) Estimate approximately the percentage of your waking time you think you are actually spending in each area at the moment, - just a rough and ready approximation here, donÂ’t waste time trying to get pinpoint accuracy the aim is just to get a broad feel Then calculate the gap between the two Looking at the gaps does it suggest that you need to make changes in order to achieve your goals? If it does, what changes are you going to make?
Next steps
Think carefully about everything you have just done and thought about. What are the implications for what you are doing in your business and your life - and what you should be doing?
Transfer the things you should be doing to an action planner. Keep this somewhere where you wonÂ’t lose sight of it, so that you are reminded on a daily basis about what you want to achieve.
If you think it would help contact an advisor, mentor or coach to discuss what else you can do to achieve your goals. Sometimes it helps to go through the whole exercise with a third party, who can be more objective and help you to focus on the right things.
Review your action planner. Prioritise it. And start taking action!
And remember, however good your ideas and intentions areÂ… they will come to absolutely nothing unless they are turned into action.
So focus on taking ACTION. And start taking it today.
