Your strategic plan should also fulfill your purpose in life-Part 2-examples
Why your business strategy should also fulfil your personal purpose in life.
- When formulating your business strategy for growth, it’s important to be clear how that will also help you to fulfil your personal purpose in life.
- Research has confirmed that profit-potential for your business alone, rarely sustains people in the long-run. It’s really about your personal purpose in life, about “who you want to become”.
- It’s not a destination or an outcome. It’s about every step along the way. Every challenge you face and how you grow every day.
In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, finding our purpose in life, who we want to become in our lifetime, seems more important than ever.
Purpose is the pivotal force that runs throughout the fields of our personality, emotions, motivation, perseverance & consistency.
There are many ways that people look at their personal purpose in life. Read on for examples from 5 credible sources-including Tony Robbins

- When it comes to finding personal fulfillment… seeking it externally won’t work.
No amount of money in the world will make you happy if you’re unhappy on the inside - Your personal sense of purpose should be derived from your core values. So, defining your personal and businesses core values would be a good place to start.
- Once you have clarity on your purpose, you can make choices based on what your future-self wants, instead of being constrained by any limiting beliefs of your past or present self.

1. From a Business Viewpoint, this article from Ernst & Young (EY) is comprehensive:
What is purpose and why do we need it?
A couple of the quotes from this EY article caught my eye.
– Purpose works as a means of setting boundaries for what an organisation will and will not do as part of its growth strategy. In addition, particularly when addressing complexity, purpose can serve as a lens through which to view the big strategic picture.
– Human nature. Purpose can be used to tap into our basic human need to be part of something greater than ourselves – to contribute to a wider group or bigger goal.
2. From a spiritual point of view, one of my mentors, Neil Donald Walsh, the best-selling author of the “Conversations with God Trilogy” summed it up in a few words: “To create yourself, to create who you are. To express, to experience, to declare, to fulfill, to be, who you really are.”

3. The University of Minnesota defined Life purpose as follows: Your life purpose consists of the central motivating aims of your life—the reasons you get up in the morning. Purpose can guide life decisions, influence behaviour, shape goals, offer a sense of direction, and create meaning.
