Episode 11 | Questions to Determine Your Purpose in Life
On today’s episode of Braving Business, I am talking about a question that a lot of people bring to me which is, “How do I figure out what to do with my life?” which is always followed by, “Where do I start?” I am going to walk you through the exercises and questions that I put my clients through to get them from “I don’t know where to begin,” to a place of clarity and forward momentum so they can actually build a business or build a life that is purposeful.

So what are the questions?
Tell me about an experience where you felt a lot of joy and where you also felt valued? It could be a project you worked on, a conversation you had with someone, a contest you won, a dinner you hosted, a conflict you solved, etc. Really the defining factor is that you felt you were doing it well or solving it well and you enjoyed it.
List 4 people you admire in the world for what they contribute or do. Tell me in one sentence what it is about them that you admire.
List 1-4 people who you wish you could help. Are there similarities between them? Do you help them with something similar? It’s ok if not.
If money was no issue and you could spend your time doing WHATEVER you wanted (travel, writing, painting, building a homeless shelter, cooking, etc.) what would it be?
Pro tips:
You MUST be in a positive/hopeful mindset when you complete these questions
You shouldn’t try to force any answers but really let your heart answer them with joy and hope
You shouldn’t kill these answers with logistics or answer in a way that you think someone will want to hear them
The task at hand is to tap into what’s unique and authentic inside of you, not find some correct answer.
Do you want me to interpret the answers for you? There are two ways you can do that:
