Ep091 - Lessons from the Hermitage Pt.4 - Reconnecting to Purpose

Are You Running in Every Direction But Going Nowhere? Ever feel like you’re busy but not fulfilled? Like you're making progress, but maybe not in the right direction? In this episode, we return to the hermitage one more time to dive into reconnecting to purpose — getting clear on where you’re going and why. If you’ve been feeling scattered, stretched too thin, or questioning if you’re on the right path, this episode is for you. We’re unpacking key insights from my time in the Hermitage and breaking down a framework to help you align passion, purpose, and profit.

IN THIS EPISODE:
- Why success in many directions isn’t the same as success in the right direction
- The 4 P’s of Purpose—how passion, people, proficiency, and profit must align
- The importance of niching down and speaking to your tribe of one
- How to let go of distractions that are keeping you from stepping fully into your calling
- Why making space for FUTURE YOU is the key to breaking through

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Purpose gets diluted by distractions—the more you say yes to, the less clear your mission becomes
- True alignment happens when you find the intersection of passion, people, proficiency, and profitability
- Saying no to the wrong opportunities makes room for yes to the right ones
- Scarcity says, “Take everything.” Confidence says, “Stay focused.”
- FUTURE YOU is waiting—but only if you create the space to step into alignment
