Why Purpose Matters at Work
“Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.”
-John F. Kennedy
Do you dread every Monday morning? Do you find yourself procrastinating until the last minute to finish a task? Do you end every day feeling drained?
If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Our culture encourages us to push ourselves to – and often, past – our limits without providing any sense of balance or direction. The result is millions of people who stressed, burned out and void of passion. But, there is one way to give yourself an additional “boost” when it comes to your work: Purpose.
Having a higher sense of purpose for your work will help you be more engaged, energized, creative and inspired. When you have a sense of purpose, you no longer work simply for financial gain but for personal fulfillment, a need to help others, or to make a meaningful impact on the world.
The key to finding a sense of purpose is to connect with what really matters to you as a human being. Each of us is different, and each of us has a deep desire somewhere inside us to feel a sense of connection with what we do.
Not sure how to figure out what makes you tick? Not to worry – my new (free!) interactive video and workbook, “Find and Follow Your Calling in 7 Simple Steps” will walk you through a set of steps to find your purpose and put it into action. Once you know what you’re really after in life, applying that knowledge to your work will give you a greater sense of satisfaction, more energy, and less stress!

Thank you for including Laura Cannon’s book on your blog tour. I read her book and spent a lot of time reflecting on many of its deeper messages.
“Because we are each, as individuals, inextricably linked to anything and everything in the universe, we can choose to adopt a mindset that everything – seriously, everything – that happens in our lives and our businesses happens for our benefit.” ~ The Conscious Entrepreneur
