PURSUE MEANING
“Being human always points, and is directed, to something or someone, other than oneself—be it a meaning to fulfill or another human being to encounter. The more one forgets himself—
by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love—the more human he is.”
-Viktor Frankl
reflects who you are and what your interests are,
allows you to share your gifts to help others,
provides a community of believers that will support your dreams, and is financially viable
given your desired lifestyle.

• add value before asking for favors
• seek co-leadership opportunities
• invent your own path even within a large company
• Invest in others: join exponential communities
THE PATH TO MEANING•ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS: Discover your WHY.

•Use social media, but don’t let it use you
•don’t do what you love, serve the people you love
•Build your own BREAKTHROUGH advisory team
•START SMALL, SET A DEADLINE
