Blueprint for Building a Practice on Purpose

Have you ever seen a skyscraper being built? If so, you know that for the first several weeks or months, very little appears to be happening, at least above ground. That’s because the initial work is focused on building a solid foundation. The higher the skyscraper is designed to be, the more solid the foundation needs to be to support all those stories.

The foundation of a Practice On Purpose is what I refer to as “Clarity of Purpose,” which includes all the components under the ==== line in the diagram below:

  • A PRACTICE ON PURPOSE
  • Balance Your Life & Practice On Purpose
  • Design Your Practice as a Vision Directed, Financially Responsible Enterprise
  • Identify Your Perfect Clients & Develop an Attraction Marketing System
  • Forge a Practice On Purpose Operating System
  • Develop a Championship Team by Creating a Coaching Climate
  • Identify & Move Beyond the Fear-based Culture of Business
  • Create a Practice On Purpose Vision Aligned with Your Life Purpose
  • ===========
  • Gain Crystal Clarity in Your Own Life Purpose
  • Life On Purpose Perspective
  • I. D. the I. P.
  • Clarify Your True Life Purpose
  • Learn & Use the Tools for Living on Purpose
  • Manage Energy not Time
  • A LIFE ON PURPOSE

In other words, if you want to build a solid practice – a practice that will be a reflection of your core values, your vision for what’s possible, and the essence of who you are – you need to start by clarifying your life purpose, which includes rethinking the very definition of what a life purpose even is. That’s why this part of the building process starts with the Life On Purpose Perspective. To learn more about this core ‘shift in thinking’ I encourage you to participate in one of Life On Purpose Institute’s free telesamplers, especially the ones entitled FROM BURNED OUT TO TURNED ON: Rekindling Your Passion for Life through Purpose.

Why is this foundation building process of clarifying your life purpose so important to building a practice on purpose? Because clarity of purpose – knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt what your true life purpose is, is the doorway to tapping into your passion and passion is the fuel that propels your forward that keeps you in the game even when it’s not going in your favor. It’s what allows you to tap into the all important ‘purposeful patience and persistence,’ so vital to building anything of real worth.

Oh, and if you think your life purpose is “being a veterinarian” I would invite you to think again, because as we’ll explore further in this series, a life purpose is something that encompasses ALL of your life, not just a part of it, no matter how important that part is. And your life purpose isn’t what you DO. It’s more about who you are, what you value most in life, and what you see possible for the world. But we’ll get further into that in one of our future installments. In the meantime, what is your answer to these questions?

Do you know with crystal clarity your true purpose? What do you say your life purpose is?

Being able to answer this last one with crystal clarity is key to building a practice on purpose.

Become a Citizen of Who-ville

This past March 2nd was Dr. Seuss’s birthday. He would have been 108 years old this year.  So, I thought it appropriate to spend a little time reading one of my favorite Dr. Seuss’s books — Horton Hears a Who.  After all, I’ve been feeling a little like a citizen from Who-ville lately, so I…

Being coached by Brad  through the Life on Purpose process has truly been life-changing. Not only did he help me to gain crystal clarity about my life purpose, he helped me to uncover what had been holding me back for much of my life. Through the coaching, I became clear about what was the next step that I wanted to take in my life.

My life has gotten better in many ways as a result of the coaching: the major anxiety that I experienced around my work is a thing of the past – I learned why I was experiencing this anxiety, and then how to overcome it and I can’t believe how effective it was.

I have been able to establish a habit of taking daily time for myself to reconnect with what’s truly important – this is something that I had tried and failed to do for 10 years beforehand, so I am so happy to have been able to achieve this.

I have been experiencing so many more feelings of joy, happiness and abundance since the programme, and life is just so much better. From Jonathan Dudley — a 30 year old IT Professional (turning Life Coach).

“I had always felt like I was not living up to my potential and that there was something more to life- something more I “should be doing”. What I discovered was that what I thought my life purpose was actually my parents/culture’s idea of what I should be- not mine! This was transformational and allowed me to finally decide for myself, based on my own passions, my true purpose. My Divine Purpose is now conscious and drives all decisions and choices I make in my everyday life.” Julie Chapman after clarifying her life purpose through the On Purpose Program at her spiritual center.

“I am just so delighted with everything you, this course, and the Life on Purpose Institute has given/provided to me.  Thank you, SO very, very much.

I have finished working through your book. It has been a very enjoyable and revealing process. My life on purpose is a life of freedom rooted in wholeness, beauty, truth, order and love. A life of worship, inspired action and full self-expression.

I was especially excited when you spoke about the Purposeful Project.  Wow, what a great idea!  How to get people out in the world being their true, serviceful selves.  I say serviceful because I have an inkling that even if someone doesn’t consider their life purpose to be one of service, or see that as a value of theirs, I don’t see how anyone couldn’t be of service to the world if they are living their purpose out loud.” Peggy Vervalin who clarified her life purpose in Living the Fulfilled Life teleclass.

Immediately I got my final wording sorted it ‘clicked’ it fits like a glove. I have such clarity, it has been great for examining my behaviors and how I relate to others, and for helping me to make quality decisions. I had so many synchronicities in the following days after clarifying my life purpose and continue to do so. A sure sign that I am on my path and that is very fulfilling, even without taking into account my planned purpose projects.

My self-esteem has received a huge boost. I am delighted that I committed and persevered. And one of the lessons God has been bringing to my attention is that ‘commitment and perseverance bring their own reward, a reward that can come no other way’. Which will stand me in good stead as I live out this purpose.

I look at my life purpose and it is truly the essence of me, and the essence of the possibilities I see for others and the world we live in.” Jayne from the United Kingdom

I’m Jude Eastman in Virginia.  I’m a reading specialist and teacher.  I’m also a life and soul coachJudeeastman.

My original Life on Purpose work in 2006-2007 helped me figure out who I was and wanted to BE after losing my parents and my marriage.  I am happy to say that I realized I am  the only one who has the power to decide my place in the world or my worth and I’m pretty dog gone priceless!  After that I soared -completing a master degree, taking a new job position in my teaching career, and completing coach training.

Recently I was ready to push forward in my second profession as a coach.  The Staying on Purpose group helped me accomplish what I’ve been talking about for three years!  I now have my first coaching workshop on the books, conducted a conference call, picked up some new technology skills.  I found out that doing new things doesn’t have to be stressful, but can be fun and I’m in control of that!

Thanks Brad for keeping me motivated and accountable  in such a heart felt way that was both challenging and safe at the same time!
