Another class in the series, How You Can Sell $250 Million In Real Estate, hosted by Derek Tye with Keller Williams Seven Hills Realty. This session focuses on Defining Your Big Why? Class Notes: What is a Big Why?: Its a Purpose: A compelling purpose that propels you through your life. Its Your Dream: The big dream you have that is unique to YOU! Its Larger than Life: Its even Bigger than your goal! Your Goals will come out of the Big Why. Its Your Mission: Your Personal Mission is what have you been uniquely called to do in this life. You will develop this. Its about You: What do you really want in life! Why develop a Big Why?: Because Why comes before the What: Most people focus on stuff and money. I believe that you need to know why before you know the what you want in life! When you figure this out, you are going to work harder, smarter, faster and more diligently than the next person. Because you are headed for Burnout without it. Fact: You will burn out if you don’t have a big why Because you need Momentum: Your Big Why will help you persevere through the murky middle when things get hard or unclear. This will help you make the little and big decisions Because You care about others on your journey: Your Big Why can help motivate others around you to contribute to your collective success! How do I develop a big why?: Ask yourself: What is my definition of success? Ask yourself: Am I living someone else’s dream, vision or goal or my own? Ask yourself: Are my goals self serving or do they also involve seeing others succeed? Ask yourself: What are my Core Beliefs? Ask yourself: What do I want others to remember me by when I am gone? Example: My personal mission is to build, inspire and love people so they live up to their God given calling and live life to the fullest. What does this mean to me? Next Steps: Develop a Strong Personal Mission Statement. There are plenty of books and online resources for this. Or get a coach to help you. Put your Mission Statement and Big Why somewhere prominent. Start with your bathroom mirror. Office wall. On your cars dashboard. Share your Mission Statement or Big Why with family, friends and an accountability partner. Make sure others you care about know what your big why and personal mission statement is every day. Read it out loud every day. Every day. Every day. Out loud. Yes, you. Give yourself permission to change it over time as you grow. Yes our goals, dreams and mission may change over time.
