Recently I attended a live advisor training event hosted by Brandon Stuerke’s, where he posed a thought-provoking question to the audience:
“What’s your WHY for building a successful business?”
The room got really quiet, then all of a sudden hands starting shooting up all over the room as advisors eagerly shared their story and how they were making a lasting impact in their local communities and in some cases around the world.
I sat there taking it all in…being involved in this amazing industry, it’s easy to get swept away with pursuing accomplishments, accolades, exotic trips or breaking “production records.”
One advisor in particular briefly shared with deep conviction his personal mission and project that he is actively involved with. He spoke up and said that he wanted to “automate” his practice, so he could spend the rest of his time dedicated to his service project.
Later at dinner, myself and Fernando had dinner with a small group of advisors where everyone shared their “war stories” and their current service or passion projects outside of their business.
During this intimate dinner, advisors opened up their world to me and shared their “WHY” for doing what they do, and I found i truly inspiring.
One advisor really stood out in his vivid sharing of his latest service project and the purpose, passion and meaning that he experienced from getting involved.
I realize that we usually are sharing content related to growing your business, but I presumed there might be some advisors like myself that would be inspired by Terry’s message.
Check out my interview with Terry as we explore the deeper realms of creating lasting fulfillment and meaning while building a thriving and successful business:
