Episode description

For those of us working we are probably working for the following reason(s): 

  • Money
  • Helping others
  • Passion
  • Love for what you do
  • Accomplishment 
  • Responsibility 
  • Stepping stone 
  • Purpose 

To get through the hard times generally we need a combination of those reasons!

Know your why, every single why

  • Why you work
  • Why you work for your company 
  • Why you have the job you have 
  • Why you work with the team you work with 
  • Why you work for the boss you work for 

Once you full understand your why you can start to understand the meaning behind it all, some examples might be: 

  • Awesome project 
  • Life changing mission
  • Huge, challenging goal 
  • Moving the needle 
  • Paying off debt 
  • Supporting your family 

The why or several whys may fall into different buckets or categories: 

  • Mission
  • Work = income 
  • Responsibility 
  • Type of work
