Figuring out the "what" and "how" is often the easiest part of work. Identifying your "why" requires more effort but is ultimately worthwhile. Setting aside time to define your why brings clarity in thought and decision making, according to Tara Malek, co-owner of Smith + Malek Law Firm. Articulating your purpose - saying it out loud - creates commitment and accountability.

Tara knew from a young age that she wanted to practice law, but her path to ownership in a private firm took a different route than she imagined and involved a few major job changes. Looking back on her experience, Tara recommends pushing past the fear of change. Making fear-based decisions, she says, is a hard habit to break and will never result in living your best life.
