Purpose and Peak Performance | Guest Ken Coleman

This week, we had the pleasure of Ken Coleman to join us to discuss his latest book, From Paycheck to Purpose, which has just been released.

Ken Coleman is the #1 nationally bestselling author of The Proximity Principle and nationally syndicated host of The Ken Coleman Show. Pulling from his own personal struggles, missed opportunities, and career successes, Ken helps people discover what they were born to do and provides practical steps to make their dream job a reality. The Ken Coleman Show is a caller-driven career show that helps listeners who are stuck in a job they hate or searching for something more out of their career.

Ken will take you through the seven stages from paycheck to purchase.

(1) Get Clear
(2) Get Qualified
(3) Get Connected
(4) Get Started
(5) Get Promoted
(6) Get The Dream Job
(7) Give Yourself Away

Now you're no longer working for income. It's about impact.

Where can people start? There are three indicators that every human being comes into this world with they're inside of us.

(1) Talent
(2)Passion
(3) Mission

When we get the answers in those three buckets, we have everything we need to write a purpose statement and a purpose statement sounds like this.

I was created to use what I do ______________________. To do work that I love _______________________. To produce results that matter deeply to me _______________________.

When someone knows those three things and can write a purpose statement, now that purpose statement becomes a compass. Which points them in the direction they're supposed to go, and out there in that direction are multiple jobs, career paths, and even dream jobs that will allow you to live and work on purpose.

"When you're clear, you are confident. And when you are confident, you can be courageous to finish the journey." - Ken Coleman
