In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge talks with Paul Tembunde, Co-founder and CEO of Premier Destiny. Drawing on over two decades of experience in the home care industry and his journey as a transformational coach, Paul shares how shifting your identity, cultivating a growth mindset, and building a service-focused business can lead to true personal and professional fulfillment. If you're looking to rediscover your purpose and align your work with your calling, this episode offers real strategies to help unlock your highest potential.
Paul emphasizes that your identity is not your job title, your past, or your current situation—it’s the self-image you hold and the beliefs you carry about what’s truly possible. He encourages entrepreneurs and professionals alike to regularly self-reflect, ask meaningful questions, and challenge limiting definitions of success. This process of "identity auditing" is central to Paul’s coaching approach and helps uncover blind spots that often hold people back from stepping into their greatness.
A strong growth mindset, according to Paul, means rejecting victimhood and embracing your power to create change. He recommends replacing limiting self-talk with empowering questions, surrounding yourself with growth-oriented people, and always staying curious. Paul also stresses the importance of identifying your "zone of genius"—the unique intersection of your passions, natural strengths, and ability to serve others. When work aligns with this zone, it becomes deeply fulfilling.
As someone who built a thriving home care business with his wife, Paul shares how delegation was key to scaling. Letting go of tasks outside their core strengths allowed them to focus on strategy and growth. Today, Paul helps others enter and succeed in the booming home care industry, and continues coaching professionals through Premier Destiny. At the core of his message is this: fulfillment comes not from chasing profit, but from using your gifts in service of others.
