BUT

In the pit of your stomach you knew it wasn’t?

And you have absolutely no rational justification to walk away from whatever (or whomever) it is.

And you are left with a feeling of ‘eating away at you dread’ if you walk toward whatever (or whomever) it is.

This happens with everything from money making opportunities, relationships, career moves etc.

When this happens your mind starts loudly arguing equally for 2 points…one side of your brain shouts, ‘WALK AWAY…you know it’s not the THING and if you go toward it you’ll end up finding out at some
point and you’ll have to run screaming into the hills…leaving only a dust cloud behind. Why waste your time?’

You are tempted by this side…because it has a point and knows you well.

BUT

The other side of you head whispers 4 words over and over and over and over and over…

‘What if you’re wrong? What if you’re wrong? What if you’re wrong? What if you’re wrong? What if you’re wrong?’

You are equally as tempted by this argument because if you are human one of your deepest fears is that you’ll miss something.

So what do you do?

Well, in my life, there have been times where I have gone with both arguments…

BUT

When I think back to those times when that pit has been in my stomach…

The final outcome has always been that my instinct was right…

So, the question I have for you is…

When you think back…has your gut or your head ultimately been right?

How can you use that to listen to your instincts and take inspired action in your life now?

Leave me a comment and let me know your story!

At this point, you have:

• Created your ‘Purpose List’
• Discovered where in your life you can spend more time on the things on your ‘Purpose List’
• Taken Inspired Action to actively spend 10 minutes a day on something on your ‘Purpose List’

If you aren’t this far along, go back to the other ‘Find Your Purpose’ posts and do the exercises etc. and then come back here.

So what do you do now?

Creating a ‘Purpose List’ and actually finding a way to live your purpose and attract money by living your purpose are very different things.

I need you to use your imagination now AND I need you to promise NOT to judge yourself or the answers you come up with in the exercise I am about to give you. I guarantee you, it won’t be easy because I am going to ask you to ignore what you accept as reality and brainstorm…

Are you ready?

The sooner you do this, and the more fully you do it (even if it seems ridiculous) the closer you are to living your purpose AND attracting money by living your purpose…

Does that sound good or great?

By the way, before we get into this exercise, a word on practicality and what’s possible…

What’s possible is only limited by what you believe is possible…

If Walt Disney, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson and Bill Gates all bought into what most people believe to be possible, do you think they would have achieved the things that they have? Of course not…

Keep that in mind and be brave enough to think big…

Trust me, we’ll absolutely throw out some of the ideas you come up with, but you have to let your brain and imagination run wild to discover your real purpose.

Let’s go…

1. Pull out a pen and paper
2. Set a timer for 5 minutes
3. Brainstorm as many things that you can think of that you could do that combine the top 2 or 3 things on your ‘Purpose List’.
4. Put the piece of paper with everything you just wrote away and don’t reread it, edit it or even look at it again until I tell you to in the next post. (There’s a reason for this, you’re just gonna have to trust me.)

Tips:

1. • Don’t think if it’s possible for you to make money doing it.
   • Don’t skip it if it isn’t something that already exists.
   • Write it all down, every crazy; out there, “How the heck would I ever do that” thought that pops into your brain.

The first step to making money from your purpose is brainstorming, then we can go from there to hone in on your perfect Purpose Driven, do what you love and the money will follow, idea! More on that next time…for now do this step and then put your paper away until next time…

Go Big!
