003 | Your BIG Why: Not Just Another Stupid Exercise

What You'll Discover In This Episode:

Why It Is Important To Find Clarity On Your BIG Why
How Your Big Why Anchors You To Your Goals
Why Entrepreneurs Need To Be Visionaries, Not Just Executers
If Your Big Why Can Change
What Questions To Ask To Identify Your BIG Why
So Much More!

In this episode, I introduce the idea of your BIG Why, discuss how having clarity is vital to your success, and talk about my own BIG Why which drives every business decision I make.

I also weigh in on whether or not your BIG Why can be superficial, discuss the effects aggressively pursuing your BIG Why can have on your life, and go over the questions you should ask yourself to determine your BIG Why.

I hope you’ll enjoy my episode on your BIG Why and encourage you to make the effort to figure out your own purpose behind your determination to succeed in business. Now let’s get to the straight talk!
