Transcript:
This is episode number 68 of the Better Life, Better Work Show. And I am thinking through some new concepts or new revelations today that I want to talk with you about. Today’s episode is called Empowered Personality, Purpose, and Profit. I’m having some really amazing insights around business and life, and you know for me those are connected. I’m very deeply entwined and in love with, and a part of my business. I identify with this I … My business, my profit journey, and my spiritual journey are intertwined. The journey of who I BE is intertwined in these three concepts.
I want to share with you how these three are connected and see if I can help you come to an even more empowered place in your personality, in your purpose and in your profit. The first thing I’m thinking about in the context of business, and if you are watching or listening, you can extrapolate this to fit whatever vehicle serves you. Today I’m going to be talking about the vehicle of profit and purpose. My purpose is being fulfilled in every moment but it has the container of my business around it. Many of the people I work with are fulfilling their purposes through the vehicle of the services they provide.
First, we have to go back and look at the context of the society, and the marketplace, and the evolution of what we’re in right now. One of the things I notice in the market place is that many people are marketing and teaching, and guiding business owners through is traditional marketing. And yet we have … We are smack dab in the middle of history and change. I don’t know if you all remember …I remember a lot of the history I’ve studied. I remember a lot of the essence and the energy in high school and college studying history.
Actually, I remember actually my fifth senior year in college taking a history class and I saw, for the first time ever, the value of studying history. I got how we can track and watch history. I noticed the evolution of change, not as a series of events but how society changed. And so we’ve had … We have come from living from the earth to this highly technical and industrialized society. And we’re in the middle of change right now. Do you guys realize that there are jobs today that did not exist last year? Many of us and many of my clients are doing paid work running small, “company of one” businesses.
Many of my clients are running businesses that did not exist five years ago, 10 years ago, certainly didn’t exist 20 years ago. And so this old … I don’t want to call it old because for some people and some products it’s still relevant. There are certain things that are being sold and people are building businesses about that the ways of selling them haven’t changed. The places you sell them might change, right? And as you guys already know, I love looking at real estate because real estate was where I first joined the entrepreneurial world, it’s where I got a lot of sales training, it’s where I began connecting personal growth with a business so I’m very thankful for that. And when I started in real estate they were just getting emails. Everybody still faxed everything, people still had beepers.
I remember when I bought my first house that you had to … my realtor had to go get the MLS sheet from an MLS book at the office. It wasn’t digital like it is now. And so just as I watched my real estate clients and colleagues change the way they do business… many of my clients are with a brokerage that does everything through technology and it is a cloud-based brokerage.
