My name is Joshua and I have a new life in Christ. See if one of these questions fit you. You're restless. This isn't it, even though there's nothing obviously wrong. Maybe you're successful by every measure and quietly burned out and unsatisfied. Maybe you're between chapters, you just had a liquidity event, sold a company or something big, and you're wondering what's next with your life. Maybe you're really good at what you do, but you're no longer filled with joy from doing it. Maybe you're busy all the time and not sure any of it's actually what you wanna do. Maybe you've arrived and it's emptier than you thought it would be.

Now, here's what I learned: 0:42

most capable people don't lack drive, they lack clarity. They can't name their work that's actually theirs, who it's for, and whether it's worth their life energy or not. So I created a few questions. Maybe these will help you. it helps me and my clients create clarity in what they're focusing on, and, I just thought it might be helpful to share it with you. Here they are. In order, you must answer these.

Number one: 1:09

Who is God? That's the ground you build on.

Number two: 1:12

Who am I? Not what you can sell, but how you're made. What gives you joy? What gives you strength? What's your unique value proposition?

Number three: 1:22

Who do I serve? Your purpose lies within your people.

Number four: 1:27

What do I do for them? This is where the work itself starts flowing out through how you're wired. A lot of people start with, "What do I do for a living?" But you gotta answer these in order.

Number five: 1:41

How do I do it? Now, this is the way the work gets done, the systems, the processes, your unique spin on it.

Number six: 1:48

What's the yield? What it returns. So yield is what it returns, but it's also what does it cost you to get it?

Seven: 1:55

End with why. Why do I do it? That's the resolution. That's where the work stops being a performance and becomes a part of your worship. Now, walk those in order and see what they land on for you. most frameworks start at the overlap. They tell you to go monetize it. This one doesn't, because I believe that an optimized business is a part of your, your calling. It's a part of your hedgehog at Good to Great. But I encourage you to walk through these, and I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Now, they're written out in the link below. You could go walk through them yourself, but if you'd rather walk through it with someone else, happy to do so. There's a link where you can book some time and, join me in one of these coaching calls. But anyways, I think that these questions are helpful, and I wanted to give them to you. Onwards, guys.
