Do It "On-Purpose"

The key component in business success is the "why?" Why are you going to work each day? Why does it matter if you go? Why do you have passion? Why do you work hard? Why? Why? Why?

If anyone says it's for the money, they're doomed to follow the money and not the reason people give it to them - it will soon dry up.

If anyone says it's to survive, then that's what they'll do: survive - not succeed, just survive.

If someone says it's because this is my "purpose" then that's how they'll conduct themselves. There will be a purpose to every decision, relationship, hard work and focus. Timing won't matter because your purpose and your service will align. Some call that dumb luck. It's not dumb. And it's not luck. People who have dumb-luck usually have bad luck right behind it so it all balances out.

Have a reason to get out of bed every morning, have a reason to serve customers well, have a reason to treat everyone with respect, have a reason to create meaningful relationships, have a reason to be successful and you will find that you will receive all that is reason-able.

This is not some airy-fairy new-age crap at all. This is tried, tested and true. Have an attitude of "on-purpose" for everything you do and do it "on purpose" and you'll be surprised at how much you see positive changes in your business and career.

Lol, glad you added,' this is not some airy fairy' idea. I get accused of being that all the time because of my attitude. I live with the above purpose and have done so, for many years now.I have flourished and grown so much since, this is the only way to live, so today find your true purpose and see massive chages in your life..
