How to know your life purpose in 5 minutes

This is the best way, that I have seen, to articulate your life mission easily: 

"Now we're going to put this all together kind of in a sentence, OK?

• who are you?
  
• What do you do?
  
• Who do you do it for?
  
• What do they want or need?
  
•  How do they change as a result? 

 Now, why is that formulation so powerful?

Because of all of those five things that you need to know to know what your life purpose is, only two are about yourself.

The other three of them are about other people: who they are, what they want or need, and how they change as a result.

That formulation forces you to be outward facing.

....the most successful people in any field always focus most on the people that they serve than on how they are served themselves.

Happier people make it a point to make other people happy,

 Or you might say: "I help people get great work into the world,"

if your life purpose is:

"I train entrepreneurs and creative people to take decisive actions, so they can get their greatest work into the world."
