DEANNA'S BLOG

This week's vlog is a mommy brag because my children were able to accomplish some of their goals for the summer.  Find out how they lived in their purpose!

Hey there, are you ready for another Purposeful Hustle hack? This hack is another time saver you can do so you can find more time to live in your purpose. When I'm able to do this, it completely changes my entire week.

Hey there friends! This week I want to talk about Purpose as a Multiplier. Understanding, living, and working in your purpose is definitely a life-changing experience.  What happens when your purpose multiplies in other people?  Watch the video below to find out. 

Big dogs, little dogs...it didn't matter!  I was afraid of them all.  Keyword: was.  Now, I love dogs!  This week's vlog uncovers the technique I found to overcome my fears and how you can use the same in your life!  

"Deanna, where do you get all that energy from? You always seem like you're so full of joy." I get these comments often and I love when people say it.  I'm so happy most of the times because I spend all my time thinking about purpose and how I get to live in my purpose. When focused on purpose, finding joy is not a stretch. 

If living out one’s purpose was easy, everyone would be doing it. But it is not easy. Even if you know what your purpose is, you might not know how to live in that purpose. It may feel like there are a lot of obstacles in the way of the difference you want to make. That is where hustle comes into play. Purpose is WHY you do something. Hustle is HOW you get it done. So, you’ve gotten to the point where you can name your purpose. You know what lights you up, and have pieced together how your unique passions, skills and experiences can be channeled to have the most positive impact on the world, but how do you pull it off?

When considering what your unique purpose is in the world, it’s essential to reach into your roots. Only YOU have lived YOUR story. Where you have come from has made you who you are, and in many ways, has positioned you to pursue a purpose that is meant for you. Before you look forward boldly into your Purposeful Hustle, one of my biggest pieces of advice is to look back. You may be surprised what you learn about yourself that helps you articulate what you think your purpose is. You may realize you have special skill sets or insights that have specifically prepared you to make the impact you want to have in the world.

Making a change in this world requires really hard work. It requires long hours, strategic scheduling and pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone regularly. It requires taking chances that may feel ridiculous. But more than anything, no matter how hard you hustle, to truly have a positive impact in the way that only YOU can, you need PURPOSE.

It’s not always easy to put yourself out there, especially if you’re already surrounded by a supportive community of people who want to see you live into your purpose, but meeting new people and expanding our network is essential to growth. Especially if you are looking for more support and encouragement in pursuing your purpose, I cannot overstress how important is to find YOUR people.

Networking can be fun. There, I said it. I’m that person who’s trying to convince you that networking isn’t totally awful. But really, if you take a new approach, something that is inevitable can actually become enjoyable.
