April 24, 2020251: Fri-Date | Make the Massive Shift to Living on Purpose
Today’s Topic: How to shift from living by default to living by design

We have a finite amount of time on this planet. I don’t want to say this time is an opportunity, but it can become the catalyst where you examine your life and see if you’re really putting your time into the things that matter. So many of us are living by default and doing things one way because that’s the way they’ve always been done. I want you to look at the life you live and make sure you’re heading in the direction of your own design.

In This Conversation We Cover:

[02:40] Trying to find ways to help people

[08:28] Taking time for reevaluation

[12:22] Where to start in identifying your priorities

[16:46] How to pivot in the job you have
