SUCCESS
STARTS WITH WHY What’s Your 'Big Why'?
If you want to be truly successful at what you do, you need to get to the core of who you are. You can read every self-help book out there and receive all the information you need to drastically change your life, but if you don’t understand what drives you, your desired results will be elusive. Finding your motivation doesn’t require a pilgrimage to a monastery or committing to an intense introspective process. Instead, it starts with one simple question: Why?
drawn to in life? Most importantly, how do you define success? Your "why" is the driving passion that defines your life. It’s not just the understanding of what makes you do what you do; it’s the realization of who you are. Take a minute right now and jot down the answers to the aforementioned questions. Starting with why is one of the most important concepts that defines your investment future. If you can’t latch a purpose onto your investments, you’ll never fully reap the benefits your portfolio can bring. We believe the same goes with life.
Everyone has routines and habits, and you likely know exactly how to succeed at those daily tasks. But what we often lack is the " why ." This may seem a bit existential and a little odd, but it is at the core of what drives us. Simon Sinek wrote a book entitled "Start With Why" that explores this subject. We tend to focus our lives on an outside-in approach. We recognize our actions and those of TAKE A BREAK!
others, and we subsequently understand our lives through that lens. What if, instead, we focused on an inside-out approach? Rather than the reactionary thought of starting with what , we can have a life filled with proactive purpose by starting with why . This means we need to find our "big why." What gets you out of bed in the morning? What are you passionate about? What are you
