My Soul Purpose Story
If you would have told me about Soul Purpose five years ago, I may have said something like, “Sounds great, call me when you land back on Earth.” When it came to my specific set of talents and abilities. I just never gave it much thought at all. This post is a journey through my Soul Purpose discovery process. When it came to having ability, I knew that there were some things that I did very well. Even easier to pinpoint was the list of things that I didn’t do well. ( Isn’t that always the case? We are always so good at what we suck at.) The problem is
The One Thing You Don’t Know About Yourself That Others Already Do
The underlying theme of this blog is based on the powerful concept of Soul Purpose. When it comes to understanding our strengths , it seems to be one area that we really suck at figuring out, until it’s too late. Knowing our strengths is the one thing that everyone else already has figured out about us long before we ever do.

Creating a nonprofit structure around your service idea may be what you need to utilize your passion and make a living doing it. I was talking recently with a colleague about their passion.

Spending too much time trying to figure out what your business should look like?
Have you ever thought about starting a business and then wondered what you could actually do out in the marketplace? Have you ever stopped wondering about it as soon as you realized that the answer wasn’t sitting right in front of your face? The reality is that for some, a business opportunity does fall into your lap. For most it does not. For the people where the business does seem to fall into their lap, I would bet that in the majority of the cases, they put themselves in a position to receive the opportunity. It didn’t just materialize into thin air. What to do for the rest who may
