Find fulfillment - Find your WHY

I imagine a world in which the vast majority of people wake up every single
0:07
morning inspired to go to work and come home every single day fulfilled by the
0:11
work that they do. My hope is that this course takes us a little further down
0:16
that path. If people learn their WHY, it makes them better qualified and more
0:20
importantly more confident to choose the careers, choose the jobs, and find the
0:24
companies that create environments in which they are more likely to be
0:28
inspired and feel fulfilled. And that's the goal. The discovery of WHY was not an
0:32
academic exercise or commercial exercise. It was something deeply, deeply personal.
0:37
I had a small business and after a few years had lost my passion for what I was doing.
0:42
People gave me silly advice like "do what you love." I was doing the same thing,
0:46
I didn't love it anymore. Thanks to the confluence of some events
0:49
I discovered this naturally occurring pattern. I knew what I did and I knew how
0:53
I did it but I couldn't tell you why. And I realized I had to answer that question
0:56
if I was gonna find that balance and so I became obsessed with answering this question,
1:02
Why do I do what I do? Not only did it restore my passion, it restored it
1:05
to levels I'd never experienced before. And as we do when we discover something beautiful
1:09
we share it with the people we love.
1:10
And so I shared it with my friends and my friends started making crazy life changes.
1:14
And they invited me to share it with their friends and I would show up
1:18
at someone's apartment and literally give a little talk about this discovery I'd made.
1:21
And I would just get more and more invitations and this thing just
1:24
sort of spread organically and its really changed the course of my life and
1:28
changed the course of my career where now I'm completely devoted to spreading
1:33
this idea and helping people either find their passion or amplify it if they already have it.
1:37
Having a job we love is a right and not a privilege.
1:41
It's not for the chosen few.
1:42
And so my hope is to share this idea with as many people as possible
1:47
so that indeed saying "I love my job" becomes the standard and not the exception.
1:52
I used to do the WHY Discoveries myself that's how it began.
1:57
I would actually help my friends learn their WHY. I used to sit down with them
2:01
and go through this process, it took hours, where I'd ask them all about their
2:06
life and try and see the patterns to try and discern their WHY. And it was great
2:09
and highly effective but I was the only one doing it, so I shared it with others
2:13
and there was a few of us doing it but still, you know,
2:16
there was this desire to do it with more people and so we took this process
2:19
that I used to do manually and took everything that I learned and put
2:23
it in this online course but it's basically the exact same thing I used to
2:27
do by myself so it's it's really fun to see it come to life in a course.
2:31
The best thing about the WHY is that it's a biological constant, it has nothing to do
2:35
with what we do. It's based on the biology of how we make decisions and
2:39
what drives us and motivates us, which means that it doesn't matter whether
2:43
you're retired or whether you're a student, it doesn't matter what industry you're in.
2:46
This course is designed to help people understand what makes them tick
2:50
and what drives them, what inspires them, And that's why I'm really proud of this.
2:53
I mean this will give people something to grasp on to and find inspiration
2:57
and fulfillment and in everything they do, hopefully for the rest of their lives.
3:00
All you need to do is have the will and the desire to want
3:03
to understand what drives and inspires you. And that's why we designed this course.
3:07
It's designed for people to find that thing, to understand the thing that
3:11
gives them their true north and helps them wake up every single morning
3:15
inspired and come home fulfilled, I mean, who wouldn't want that?
