Your personal why is the core reason that drives you: it is the purpose, belief, or value that inspires you to wake up each and every day. Understanding your why helps align your daily tasks with your bigger picture, making life more meaningful.

In financial services, we are faced with complex challenges, high-pressure situations, and the desire to build trust with other financial professionals. Having a clear personal why acts as an anchor, providing resilience during setbacks and fostering authentic relationships.

When your work aligns with your core purpose, you are more likely to:

• Stay motivated during tough times
• Deliver genuine service
• Differentiate yourself
• Experience greater job satisfaction

How to Find Your Personal Why

• Reflect on your values: what principles matter most? Is it integrity, growth, security, or community?
• Identify your passions: what excites you?
• Evaluate past experiences: recall the moments you felt fulfilled
• Consider your impact: recognize where you make a difference
• Create your “Why Statement”: summarize your purpose in a single sentence

Applying Your Why to Your Career

• Set purpose-driven goals
• Build genuine relationships
• Seek opportunities
• Stay inspired

Discovering your personal why can bring clarity, motivation, and a deeper sense of purpose to your journey; a journey we are embarking on together!

Until next time,
