By way of reminder.
Our purpose, at BTL, is simple to say, hard to understand, and completely nuts to most.
Our purpose is to Awaken, Challenge, and together Transform a few individuals, teams, and leaders into ONE. ONE, distinct and deeply connected, that is BUILT TO LEAD.
Distinct and deeply connected is the magic. Do you see it?
Every day, this is my compass, my due north, if you will. At the end of the day, I look back on my work and ask myself if I lived the defining statement of my work. I rarely miss the mark. My clients know why I am with them and they know where we’re going. Your purpose statement should guide you in like fashion, or it’s not really of much use.
The P in the acrostic OPUS is for purpose and you’ve not authored yours until it’s more than words on a piece of paper. Your purpose is your “deep why” for your work. The more your why centers around meaning the less you’ll worry about money and the richer your circle of influence will become. The more your purpose focuses on money, the more you’ll worry that it’s not going to be enough. Your circle of influence will reflect this anxiety, mostly without your awareness.
Purpose matters and it’s got to be good. Every masterpiece centers around this statement. This past week, another client of mine authentically authored his own. These are milestone moments and take a long time coming. His came on rinse number 7. Yours will come, but only after you’ve dug deep and pulled it up from within. Funny, the good stuff always comes from within and only after we’ve stopped searching someplace else…
Are you directed by your purpose and aligned to your “due north?”
Are you authoring your OPUS and popping it with discipline?
Are you building CORE strength within and remaining connected with those that haven’t?
Tell me more, my friend.
