The alarm goes off. It’s 6am.

Do you hit snooze? Or do you get up, full of purpose, ready to tackle the day?

Without a WHY, you or your business are a ship without a sail, floating in the wind.

Purpose and values are critical from an organizational level to an individual level.

Purpose builds loyalty, longevity, and creates a community. It is necessary to achieve your longterm vision. And it’s good for impacting your bank account as well, even though making money is never someone’s real purpose! Forget about the “what” and “how” of your business, and start with the “why”…

But how do you go about discovering your purpose?

Learn how the turning point for College Hunks Hauling Junk’s success was discovering its purpose and values. Nick has a framework for discovering your own purpose and values, and ingraining into any organization or personal path to success. Let him share it with you.
