So if you’re ready, let’s dig in…

Key Principle for a Fulfilled Life

Before we get into the 3 steps, there’s one simple principle you need to understand.

To be fulfilled, you need to pursue your Purpose, NOT someone else’s.

If you’re not fulfilled, if you’re frustrated, you feel like your job’s just a waste of time, or your business isn’t fulfilling any more, all it means is that it’s not leading you down the road to your purpose.

If you keep doing that, you’ll keep feeling frustrated, and you’ll never lead a meaningful life.

These are the most common examples that we see.

You’re in a job, and you’re feeling frustrated. The simple reason is you’re pursuing your boss’ purpose, not yours.

Or perhaps you’ve started a business, and it’s taking up all your time, you might be doing well or perhaps you’re still struggling to get it off the ground, but it’s draining you – you’re always fighting for the next dollar – that’s possibly because you’re pursuing money as the purpose, or your clients or customers purposes and not yours.

You see, either way, you’re not pursuing your purpose. You’re pursuing something else, or someone else’s purpose. And until you start pursuing your purpose no quick fix, like a job change, or looking for the next opportunity, none of that is going get you feeling fulfilled.

But we see that all the time, in fact, I’ve been guilty of it myself.

I was a corporate lawyer for 20 years, up till 2016. I’ve been in jobs that I loved, and jobs that well, let’s just say, I didn’t love as much. Sometimes I stuck it out, other times, I found what I then thought, was a better job. Perhaps it paid more, or promised better work life balance, or whatever. But what they had in common, was that they were never fulfilling. Even if the job was objectively better, it was only a matter of time before work disagreements or office politics happen, and the endless meetings.

The truth is that none of those things actually mattered. Because as long as any of us doing work that’s not aligned with our purpose, not furthering our individual purpose, then it’s always going to be frustrating.

And if you’ve ever been on the job ‘merry go round’, you’ll have no doubt, thought to yourself, “same bleep, different place…”

And that’s why they call it a merry go round, cos it keeps you going in circles, except, in this case, it’s not so merry, is it?

So, now that you understand the principle that you will never find fulfillment
until you’re doing work that is aligned to your purpose, that leads you to your life’s purpose, we can get to step 1.

Step 1: Get really clear on your Purpose.

To make sure our students don’t take our programs and then find themselves successful financially, BUT unfulfilled down the road, we get them get really clear on their Life’s Purpose right from the outset.

We get them to do an exercise on this, but I’ll give you the real quick version.

Basically, it goes like this – How do you want to be remembered at the end of your life?

Isn’t that simple?

Some want to be a great parent. Others want to be known as an inventor, or musician, or a great spouse, or whatever. There’s no right or wrong answers.

If everything you did with your life leads you to how you want to be remembered at the end of your life, will you be fulfilled doing it?

Of course you will! Sure you’ll encounter challenges, but if you know that whatever you need to do in order overcome that challenge, is leading you to how you want to be remembered at the end of your life, isn’t it worth fighting for?

And to help our students out with that, they go through our Quad Purpose Program, where we teach our first signature program, 4 levels of purpose. Beyond getting clear on their life’s purpose, we help them ensure that every step they take leads them there, so achieving their life’s purpose becomes all but inevitable. Then we do a deep purpose discovery, and that makes overcoming all those challenges feel effortless because it’s driven by their strengths and their values…

But for today’s exercise, all you need to do is get clear on how you want to be remembered, and keep that top of your mind as you make decisions.

I’ll tell you the big danger of doing this – once you get clear on your Life’s Purpose – that job that was frustrating, that’s going to be even more frustrating, cos all you’ll want to do then, is to keep taking steps towards your Life’s Purpose.

In the rare instances when you job might lead you to your Life’s Purpose, then great, but most of the time, knowing your Life’s Purpose THAT clearly, and not being able to head towards it every moment of the day, cos of financial or time constraints, that can lead to greater frustration.

Which leads me to Step number 2.

Step 2: Get rid of those financial and time constraints, and start being able to afford to live your purpose

One of the biggest mistakes we see people making before they come to us, is that they believe that they need to find an opportunity to “make it big”.

They also believe that a lot of these opportunities aren’t accessible to them. That only the wealthy have access. And so the scour the internet, looking for one guru or another, and when they hear of opportunities like the latest crypto currency, or that the world economy is going to collapse and gold will rally, or whatever, they pounce at it, and they think if they MASTER it, like the job they’ve done for 20 years, then, this will be their ticket to freedom.

They believe that once they master it, they’ll be able to afford to live their purpose without those financial or time constraints.

And that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, that’s the exact behavior that keeps people from ever getting wealthy enough to live their purpose.

There are 2 elements to that that I want to point out. The first is the risk of going after specific opportunities in that way, which I’ll get into a little more in step 3. The other element is that they try to master it.

Because that’s what they’ve always done. Mastering schoolwork gets you a good job. They did that, and now they’ve got a good job. Perhaps they struggled in the beginning, but over the years they got good at their job, they’ve now got some form of mastery.

So they believe that they need to master this new income stream, this ticket to freedom.

And so they go all in, they take it seriously, like another job. And the irony is – they’re getting themselves INTO another job! But they’re determined to make it work, cos it was so difficult getting this opportunity, because they believe that good opportunities are rare.

And with those beliefs, who can blame them for trying to master it. But mastery takes a long time, and effort, and stress.

And a lot of them don’t get it to work, because mastery is just that hard. But perhaps you do, through sheer grit. And now you’ve got to maintain it with the same amount of effort that you needed to get it to work.

Cos if you build with mastery, you need to maintain it with mastery – that same level of detailed effort. And that’s literally another job!

Now, what if I told you, that the wealthy, those of us who can afford to live our purpose, who don’t need to worry about working for the next paycheck, most of us have 5 or more income streams.

If you took the mastery approach, you’ll have 5 jobs. And what do you get with 5 jobs – possibly fired! Cos no one can do 5 jobs well. And you burn out.

So how do we manage to have 5 or more income streams and still manage to live a life of purpose?

Well, the answer is, we don’t try to master our income streams. Instead, we use a system I call purpose led proficiency, or Purpostry.

Imagine you need to drive your kids to school, or cook dinner for them. You don’t need to be a master driver like F1’s Lewis Hamilton or NASCAR’s Richard Petty. You don’t need to be a master chef like Gordon Ramsey. And you need to let your purpose, which is to drive your kids, or cook for them, determine the level of proficiency you need.

Hence Purpose Led Proficiency.

Everyone automatically does this. You probably are too. Right? The problem is that most only apply it to cooking or driving, or anything else other than their finances. They use Purpose Led Proficiency to drive their kids – and its fulfilling – to cook for their family – and it’s fulfilling. Because they believe a part of their purpose is to be a great parent. So driving their kids isn’t a chore.

And that’s the best part about applying Purpose Led Proficiency to your income streams, are that 1 – your income streams no longer need to be mastered – so you can get them working for you in less time, and with less effort and stress; and 2, they’re fulfilling.

So, why are most able to apply Purpose Led Proficiency to their daily activities, but not to their finances?

Well, over the years I’ve heard many reasons, but the few most common ones all revolve around fear. And this comes in various forms. First, they fear that if they don’t master the skill they’ll lose money. And another form of fear is the fear of missing out. They want to master it so they can in their minds, justify betting big on it, because they believe that opportunities are hard to come by and that’s their once in a lifetime ticket to freedom, when the truth is, it isn’t. There’re good opportunities everywhere, once you learn to look for them.

Now, if you have fallen prey to these false beliefs, the way to stop that from happening, is to do what the wealthy do. The wealthy apply Purpose Led Proficiency to their finances. And we can because we’re not looking for that one ticket to freedom. We’re building a portfolio of 5 or more income streams.

A question I get really often is this – isn’t it dangerous not to master our income streams? The answer to that, and the solution to the fear of missing out, are both in Step 3.

Step 3 – the answer to the question – “isn’t it dangerous not to master our income streams”, and the solution to the dreaded FOMO or fear of missing out…, that makes us take bigger risks than we should…

And the answer is… you need to manage your risk.

A lot of the time, you hear about risk management in the financial world as downside protection or not losing too much money.

But if there’s one thing I learnt after 20 years of corporate law, and being actively involved in private equity deals where we’ve invested in companies that have exited close to a billion in public market IPOs, is that risk management is a lot more than ‘not losing money’.

In fact, if you manage risk well, risk management can actually make you money. I’ll get to that in a second, but the point will be clearer after this.

One of the biggest lies that most have consistently been told – is high risk, high reward. Frankly, this is complete and utter rubbish.

But most have been told this so often, they believe it. So they use that to justify the FOMO in their minds, and going all in on that “amazing” new opportunity. Cos they think that’s their ticket to freedom, and so they do the math, and they figure if they put in a lot more money than they should, they could make millions, so they do. Put in more than the should, not make millions. In fact, too much money, from good hardworking honest people, has been lost that way, and that’s one of the reasons I’m making this video.

I can tell you that the wealthy NEVER do that. We manage our risk. We think in terms of portfolios, or probabilities of wins and losses, the impact to our portfolio. And there’s a whole system of math around that, math that can help us be consistently profitable, even if we’re wrong 50% of the time or more.

That’s right, if you manage risk and put in the right structures, you can be consistently profitable even if you’re wrong.

I go into more details on exactly this in my free Lifestyle Income Workshop which I told you about earlier.

Once you can see that, then there’s no more FOMO because opportunities are everywhere, hidden in plain sight!

Instead of high risk high reward, we consider the returns the amount of risk taken. So, rather than thinking we need to take more risk to make more money, we think of how we lower our risk to get more reward in proportion to the risk taken.

Because compounding is a large part of how we grow our assets. And you only compound what you keep. If you ‘win some and lose some’, play the high risk high reward game, you’ll never build your assets and income streams to a point where you can live your purpose with complete peace of mind.

And that’s the key to being able to afford to live your purpose. Grow your assets and that will automatically grow your sustainable passive income streams. And you’ll never fear or complain about inflation again, cos once you’re in that position, the more inflation there is, the more your wealth grows, and that’s how you can afford to live your purpose with complete peace of mind.
