We all have genius inside of us. You feel it too. I know you do. When you were younger you could tap into it. You didn't even think about it.

Some people live on purpose and some just respond to what the world delivers.

A "life purpose" is not something you do or something you have. Rather, what you "do" is an expression of your life purpose. Having a life purpose guides all your choices and shapes the direction of your life. It is your unique GPS. It is the compelling reason to be who you authentically are.

Everyone has purpose in life.

We will gladly give our time, attention and money to a person who knows what they are talking about. Or, at least thinks they know what they are talking about. However, self-confidence does not come naturally to a lot people.

Self-confidence is the ability to believe and display the attitude that you know what you are doing. The world is a beautiful balance of people who have varying levels of self-confidence.

Where are you on the self-confidence spectrum?

Transformation is crucial to living your dreams. You must rid yourself of mediocrity, and step up your game to a whole new level.

"It's not about being perfect. It's about effort and when you implement that effort into your life every single day, that's when transformation happens, that's how change occurs. You have to keep going and remember why you started." - Jillian Michaels

Today, I want to talk to you about the transformed mind. I want to talk to you about the difference between change and transformation. Here is my question for you today, will you settle for change or live a life of transformation?

Purpose! A word we often hear that we sometimes take for granted the idea of really knowing our purpose and why we exist in the Earth.

As a matter of fact, when I started my business, I wanted to identify a quote that would be the foundational reason for starting my business.

I love this particular quote that's all about purpose. I learned it some time ago from the late Dr. Myles Munroe. He states, "The greatest tragedy in life, is a life without purpose, a life without direction. Moreover, life's greatest failure is to be successful at the wrong assignment."

I love that quote, because when I understand the power of purpose, when I understand why is it important for us to align & connect with our purpose, I truly understand why I exist.

I believe it is my purpose to help you align with your purpose, & assist you in uncovering it, so you can live a life of abundance, freedom & great possibility.

This episode is dedicated to helping you to uncover your purpose & your why.

"You can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards. You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something, your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever." - Steve Jobs

Today, in this episode I get to connect the dots I get to connect the dots by looking back to an interview I did 5 years ago, as a guest on Mark Mawhinny's podcast Natural Born Coaches.

Mark provides me an opportunity to share my transition from my 9 to 5 to entrepreneurship.

I look back over the last five years & I get to see that everything I envisioned is happening for myself as a business owner, and as an entrepreneur.

How exciting is it to connect the dots. How exciting is it to look back and say I have the freedom I desired. I'm working for myself. I'm building the business and the income that I truly want, because I was willing to take a step. I was willing to take the leap. I was willing to move forward toward my dream.

I hope that you're inspired and motivated by this interview, which was 5 years ago, but still very relevant today.
