In this Breakaway Wealth episode, Jim digs in with leadership coach Pankaj Singh on how purpose, clarity, and simple mindful practices make you a sharper leader at home and at work. We get practical—how to carve purpose, build the right relationships, run cleaner meetings, and reset your brain in 60 seconds. 

Who is Pankaj? He’s the founder of Singh Leadership, creator of the Inner Compass Journey, and longtime practitioner of mindful leadership who helps people find fulfillment and performance without the fluff.

What You’ll Learn:

• A practical shift: vision is the output of Purpose → Reflection → Organizing, not a lightning bolt

• A personal breakthrough: grace and gratitude remove the pressure to “boil the ocean by 10 a.m.”

• A simple move: start every meeting with three questions—What do we want from this? What would you do instead if you weren’t here? Who would do this better?

• A real story: how a stuck high-performer pivoted by testing value on the side, guided by accountability

• A faith and energy tie-in: intention + disciplined breath interrupts fear, aligns action, and opens flow

Action Steps:

1. Clarify Your One Thing Write the single outcome that makes everything else easier or unnecessary. Use it to filter tasks and meetings this week.

2. Run Every Meeting With 3 Questions Open with: What do you want from this? If you weren’t here, what would you do instead? Who would do this better? Keep it under 30 seconds.

3. Install the STOP + Box Breath Reset Several times a day: Stop, Track sensations, Observe thoughts, Put a name to the emotion. Then 4x4 box breathing to re-engage your prefrontal cortex.

Pankaj Singh's Final Word

“Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Take a deliberate pause, get clear, then act with intention.”
