Adam Farmer is a motivational speaker, production trainer and business coach that specializes in helping budding entrepreneurs realize their small business dreams, empowering them to make their own choices about careers, time and wealth.
During the interview he goes in more depth about his experience at Seminary which led him to have a disdain for mediocre church organizations and the connection between purpose and fulfillment. We talk about the concept of deconstruction, what it is and how your work and service in the world is tied to spirituality.
He discusses the 4 pillars of promise which lead you to live in harmony with the gifts that you were born with and lead a truly successful life making positive impact in the world.
Adam gives you an overview of how to attain fulfillment in your life and achieve spiritual and professional well-being through the 4 pillars of promise.
- You have to know your purpose. That is your foundation by which everything else you choose to do is going to be based on. Whatever it is you must feel a clear yes in every part of your being… otherwise it’s not it.
- Assess what you are really gifted at doing, what are YOUR strengths. Understanding what you are innately good at doing. This is who you are. you can’t buy this or get this by academics. He recommends you do the Gallup Stress Assessment – Clifton StrengthsFinder (Adam is not affiliated with this assessment and its very affordable).
- Create a value statement for YOU. What is the value and contribution that you are going to make to the world? This is what makes you a leader.
- Develop your own entrepreneurial dream team because you can’t do this work alone. You have to be able to communication your VISION and MISSION as this will attract the right team to you because they are aligned with what spirit wants you to do.
To find your purpose, Adam encourages you to notice what is causing you to have strong emotional reactions. This can show up watching the news, Facebook, videos, etc.
Regardless of the emotion, this is an indicator that you have solutions inside of you to the problems you are seeing. This is the source of your emotional reaction. When you feel these frustrations daily you should dig deeper because you may have simple solutions to these problems.
He also provides a meditation technique from Eckhart Tolle which is to take 2 conscious breathes. Then do this as many times as possible throughout your day.
