Define your WHY: Powerful Goal Setting

In the short video above filmed at King’s beach in the sunshine coast, I talk about why it is so important to Define your WHY for powerful goal setting that will manifest at lightning speed.

Before you can Define Your Why, you must FIRST have a specific goal in mind. Saying “I want to make a lot of money” is not specific enough. How much money do you want to make every year? Even month? Where in the world do you want to travel? What kind of person do you want to spend your life with? Whatever your goal is, define, clarify, specify.

Once you have done that you can properly define your why. When I say “Define your Why” I mean WHY do you want to accomplish that goal? What is the core driver? What feeling are you after? Is it your family? Children? Do you want to travel the world? Do you want to start a non profit organisation or do humanitarian work? Do you want to go back to school or jump into a new industry or career? Start defining your WHY.

I’ll share a little bit about my WHY. Recently I decided that I wanted to start my own business online that would allow for me to build passive income and build a team. My WHY is my family and my love for travel. See, my partner’s dream is to open up his own restaurant & bar. As I have many years of experience in the hospitality industry I know that this kind of business requires A LOT of hours, money and commitment. I want to be apart of his business and help him as much as I can. I won’t be able to do that if I’m working a 9-5 job in order to bring in money for us to survive while he is setting up his business. The rest of my family also lives in Canada while I am in Australia, and I want the flexibility to be able to fly home and spend some time with them when I want, not when a job says I can take time off and for how long.

Incase you couldn’t tell by the location of the video, I also LOVE the beach! That’s one of the reasons I moved to Australia. I’m all about a lifestyle where I can visit the beach and travel the world whenever I want. Who WOULDN’T want that??

But in all seriousness, each of us has different goals, different dreams, and different core drivers for WHY we want something. Define a WHY that is unique and meaningful to you. Write it down, post it somewhere where you can see it every day, and watch what happens! Having clarity is the FIRST step in manifesting your goals at lightning speed.

And let’s not forget that here we’re all about loving the journey along the way, that’s why this blog is called “Journey of the Soul”. I have not accomplished & manifested everything I want yet, but I am having the time of my life while I work on them and LOVE seeing the results that are happening along the way!
