Before you shift to “want to” — get clear on this
|
Your “Why” is what turns freedom into fulfillment In my last email, someone asked:“Who’s going to pay the bills while I make this shift?” Today, I want to zoom out and answer a different question: What makes this shift sustainable? Here’s what I’ve learned: You can’t build a life of “want to” if you’re not clear on what truly matters. Freedom without purpose gets boring. Money without meaning gets empty. Time without a “why” just turns into a distraction. That’s why the first step in your Epic Encore isn’t figuring out how to earn. It’s rediscovering why you want to. Why now? Why you? Why does it matter? When you reconnect to your “why” everything changes. You start choosing from alignment, not fear. You stop chasing random opportunities. You start building something that feels like you. Your “why” is the compass for your Encore. And here’s the good news: You already have it. We need to uncover it. In my next email, I’ll show you how I did exactly that and how it led to a business and lifestyle that finally fit me. But for now, here’s your reflection: What did you love doing…before the world told you to be practical? That’s where we begin.

It turned out to be one of those events we will remember forever. Last month I was cleaning my office and picked up The Boron Letters book by Gary Halbert. This is a collection of letters Gary wrote to his son, Bond while he was in prison. I sent an email to Bond to see if he was interested in being our guest speaker. "Hell YES!" he replied. I knew John Carlton was very close to Gary so I asked him if he wanted to join us and share some Gary stories. "Hell YES!" he replied. I asked Brian...

When your job ends, especially after 25 or 30 years, it’s not just the paycheck that disappears. It’s your title… your team… your routine… and the quiet confidence of being someone who knows what they’re doing. You went from “VP of Sales” or “Director of Operations” to… well, what now?
