When I started my own Succeed On Purpose journey, and built what is now the Share On Purpose portfolio of companies, I willingly took risks in search for inner joy as well as financial success.
I remember THE weekend like it was yesterday. A transformational blow was knocking on my life, and by the end of this particular weekend my world would look dramatically different.
There is a deep part of us that aches for more. More success, more joy, more health and more meaning to our lives. These desires are natural and soulful.
Each election was more contentious than the one before, as politicians fought over the 2-5% of the population that isn't firmly entrenched and divided. So, I've set a goal to create peace in my own little corner of the world through three pacts.
It's time to play at a whole new level. And I invite each of you to join me. It’s time for me to share the lessons I've learned about how to Succeed On Purpose, with the millions of people searching for both meaning AND success.
When I look back at life I can only see the lessons, and then the insight gained from them. When I look ahead to the future I am amazed how everything was leading me to this path.
Sometimes it takes a crisis—a relationship ending, a major health scare, a car accident—to wake us from the sleepwalk state in which we exist. Regardless of the challenges that are facing us, we rarely regret choosing to live our life on purpose.
There have been many spiritual gurus, but none have touched as many lives as Wayne Dyer. I have learned many critical lessons from Wayne that apply to anyone seeking to transform their life.
I’ve set a goal to make this next year transformational. To be successful in that audacious goal, I must first transform myself. Here are 3 transformational goals I’ve set for next year. Care to join this “Transformation Pact?”
The CEO at Jostens Learning took me under his wing and taught me some invaluable lessons. As a 27-yr old executive (in over my head), I was cocky, arrogant, majorly insecure, and very overly-sensitive, but had unusual gifts that ONLY the CEO recognized.
How I shifted the way I lived in order for time to REVEAL who I was, rather than expose who I had pretended to be. Will time reveal or expose who you are?
12 years ago, I became an entrepreneur, failed miserably and lost everything. Despite the failure, I was hooked on the freedom, creativity and passion of building a business, and NEVER wanted to go back to a job again.
To shift your focus to what's working, deal with the difficult, but don’t focus on it. Most Succeed On Purpose followers have heard the story of “You Get What You Focus On”—this post is about how to apply that lesson and make it work.
Most Succeed on Purpose followers have heard the story of “You Get What You Focus On” from Chapter 7 of my book. If not, I’ve included Chapter 7 at the end of this blog post as a reference.
At the end of each year I make a list of lessons and insights to take with me into the next year. It’s become an amazing and powerful ritual. For the first time, I want to share them publicly.
Have you ever noticed that no matter where we are in life, we always seem to want more? The truth is, we were DESIGNED for more. But we get confused about what this desire for more means.
The most important question for businesses and professionals attempting to navigate the New World of Work isn’t where we are going, but why it matters in the first place.
Duck Dynasty can teach us a LOT about the New World of Work, particularly the importance of following passion. Yep, I am officially promoting Duck Dynasty as a role model for the New World of Work!
You’ve created your personal brand and you’ve gone out and marketed yourself, so what’s next? If you want to continue to build your brand, there is always work to be done.
Previously we covered creating a personal brand— how important it is in the new world of work. The next step is to generate awareness about your brand. In essence, you must market yourself.
Today’s New World of Work requires everyone to consider their personal brand. Whether you are a C-Suite executive, a mid-level manager or a contractor, the first thing any potential employer will do is search for your name online. What will they find?
There are three CHOICES we make in the moment, all the time when we seek Abundance on Purpose. We make choices all the time…every moment of every day. Having more awareness brings these choices into our consciousness.
Even though the lesson of “You Get What You Focus On” is one of the many things I am known for, I’ve noticed that people struggle to not only to adjust focus, but also to maintain that change. How can we actually change what we focus on?
I’d like to introduce a new way of measuring success. Regardless of what you’ve been told, start-up success is not measured in a linear manner. Goal posts set us up to fail. Guide posts, however, accelerate success.
In uncertain times, generating extra income can be a source of comfort. Whether you suddenly find yourself at home and unable to work, or you have a few extra hours without a commute into the office, it’s a good time to focus on growing your side hustle.
Growing a conscious business is very different from growing a traditional business. As entrepreneurs, we prioritize serving customers, taking care of our employees and making a positive impact in our community, IN ORDER TO make money.
Business should be a force for good. We've found that the majority of entrepreneurial companies are conscious. There are actually four types of conscious entrepreneurs who are driven by two factors: meaning and impact.
Conscious entrepreneurs are everywhere, even if it is isn’t obvious at first glance. Consciousness is an inner game; it’s the heart and soul of the entrepreneur.
We are on the cusp of a huge shift in cultural and business values. I believe it will be conscious entrepreneurs who ignite the revolution and power it to the next level.
Your meaningful business isn’t just a way to make money—it fuels your passion to make a difference. But, if you’re like many conscious entrepreneurs, you may not be focusing on fundamental steps that are key for growing a business.
Don't want to spend money on ads? Do you hate selling? As a successful serial entrepreneur, let me show you how to think differently about this challenge. Learn how to authentically generate demand.
If the thought of selling and promoting your business strikes fear in you, there is good news! There is a way to grow your business WITHOUT selling. It may be time to consider a more authentic approach to demand generation.
Being entrepreneurial doesn’t necessarily mean you’re meant to be an entrepreneur. Some people with entrepreneurial traits just can’t hack it as entrepreneurs. In fact, many entrepreneurial types find more success and joy working for somebody else.
Are you like most 9-to-5ers, “working for the weekend," only to have the Sunday Night Blues kick in with a vengeance? If you can relate, it may be time to consider new career options. For me, I chose learning how to start a business.
Writing and editing was my side hustle and something I had done here and there in past jobs and on the side. I’ve always loved writing, but I never thought I could transform that passion into a business – until the checks started coming in.
There are a million things you’ll need to learn to run your own business. The good news is if you can get clear on the answers to three foundational questions, you can gain confidence that you are on the right track and moving in the right direction.
Living your passion is hard work—but you can’t beat the rewards. EarthHero founder and CEO Ryan Lewis believed the pain of not trying to start something that matters would have been greater than any pain endured in launching his dream company.
At the end of each year I make a list of lessons and insights to take with me into the next year. It’s become an amazing and powerful ritual. For the first time, I want to share them publicly.

Being entrepreneurial doesn’t necessarily mean you’re meant to be an entrepreneur. Some people with entrepreneurial traits just can’t hack it as entrepreneurs. In fact, many entrepreneurial types find more success and joy working for somebody else.
We hide. It’s true, whether we want to admit it or not. We hide from criticism, from judgment, from differences; we even hide from who we really are. Why? What would happen if we broke through our barriers and became who we truly are?
Answer truthfully—do you enjoy the work you do? Or are you stuck in the wrong job? Finding the position you are meant to be doing is much easier said than done. Many people simply go with the flow and don’t even attempt to pursue a purposeful career.
Whether on a new career path or your first job, beginnings are exciting. You are filled with hope and confidence that you will make an impact. Until that is, you don’t.
One thing I know for sure is that the concept of karma is REAL. If you’re not familiar with karma, it’s simple. Karma is the spiritual principle of cause and effect where the intent and actions of a person influence the future of that individual.

By now you've heard something about the new world of work, and probably have sensed my passion about the topic. But there is something you don't know...that will either strike fear in your heart, or put joy in your step.
Unless you have been under a rock, you are quite familiar with Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer’s recent ban on working from home. And you are quite familiar with the various opinions on the subject. So it really begs the question – is there a good answer?
We know that jobs are moving from the cube to the cloud, and that anyone capitalizing on these virtual work opportunities will be well-positioned for career growth. And yet most are fearful of making this transition.
You’ve created your personal brand and you’ve gone out and marketed yourself, so what’s next? If you want to continue to build your brand, there is always work to be done.

Why is it that most women-owned firms are still one-person shops? What is it preventing women business owners from aggressively growing their business so that they achieve financial independence?

For decades I’ve tried to understand why some people are able to break through barriers and grow, while others remain stagnant and stuck. The simple answer is “fear is the only thing holding us back.
Writing and editing was my side hustle and something I had done here and there in past jobs and on the side. I’ve always loved writing, but I never thought I could transform that passion into a business – until the checks started coming in.
For decades I’ve studied every mindset tool, eagerly trying to make the Law of Attraction work consistently. Face it. Few people can apply the Law of Attraction and get results every time. For some, it works just occasionally or not at all. Why is that?
The soul is what drives us to grow, achieve, search, learn - all in a singular quest to become more. Whether a business or a human, if we squelch this life force, the process of dying ensues. We are either growing or dying and the choice is ours.

Is wanting more a bad thing or a good thing? My answer is a flat out: it’s a GREAT THING! The desire for more is not your selfish ego, but rather your soul. That’s right. Your soul communicates to you through desire.
We don’t have to be limited by “or.” If the way we view and think about life doesn’t create the results we want, then it’s time to think differently. It’s time to embrace “AND.”
Over the past nine years, the Succeed On Purpose team evolved our programs and tools to world-class status. And, we’ve helped thousands along the way. Now, it’s time for a bigger stage.

I didn’t know what I know today—that I could have served myself better had I taken the time to uncover my true passion and the steps necessary to find meaningful work.
The season of giving doesn’t mean you have to drain your bank account or max out your credit cards. Believe it or not, most people prefer spending time and making memories with loved ones versus receiving a gift that loses usefulness over time.
As we move into the “season of giving” I’d like to introduce a concept my grandfather shared when I was about 10 years old. It was a monumental insight that changed the way I viewed gifts.
In a world where art imitates life, it is curious how our society is willing to accept the presence of frightful things. Let’s make a commitment to face the fear epidemic with the only medicine that can cure it -- faith.

Chapter Four of my first book, Succeed On Purpose, was the second most difficult chapter to write. The painful memories of that event will be seared in my mind forever.
I enjoy escaping reality on occasion and love all the action-packed superhero movies of late. I adored Wonder Woman, and was thankful to see that DC managed to get it right. But there is more than just character development in this movie.
