In his TED talk Simon Sinek puts it beautifully!
Why do you do what you do?
Why does your business exist?
Most of us know what we do, some of us even know how we do it, but few truely understand why we do what we do.
This is something that I came accross early on in starting my coaching business and imediately began to help my client develop their "Why" yet somehow never gave it a thought to develop my own!
Without developing my own "Why" I really limited my business growth, even more than that I began to loose passion for what I did because things became more about process than purpose. I had become a slave to my own business the very thing I was helping my clients move away from.
I had to completely change what I was doing, refocus, develop, build explore and really search from within, why do I do what I do?
Well here it is; I love to help people, I love to see people achieve thier goals, I love it when I dont except someones self imposed limits and they grow into an even better version of themselves a better businessman/women father, husband, wife or whatever it is for them, I love it when someone who was feeling stuck moves forward, when momentum is built, the confidence that comes through progress, the joy in my clients eyes when their dreams are being taken care of!
Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership -- starting with a golden circle and the question "Why?" His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers ...
