Have you ever stopped to think about why you do what you do? What’s the motive behind it? What drives you? What pushes you? What are you really trying to accomplish?
I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.
I’ve been asking myself, “What is it that I’m trying to build/create/do? I’m a speaker and author for students, but beyond that, what is it that I want to be about?”
Don’t get me wrong. I love what I get to do, but I don’t want to be burned out in 12 months because I’m just spinning my wheels. I want to be smart, strategic, and proactive about how I build my business. As I wrote recently, I want to continue to look forward to Monday mornings and be energized by the challenges that lie ahead of me.
But it’s tough to build that kind of business/career/dream/life if you don’t fully grasp where you’re going?
Before any of those questions can be answered, you must answer the “why” question first.
Why do you do what you do?
