Episode 82: From Paycheck To Purpose by Ken Coleman

Do you work just to live or do you feel connected to your purpose as you work?

Ken Coleman is the nationally syndicated host of The Ken Coleman Show & author of From Paycheck to Purpose.  He wants people to feel a real connection to what they were created to do because someone out there needs them to do it. 

Ken shares how to find your dream job through clarity. He explains that your passion, talent, and mission intersect to make up your personal mission statement.  This then answers the question: What should I do with my life?

Ken and Bradley discuss how to become qualified for the job change or career pivot you desire.  They also discuss the differences between networking and connecting.  Ken wrote The Proximity Principle to help you improve your connections.  You need to consider who you know, and write down those people.  Then, consider who you can ask for help.  The key here is asking about something rather than asking for something.  Most people love to give advice!

If your dream job is tied to a promotion, Ken also has some advice to ensure you’re positioning yourself to receive that promotion. Finally, they talk about the challenges of knowing what to do, but struggling to get started.  Ken identifies the three main villains standing in the way of everyone’s success: Pride, Doubt, and Fear.  He breaks down how to deal with these thoughts and diffuse them to move forward.

If you’re ready to step into purpose and pursue your dream role, listen to this podcast!
