Back to Episodes39 How to Find Your Purpose and Redesign Your Career Around It | Richard Burton
Description
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?
