‘Your purpose is trying to shine through. And if you are a late bloomer, rejoice! It’s never too late to Find Your Purpose and thrive. As Steve Jobs said, ‘If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.’

‘Your purpose needs to be flexible enough to embrace the changing flow of life as it evolves. Understand that the reed that bends is the reed that survives the storm.’

‘To successfully pivot toward your dream, new direction, adventure, or lifeline you not only need to Find Your Purpose, but it is essential to Believe in it.’

‘Everyone sells by creating value for others.’

‘Whatever your dream or goal is, remember that Believing in Possibilities is not magic. You must believe deeply enough in yourself, sustain that belief in yourself and others-enough to weather the inevitable naysayers, storms of doubt, and obstacles that will come your way in the process of making things happen.’

‘Secure a personal board of directors who will tell you the truth.’

‘Everyone can’t have a front-row seat in your life.’

‘When you honor your passion, you create a road map that keeps you ahead of your competitors and in the game.’

‘Don’t advertise what you don’t have– it can undermine your efforts.’

‘How you present yourself has an impact on your potential for success.’

‘Prune your life to what brings value and positivity, so your passion has room to flow.’

‘To position yourself to succeed in a challenging work environment, start by confronting the facts. Don’t ignore reality…’

‘Greatness in work, art, and science requires obsession over quality and an extraordinary attention to detail.’

‘Don’t just see yourself as an employee- see yourself as an innovator of work. Hunt and cure pain points, ask stupid questions, and zoom in on how you can redesign and create value for others.’

‘Follow your passion at all costs and no matter how hard you work.’

‘To avoid the extremes of too little or too much collaboration, top performers discipline collaboration: they carefully select which collaboration activities to participate in (and reject others), and then follow specific rules to make the chosen activities a success.’

‘When you narrow your scope of work and jettison less important tasks, you free up time that you can spend outside work.’

‘Work on how you work, not on protecting your life from your work.’

‘To maximize your collaboration’s chances of success, you need a forcing mechanism to assure that your collaboration receives sufficient time, effort, and financial support.’

‘Don’t let a single disruptive person prevent the entire team from implementing a decision that has been well argued.’

‘To vanquish opposition in the workplace, you must do more than persevere. You also need to tailor your tactics to neutralize opposition from people.’

‘To inspire people and gain their support, line up high-arousal emotions on your side– make them mad and fearful about the present, and joyful and excited about your proposed future goal.’

‘People with a strong sense of both passion and purpose are more energized, getting more done in each hour of work (and they don’t work many extra hours).’
