00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:07,350
Lesson to this lesson is called how to establish your why, and it will show you how to determine what

2
00:00:07,350 --> 00:00:09,180
motivates you in life.

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:18,720
So to sum it up, your why is what your passion is, this is what separates humans from other animals.

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,970
In my opinion, it's our desire to thrive, not just simply survive.

5
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:29,100
So we all have this vision of what our perfect, ideal life looks like.

6
00:00:29,430 --> 00:00:35,280
And this is a vision that's in our head and something that is commonly referred to as the originator

7
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,850
of your Why is a TED talk by Simon Sinek?

8
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:42,840
And it's the talk about how great leaders inspire action.

9
00:00:43,290 --> 00:00:47,850
And what he describes is that you're why is your purpose?

10
00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:49,950
It's the reason you get up in the morning.

11
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,560
It's what motivates you to take action.

12
00:00:53,190 --> 00:00:55,680
It's what keeps you focused each and every day.

13
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,800
No one has the power to take purpose from you.

14
00:00:59,430 --> 00:01:02,160
But while it is yours, many can share your purpose.

15
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:08,430
Aligning shared passions, shared beliefs and shared value is how one finds common purpose.

16
00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:10,260
So what does that mean?

17
00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:15,720
That means that your why is why you wake up in the morning.

18
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:22,080
The reason this lesson is important and the reason I included it is because you need to know what your

19
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,130
why is.

20
00:01:23,490 --> 00:01:29,640
You need to know what your purpose is because this is what is going to help you when time gets tough.

21
00:01:30,030 --> 00:01:33,870
And the truth is, no one has the power to take your purpose from you.

22
00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:39,120
But while it might be yours, many people might be motivated by the same thing.

23
00:01:39,420 --> 00:01:45,540
So when you start to look at other people's common purposes, you'll start to understand what motivates

24
00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:47,730
you, and this is really going to help you.

25
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,060
And this is how millionaires act and how they think.

26
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:56,910
They're very, very aligned with their purpose in everything they do is with that in mind.

27
00:01:59,130 --> 00:02:01,900
So to find your purpose, how to establish your why?

28
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:08,700
First, look for patterns in your life to find what your wife is looking at, what you do, what you

29
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:11,430
do with your time off, what do you spend your money on?

30
00:02:12,380 --> 00:02:14,450
So ask yourself what motivates you.

31
00:02:14,780 --> 00:02:21,050
For me personally, like we spoke about previously, the freedom of everything the personal, professional

32
00:02:21,230 --> 00:02:24,620
and financial freedom is what motivates me.

33
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:27,020
But for you, it may not be the freedom that much.

34
00:02:27,020 --> 00:02:29,840
It might just be being able to provide for your family.

35
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,450
It might be being able to take time off for when you want be in control of your own schedule.

36
00:02:35,690 --> 00:02:41,210
Or it might be to just have nicer things in life and live in a nicer area and have a nicer car.

37
00:02:41,510 --> 00:02:47,990
There's nothing wrong with that, but dig a little bit deeper and ask yourself what really motivates

38
00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:49,040
you at your core.

39
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:52,160
If you had all the money in the world, what would you be doing?

40
00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:56,010
Dissect what your perfect life looks like.

41
00:02:56,310 --> 00:03:00,780
Start to break it down and ask yourself, why do you want the things you want?

42
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,690
That's going to help you establish what your why is.

43
00:03:04,650 --> 00:03:08,400
And like we said before, you know, everyone is inspired by different things.

44
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:14,880
And that's one of the other beautiful things about freelancing is that it helps you achieve what you

45
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,330
want.

46
00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:17,730
It's all about what you make it.

47
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:23,740
And if money wasn't an object, dissect it more, what would your life look like?

48
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:28,670
What would you do not only like what would you, what car would you drive and what house would you live

49
00:03:28,670 --> 00:03:29,720
in, like we said before?

50
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,120
But go deeper even than that.

51
00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:35,270
What would you do every day if you didn't physically have to work?

52
00:03:35,870 --> 00:03:39,890
Because as humans, we want to contribute to things.

53
00:03:40,130 --> 00:03:45,140
And once you're not kind of stuck in that vicious cycle of paycheck to paycheck, just paying your bills,

54
00:03:45,590 --> 00:03:47,720
that's when you can actually do what you want.

55
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,270
And that is what your passion is.

56
00:03:50,510 --> 00:03:55,100
So if you're not at that level yet, that is what freelancing can do for you.

57
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,740
And you need to shift your mindset and understand that you need to have passion in the back of your

58
00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:02,710
head with everything you do.

59
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,610
And then what, Mark, do you want to leave on this world?

60
00:04:06,910 --> 00:04:09,620
Ask yourself, what do you want your legacy to be?

61
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:15,310
So for me, I want to empower myself and others to have true freedom over their lives.

62
00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:17,650
For you, it might be something else.

63
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,590
And that is what you need to tap into.

64
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,850
This is what is going to really help you start up, it's going to help you get off the ground because

65
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:28,920
your why is your fuel?

66
00:04:29,220 --> 00:04:31,620
It's what motivates you when things get tough.

67
00:04:31,620 --> 00:04:37,830
So what I recommend right now write down what your wife is and not just right now, but every single

68
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:38,190
day.

69
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:39,960
I like to do it in the morning.

70
00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:41,640
You can type it out.

71
00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:46,340
There's a lot of power of physically writing things down and journaling, and just taking that couple

72
00:04:46,340 --> 00:04:48,210
of seconds will help align your mind.

73
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,600
It will remind you why you're doing all of these things because it's not easy to become super successful.

74
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,690
But when you do the things you know you have to do in that you're learning in this program and you keep

75
00:05:00,690 --> 00:05:01,530
your why?

76
00:05:02,070 --> 00:05:03,720
And your purpose in your heart.

77
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,990
It makes it completely possible and achievable.
