73| Finding Your Anchor: The Power of Knowing Your Why
Welcome back to another episode of Dropped In!
In this episode, I discussed the importance of finding purpose and anchoring in one's "why" in the face of challenges and moments of doubt.
I began by sharing a powerful quote: "If you aren't fantasizing about selling everything and moving to a deserted island, you're doing business wrong."
This quote encapsulates that growth and expansion often come with discomfort and resistance. It reminds us that entrepreneurship is a journey filled with ups and downs, but staying true to your purpose is key.
I reflected on my moments of temptation to escape and sell everything, but ultimately, my purpose and passion for supporting my clients on their journey to reclaim their power kept me grounded.
I emphasized the importance of understanding your "why" in whatever field you're in - whether you're an author, speaker, or coach. Your "why" drives you, keeps you up at night, and wakes you up in the morning with a sense of purpose.
As I prepared to relaunch Unshackled and celebrate 11 years free from an eating disorder, I shared my journey of feeling alienated and alone in seeking help. These experiences fueled my deep-rooted "why" in revolutionizing individuals' relationships with themselves, their bodies, and food through Unshackled. I emphasized the power of vulnerability and authenticity in sharing my story to connect with others struggling.
I encouraged listeners to reflect on their "why" and the driving force behind their work. I recommended Simon Sinek's book "Start With Why" as a resource to help clarify and anchor their purpose; by understanding and embracing their "why," individuals can stay motivated and focused on bringing their gifts and offerings to fruition.
