Something that I for myself have struggled with is fear of failure, where I am a perfectionist, I want everything to go perfect. And I had to understand that you know what, trying to be a being a perfectionist, it's not a strength. It's a weakness because I learned that perfection breaks connection, people cannot relate to somebody who was so perfect. So I had to understand, hey, if I want to connect with people, I have to be more vulnerable. I have to be more open so I had to learn something about why people do certain things for me to be more free and more open and a lot of times as leaders as business owners in which has made herself for those things, or you get so discouraged of like, why am I even trying when you know they don't get it. So this is something that you need to learn right now.

It's going to prevent you from so much suffering. So write this down, broken people. Break others, hurt people hurt others. When you understand this, you don't get so offended by other people, your success is going to be based on how you are able to connect with people. And if you're somebody who has constantly been offended by people, it's going to hinder you in your growth, it's going to hinder your business. So whether it's failure, whether it's somebody who betrayed you or did something wrong, it's knowing these three things.

This is a part of being a leader, so that you don't get the couldn't give the control to other people, whether it's people or your failure. One question that we get often is Richard, how do I find my purpose? Or how do I know that I'm going the right direction? And this is my purpose? How do I know? And this is a really good and important question because so many people, they, they live their lives in a way where they put all their time, their energy, their time, their time, their self, their wealth into this, this goal or into this thing they want to create and it's not even making them happy.

It's not in alignment in what they're passionate about, it's not really in alignment, what they're really here for, for their purpose. So they don't feel content, they don't feel satisfied, they don't feel settled, like they know something is missing. Have you ever felt that way or heard that, like, I don't know, everything was going well, but just something is missing. And a lot of times, it's because you're not in alignment, you're not really fulfilling this purpose that you have of what you're here for. So I want to talk about, okay, how do we figure that out? How do we know what our purpose is?

How do we begin to create more passion, more more motivation, so that we can really, you know, fulfill our purpose. So this is how we do it. So first, you need to understand what passion is. Okay? So when you think of your passion, passion is very powerful. This is a very powerful emotional state.

When you're passionate about something whether it's gonna make you passionately angry, or passionately excited. It's a very, it's like an amplifier right like, whatever a moment. That you have you put that passion in and amplifies that emotion. so passionate, very powerful. So we need to begin to identify, okay, what makes me come alive? What am I passionate about?

And how am I going to use this passion to begin to propel me into my purpose to begin to help me to fuel my motivation in my purpose in what I'm accomplishing. So when we're talking about passion, just understand this way, even the way it's spelled. Passion, pass. I on, pass it on. So when you can take those things that you're most passionate about where it could be, maybe you're passionate about dancing, maybe you're passionate about gardening, maybe you're passionate about teaching and training, maybe you're passionate about, you know, creating, maybe it's painting or producing music, whatever it is the thing that makes you come alive, the things that when you're doing it you just how you feel so good, you lose track of time. If you come alive, those things that you're passionate about, when you can use those things on purpose, for a purpose, when you pass who you are I onto other people, when you use your passion, to pass it on to other people, to empower them to help them in some way.

Now you are getting into your purpose. So when you can use those things that that you love to do those things that you are good at those skills, those abilities, those talents, those things that make you come alive when you on purpose, use those things, to empower other people. Now you are finding your purpose, to use your passion to help others is getting you into your purpose. Did you get that? Alright, so this is what I want you to do. Get a piece of paper out, get a pin or a marker because I'm going to have you write a list of five to start off with the five, five things that you are passionate about five things that you love to do that you enjoy doing.

When you do it, you lose track of time you come alive, you know those things. Okay, I want you to write five. And then let's go to the list. So now we're going to do some critical thinking, we need to think through each of these things of how you're going to use these things on purpose for a purpose. So let's look at the first one. So let's say that you have, you are a great communicator and you're passionate about it and you love to talk to people, you always have this message to give and you want to share it.

Right. So how can you start to use that today? On purpose intentionally, okay? Now, it's one thing to have good intention, but it's a whole other thing to do it intentionally. So how are you going to use this passion? For you to communicate for you to share this message?

How are you going to use it on purpose every day consistently, to empower people around you and get even more specific as to who who are the key people that you're going to focus on? Of course you want to be you know, inspiring and motivating everybody who comes in into your sphere of influence anybody who comes near you, you want them to leave better than how They came, right? So yes, but I want you to be focused on who specifically can really benefit from you, using this passion, this first passion to empower them who what group of people, what kind of people what kind of leads, can this ability can this passion in power, because now you're going to begin to see, okay, I'm really good at this, I'm really passionate about communicating. So who can be affected by who can benefit from this around me right now.

And then you start to create a plan around that, okay, so people in my work, I have people in my family, they could really benefit from this first passion that I have. So now I can be more intentional in impacting those people. So now that passion becomes my purpose. You see how that works. And you move to the next one. Maybe you have a passion for art like from for myself or an example.

You know, I love to paint I love to draw. So for me, what I've done is I use that passion and create a purpose out of it how so let's say you have this thing. Passion called art. Okay, so for me, what I did is I create pieces, you know, I create some big pieces, small pieces of these arts, I get Canvas, I do oil, I do charcoal. Different media's, why because I want to raise money. So I'm going to raise money to empower people.

So I have a nonprofit. So now I put these things in galleries are I do commissioned work, I take that money, and I put it into my foundation to empower people in Africa and in India. See, so now I'm using this thing that I'm passionate about this thing called art to draw. And now I'm being more intentional, doing on purpose for a purpose. You see how that works. So now I'm going to give you a tool that's going to be very powerful for you to generate and maintain this motivation.

So you're going to be able to download this paper this handouts, and it's called the leverage links for change. This is how you're going to learn how to generate and maintain the motivation that you need to really keep going towards your purpose towards your passions towards you creating the legacy and creating the accomplishing the goals that you want. So right here we have the leverage links of change. So there's 10 different things that what you're going to take your goal or this thing that you want to accomplish, or when you start to see, okay, I'm going to use this passion to help these people in this certain way at these times, now that you have that clear, you're going to go through each of these 10 to generate a deeper motivation for yourself. So that way, as you start to go and start to accomplish these things, there's going to be nothing that stops you.

So this is how it goes. So number one, now that you know, okay, this is one of my passions, and this is how I'm going to help someone so or this group, you already have that clear now, right? So now you need to take that through these 10. So okay, have a clear goal in mind and visualize it from start to finish. So now this is you visualizing mentally, you've seen you using your passion for your purpose of what you've already wrote down on your list. So for an example if I am using my dance to go and empower this place that I told you.

So I need to see myself actually go there, I need to see myself, you know, share what I can do for the money to see myself actually begin to volunteer or see myself actually begin to empower these kids and bring them in, actually have to see and visualize myself doing all those things that I know that I can do with this passion for a purpose, you have to see it. And the more detailed that you see it from the beginning to the end, the better for you because you're going to create more clarity, which gives you a more deeper and stronger motivation to really get that done. Now to the next one, write out your goal in a clear step by step way. Okay, so now I see I visualize it. Okay. Yeah, I want that I why I see how I'm going to do it right.

But now I'm going to make it even more clear for myself. Because the more clarity that I have, the more motivation that I'm going to generate and the more that I keep myself clear as I go towards that goal, the more I'm going to maintain that motivation, you understand. So the more clarity Have you have, the more motivation you have, that's something you need to generate and maintain. And this is the tool that will help you to do that. So now that you've already visualized it, now you're writing it out step by step, very clear, you're just writing it all out of what you're going to be doing. It might take a while and might, you know, take a page or two, that's okay.

Because the more clarity that you have, the more motivation you're going to create. Now, number three, what are some beliefs about this goal, that are already in alignment for you to do this? What? For an example Okay, so if I, I, I'm going to use this dance for an example. Okay. So I'm going to go empower these people.

So what do I believe? What kind of beliefs do I have? That's in alignment with doing this? So I believe that, you know, people need help. I believe that people really need some guidance. I believe that people are broken.

I believe that people really need somebody to draw alongside them, to show them what is possible to show them you know that they are good enough like I really believe that so for me to take this down. And to use it to draw up alongside of them so I can inspire them to do that. Now it's me putting some beliefs that I have in alignment, and what do I want to accomplish? That's going to create more leverage for me to actually do it. Now the next one now what values do you have the things that you value, okay? The things that you believe in value or different beliefs are certain assumptions, expectations or rules that you create right now value is something that you experience through an emotional state.

So if you value your families because they make you feel good, that you value the way they make you feel that's according to your values. So what things do you value that are in alignment with you accomplishing this goal so further, going back to the dance, so I value making people feel good making people feel confident making people feel free in themselves to feel like man, I can do this like I have a really great value for that. I value. I have a value for a love for people. I have a value to To empower people. So because I have those values, I know that that's in alignment for with me using this passion for this specific purpose.

It's in alignment that creates motivation for me to understand that. Alright, let's get to number six now. So for number six, you have to begin to figure out even write out a list of the different strengths, the abilities, the talents, the passions that you have, that you can put into alignment with where you're going with this. So if you are going to be using this passion that you've already picked, and you already know the people or the project that you're going to impact with this passion, right? Because that's giving it a purpose. Now you need to identify Okay, what are their strengths?

What are the talents and abilities Do I have that I can bring into this to better help me to use this passion to impact and empower other people. So now this is going to create more clarity for you. This is going to create a more of a confidence and more of a motivation of like man, for sure I can do this. Look at these these all these resources that I already have in me I already have these strengths, these talents, his ability, I already have this entity So this is going to make me even more powerful as I'm taking this passion to impact these people is very motivating. So let's go to the next one. Number seven.

Number seven, what are the benefits of you achieving this? Think about that. If you would take this passion, just we're not we're just talking about one. If you will take this one passion, and begin to intentionally impact other people with this, and you're starting to see their lives change, you're starting to see smiles on their face, you're starting to see those needs met, you're starting to see those things happen, that you really want to see happen. What is that going to do for you? What is that going to do for how you feel about yourself?

And now that you feel better about yourself, right, you're gonna feel like you're contributing and making a difference. You're just your self confidence, your self esteem is gonna go up, right? How is that going to affect you now? how's that gonna affect your most important relationships, because now you feel better about yourself. Now you have a better energy all because of this stuff that you're doing. So start to really think through it.

Detail. If I begin to really accomplish this, if I really begin to impact people how I really want to hire, I really believe that I can. How is that going to raise the quality of my life? How is that going to raise the quality of the lives of those that I love, because the more that you see, this is really going to benefit me. The more that you see this is going to benefit my future, this is going to benefit those that I love, the more motivation that you're generating for yourself. So let's move to the next one.

Number eight. Now we talked about what are the good things right? What are the benefits of you accomplishing this? Now let's go to the other side, because that's also going to create a motivation for you. So what are the what are the consequences? Let's say that you don't, let's say that you never will begin to use your passions on purpose for a purpose to impact other people.

What if you never did that? How would that limit you? How would that limit your quality of life? How would that limit you know you feeling good about yourself? How would that limit? You know, where your family is going and and the legacy that you're creating?

How would that limit? How what kind of consequences would you gain in your life and the most important areas areas of your life? If you did not do this? Think about it, feel it, see those who love impacted by it, because the more that you're clear about the consequence of you not doing this, again, you're creating motivation to make sure that you do do it right. This move to the next one, number nine, real simple practical things, set alarms, set reminders. Okay, so maybe, you know, we get distracted sometimes, maybe no, Yes, we do.

Right? So we have so many things that go on in our life. So it's good to have even on your phone a reminder, boom, make some noise, you look at it, and it reminds you, hey, you're using your passions for a purpose. Or, hey, you're empowering this group or this project through these different things that you have just a little reminder like that. You know, you'll be so busy, you're doing so many things that reminder goes off. You'd look at you're like oh yeah, it just triggered.

And gets you in alignment of where you're going and why again, very powerful. Now the next one, last one, number 10. Share your goal, or this, how are you going to use this passion to for a purpose to impact other people? Now share that with a coach. share that with Richard Martinez share that with rise programs so that you have somebody who is there not only just to keep you accountable, to be like, Hey, are you doing it? Hey, I'll come on.

But somebody who's actually going to give you some tools, some strategy, some systems to really help you to succeed so you can be more efficient, more competitive, more productive, and really using your passions for a purpose to impact other people. So again, right now we're talking about Okay, how can we use our passions to empower other people and find our purpose so that we can generate and maintain motivation?
