Have you ever thought about how to make both a meaningful impact and a sustainable income through your work? In this sixth waypoint of the Discovering Your Calling 8-Week Challenge, we’re diving deep into validating your career or business idea. This episode provides four key tests to help ensure your next steps align with your natural strengths and can generate income, all while positively impacting others.

Key Quote: "Impact and income don’t have to be at odds. You can create a purpose-driven life that sustains you financially and fulfills you personally."

Key Points/Topics Covered:

• Four Validation Tests: Criteria to evaluate your idea based on alignment with strengths, income potential, market need, and personal excitement.
• Eight Reasons People Spend Money: Insights into why people make purchasing decisions, from health to convenience to personal development.
• The Importance of “Campfire Excitement”: How to know if your passion is strong enough to carry you through challenges.
• Personal Story of Transformation: How talking about CliftonStrengths around a campfire led to a life-changing career shift.
• Action Steps for Validation: Practical ways to start testing your idea through conversations, volunteering, and small, manageable projects to gauge interest and feasibility.

Mindset Moment: As you explore these new possibilities, "Fearful Fred" might show up to discourage you. This episode covers tips to quiet that inner critic and stay on course.
