In the entrepreneur and personal development space, we often hear people talk about the importance of finding your true purpose and making sure your life is aligned with that. This has become such an important topic because for most of us, this is not something we learned about in school. Now that we have social media and people idolizing and wanting to model their life after an illusion of someone else’s life, this doesn’t set us up for a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life. So how do you know if you are following your purpose? It can be a long journey, and that’s okay. Ted Bradshaw is here on the How’d It Happen podcast to share his journey and insight on how to find your purpose through the 6 life essentials: Mind, body, soul, nutrition, money, and relationships.
Ted Bradshaw served as an executive with Xerox and IBM, then left the Fortune 500 world to explore entrepreneurship. What he found was a long string of success that looked great on the surface. But underneath it all, he felt anxious, exhausted, and stressed, chasing money wherever it led and wondering why he never felt fulfilled. Along his journey, Ted gained valuable insight into how a person can achieve fulfillment in all aspects of life and he shares those insights with his best-selling book, Stop Chasing Squirrels. Ted now lives his passion in helping others find theirs. Ted is a speaker, author, Expert EOS Implementer™, and Community Leader for EOS Worldwide.
In this episode, Ted shares why he built and left 7 businesses, and his belief that everything truly happens for a reason. Ted guides us through uncovering our purpose, and what needs to be aligned in order for us to understand that purpose and live a life that is fulfilled. With Ted’s passion for finances, he also shares strategies for re-evaluating your relationship with money to ease any stress you have surrounding the topic of money or budgets. Ted is full of wisdom and insight, and you don’t want to miss tuning in to this one.
