Hi, my name is Mike Pettigrew. I'm a best selling author and I've been a serial entrepreneur since 1987 and I help ordinary people to achieve extraordinary goals. Now, I've got a lot of really valuable content for you today. A very short, short video, but I'm going to share some really helpful information with you that can possibly change your life. Okay. But before we get started, I just want to say that if you want to get to the next - your next level of success, abundance and wealth, checkout my Ultimate Success Club at www.achievegoalsfast.com/USC that's Ultimate Success Club. So a lot of people come to me because they want to achieve their goals faster. They want to get ahead in life, they want to become more successful, to grow their finances, to live life to the full. And you know what, so many of them tell me the same thing.

Speaker 1: (00:56)
They've tried all sorts of things. They spent time and effort and energy and nothing seems to work. Nothing seemed to work. And I completely relate to this. I completely understand this because back years ago I tried all sorts of goal achievement systems and nothing seemed to work for me. I'd spent all this time, all this energy and effort to no avail. And you know what? I came to the point where I just felt, what's the point? What's the point of even trying, putting in all that time and energy just to hit a brick wall and nothing happening. So if you've ever experienced this yourself, I completely get this. I completely get the, so what I say to people who come to me and tell me these things is that you've got to find your life purpose. If you want to transform your life, if you wanted to get to the next level of abundance, if you want to be more successful, you've got to be very aware of your life purpose.

Speaker 1: (01:55)
Now what do I mean by that? Why is finding your life purpose so important? Well, finding your life, your major life purpose. It's one of the most important things you can do in your life. Becoming aware of your own purpose. It's so important. A lot of people aren't sure what their life is about. They don't find their purpose and their life drifts. So becoming aware of your purpose is fundamental to creating the sort of life that you want rather than society dictating it for you. Okay? And most people never do this. Most people never take the time to ask themselves, what's it all about? Why am I here, and what should I be doing? And as a result, they just settle for mediocracy and second best. But if you're really clear on what you want, if you're really clear what your life purpose is, you open up an amazing pathway to achieve anything that you desire.

Speaker 1: (02:49)
It's that simple. It's that effective. So this is what makes you completely different. You're watching this video. This is a really good sign. You're watching this video because you, you want to to get ahead faster. You want to achieve a better life. You may have come so far and you may have had some hard knocks - I'm not sure, but I can guarantee you by, by looking at this thing - life purpose, what was impossible for you before will become possible. So finding your overall purpose gives energy to every area of your life. And lack of purpose -let's look at the opposite. Lack of purpose means a directionless life, it means low energy. It means poor results. It means your life drifts. Okay? That's lack of purpose. Deep sense of purpose - if you have a deep sense of purpose, you have great joy and fulfillment and the impossible becomes possible.

Speaker 1: (03:46)
The impossible becomes possible. So finding your life purpose, it's very easy to do. You may have some good idea of what it is - you might want to fine tune it and just make - you know, make it more sharply into focus - I'll help you do that in the next couple of minutes. So what's our life purpose as a human being? Why are we here in this world? This guy here is Aristotle. And this is the question. This, what's our purpose as a human being? This is the question all philosophers have tried to answer, including, uh, Aristotle. He said, happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence. So he's saying that happiness comes from knowing our true purpose and living that purpose. When we know our true purpose and we live that purpose, it's incredibly fulfilling. That's a life of fulfillment rather than if we're not clear, we can drift and that can, we can end up feeling really - a what's - just really disillusioned with life, more of the same, settling for a mediocre life, and we're born to be all we're capable of becoming.

Speaker 1: (04:56)
And it's not nearly as difficult as most people think. Okay? So living your purpose, living your purpose. And this guy here is Confucius. Confucius said, choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. Choose a job you love and you never have to work a day in your life. And the reality is, the sad reality is a lot of people get trapped in a job they hate because they are not clear what they want. They're not clear about their life purpose. So this is very sad, but if you know your purpose and you live into your purpose, you gain so much joy and freedom from that. I'm very fortunate in that I love what I'm doing and it does not feel like work. I'm talking to you from my home here in Ireland. I help people all around the world.

Speaker 1: (05:51)
People all around the world are watching this short training video and I love what I'm doing and it makes a difference. So if you are trapped in a job that you hate, there is a better way. And it's quite simple to change course. Okay? So what I'm saying here is it's vital to find your purpose. It's vital. So we become deeply happy and truly fulfilled when we find our purpose and we become a powerful catalyst for change in the world around us. Okay? So how to find your major purpose. Okay? There's I think five steps in this very simple strategy, this very simple exercise. Step one, explore your passions, your skills and your past experiences. Get a piece of paper, get a pen and do this exercise. So step one, you ask yourself, what activities make you feel most alive? What are the things that you love doing?

Speaker 1: (06:48)
Okay? If you knew you could not fail, what would you love to do if he knew you couldn't fail? What would you do if you a, if you were a billionaire, what would you spend your time doing? If you had all the resources in the world and all the skills and wisdom you ever needed, what would you do? What would you spend your life doing? What do you enjoy learning about most? I love learning. I learn all sorts of different topics. What do you love learning about the most - write it down. What issues have been a constant theme throughout your life? We all have themes in our life. The same sort of events happening more than once and even though sometimes it can be unpleasant, there's great learning in that and that learning can help other people avoid the same mistakes. What do you enjoy talking about most with others?

Speaker 1: (07:41)
What makes you feel most alive when you're with friends? The conversations, the topics. What kinds of giving is most rewarding for you? You know when you give it's, it makes you feel wonderful. If you give of your own time and energy and you try and empower other people, it's so rewarding. So what kinds of giving is most rewarding for you? What have you struggled with most throughout your life? As I said a moment ago, those struggles can be great learning experiences and can give you skills that you can then pass on to others. Okay? Helping them avoid the same pitfalls or just giving them empowerment, helping them realize that they have the resources within themselves to change within themselves to change their circumstances. What are your most unique talents that you would excel in? It could be anything. We all have all sorts of unique talents.

Speaker 1: (08:40)
There's only one us in the world, and you may be a great listener. That's a wonderful talent. So many different talents that everyone has. Everyone has unique talents. What are yours? Write them down. Okay, so that's step one, steps two to five. Step two, ask yourself, how could I use these passions, skills, and experiences to also help others? Write down all your ideas. Write them down. Step three, the one that gives you the most excitement, energy and enthusiasm. And that also contributes to your inner growth is most likely your current major life purpose. Very simple, very, very simple. Step four, create a mission statement that reflects your choice and step five fine tune and improve that statement until it feels just right. This may take a little bit of time. So what do I mean by a mission statement? It's like a, it's a, a statement you write down for yourself that keeps guiding you, uh, in your, in your, your life.

Speaker 1: (09:45)
It's very, very important. So create your mission statement. This is an example. Mine and yours will be completely different. My mission statement is to inspire, motivate, and empower people so that they can achieve their goals and become deeply happy. So that's mine. To Inspire, motivate and empower people so that they can achieve their goals and become deeply happy. And I read that everyday - I've reminders that pop up on my phone reminding me that - it keeps me on course. It keeps me on course. Otherwise we can get very distracted. But when we constantly return to our mission statement. As I say, the impossible becomes possible. Amazing things happen as a result. So you need to create your own mission statement - don't use my one. Create your own mission statement based on the previous steps. And it takes time to create one that truly fits.

Speaker 1: (10:35)
It may change a little bit over time. So even in a few months from now, you may be using the same mission statement or it may become clearer to you. You may change the words. Words are very, very powerful. So mission statements of famous people. These are just examples. This is Tony Robbins - to make a significant difference in the quality of life of people. And this is Oprah Winfrey - to be a teacher and to be known for inspiring my students to be more than they thought they could be. Richard Branson - to have fun in my journey through life and learn from my mistakes and Martin Luther King - to unite people and promote equality. Really simple. This five step exercise - it will take you a bit of time, but its so well worth doing. The alternative is to not be clear on what you want, and your life will drift. You will react to changing external circumstances.

Speaker 1: (11:35)
There's one guarantee in life - things will always change, but are things changing in the way that you want or not? For most people, not. Okay. So I hope this short video has helped you.
