Ever since I aired episode #56 on “Your One Big Crazy Goal”, I’ve received so many DMs and emails from you guys. So. Many. And they all say some version of the same thing, which is “But I just don’t know what I really want.” 

If that’s you, I want you to know that you’re not alone. 

“I don’t know what I want” is absolutely one of the most common things my clients say. And if you think about it, that’s not particularly surprising. After all, we’re talking career and business on this podcast. So, knowing what you want is ideally guiding you along your path. I mean…who wants to get 10, 20, 30 years into your career, only to find yourself miserable and going through the motions. Living for Fridays and dreading Monday mornings. 

It happens to too many of us.  

To reinforce this theme, episode #3 of this podcast which talks about “Knowing what you really want” is a different way into that same topic and it just happens to be the most listened to of the podcast even though it’s a year old now. 

And I’m sure you’ve heard friends, family (or maybe even yourself) say something like, “Well I know what I don't want but I have no idea what I do want.”

This is a human challenge. It’s not unique to you. 

So, I share all of that because I want you to know that if you haven’t figured out your thing yet – even if you’re well into your career at this point – you’re not alone. And the sad truth is, some people NEVER do. Because it takes a little work.

And I REALLY don’t want that to be you. Because I believe that knowing what you want is related to your purpose. To the reason you’re here. Without getting too into the woo here, I believe we all came into this world with our unique set of strengths. And those strengths are strongly related to what we’re meant to contribute to the world during our time here. I deeply believe this.

So, because this theme of not knowing what you want is so widespread, I wanted to do an episode dedicated to anyone who hasn’t yet connected to their heart’s desire. And I wanted to give you five steps to doing that.

Notice I didn’t say ‘easy’ steps. Because while it’s very important that we do connect to what we really want and these five steps will get you there, it’s kinda complicated. And here’s why. Because to really connect to it, you’ll have to get past the voices of others and your own inner fears so you can listen to the part of you that knows the truth. 

And while I know it might not feel that way right now, you DO know the truth. Some part of you DOES know what you want. There’s just been a lot of distraction and noise and outside influences that have gotten in the way. And it’s made it really hard to hear what that part of you is trying to tell you.

I did a worksheet for this episode to help you do the exploratory. So, you might want to hit pause while you go out to thepurposefulcareer.com/whatyouwant and download it.

Also, we’d just love to get to know you. 

So, this episode is going to be a good one. It’s going to be a very step by step how to with a little context behind each so you understand some of the issues that’ll come up for you as you try to connect to what you reall
