For those of us working we are probably working for the following reason(s): 

  • Money
  • Helping others
  • Passion
  • Love for what you do
  • Accomplishment 
  • Responsibility 
  • Stepping stone 
  • Purpose 
  • To get through the hard times generally we need a combination of those reasons!


    Know your why, every single why

    • Why you work
    • Why you work for your company 
    • Why you have the job you have 
    • Why you work with the team you work with 
    • Why you work for the boss you work for 
    • Once you full understand your why you can start to understand the meaning behind it all, some examples might be: 

      • Awesome project 
      • Life changing mission
      • Huge, challenging goal 
      • Moving the needle 
      • Paying off debt

      • The why or several whys may fall into different buckets or categories: 

        • Mission
        • Work = income
