A quick guide to finding WHY

Purpose is not:

A mission or a quest
Or a goal to save the world
A strapline for your brand
Just to make a profit (though it will be profitable)
Something to measure
An objective with a deadline

Purpose is:

The WHY
A North Star
Your intention
Born of passion and intuition
Inspiring — even if it feels generic — because it is authentic
Aligned to your values
Demonstrated in everything you do
Focus
Communicated often
About change
The key to growth
Within you
