from Performance Intelligence · host Andrew May
Purpose might be the most searched-for feeling of the decade. Everyone wants it. Almost no one can tell you what theirs actually is.We treat it like buried treasure, something you stumble onto if you journal hard enough or hit the next title. Then we lie awake, wondering why it never quite lands. What if purpose isn't found...but rather it's designed.That's how Richard Burton rebuilt his life. At 37 he walked away from a well established career after a garbage truck reversing outside his window at 4:50am finally said what he'd hidden for 9 months..."I can't do this anymore..."Richard found his purpose the hard way, then turned it into a method he now uses with executives, elite athletes, and teenagers still deciding who they want to be. So if you've ever typed "how do I find my purpose" at 11pm, this one's for you. One question before you press play: if a garbage truck woke you up early tomorrow morning, would you sit up because you can't wait to start your day, or because you can't do it anymore? 03:05 Why purpose is important 08:20 Richard's "garbage truck wake-up call" 15:50 How Andrew discovered his purpose 20:00 The parts of the work Richard loves most 29:20 The three levels of being on purpose 41:00 Making decisions on purpose 45:00 The SIM method to finding your personal purposeFind Richard InnerZone: http://innerzone.com.au/ myDesign Education: https://www.mydesigneducation.com.au/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/innerzone/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

With two young children and a third soon on the way, his colleagues, friends and family thought he was having an early mid-life crisis. Richard knew there had to be a better way. A better way to live; and a much better way to help other people live, on purpose.
