Are you making a difference with passion?
I get a lot of emails; I am on a lot of email lists. This kind of work requires me to keep up as we are in constant change. It also means I get to read some great emails from some brilliant people. I want to tell you about an email I received from Scott Oldford.
But first, are you passionate, obsessed and inspired, do you leap out of bed determined to get on with your day. I know at least one person who jumps out of bed into a cold shower because it sets the theme for the day.
Morning Routines
My normal routine is up at 7 am and writing with a pen for 30 minutes. Some of my more productive friends would call that late. For me, it is about the drive and a connection to a thing that is greater than me.
Back to Scott, from my perspective, he is a young man, in his 30s and he has the passion of youth. He has been a serial entrepreneur going from nothing to riches to nearly a million in debt and back out again in just a few years.
In Scott’s email he was talking obsession and passion, (hence the subject line) this was the bit that took my interest.
“Are you in true alignment with your vision and purpose.
“If you don’t know of my vision, it’s huge. Like, really big.
In order to wake up at 3:30 am every morning. In order to produce the way I do.
You have to be in true alignment with that vision and purpose. And part of all of this is ensuring that you continue to fall in love with your purpose. That doesn’t happen by mistake. You get to choose your destiny for it. If you don’t do things that remind you why you’re doing what you’re doing. You’re screwed — really screwed. You must surround yourself with things that inspire you.”
Wow, he does strike a cord what is it that inspires you in your work? If you can communicate that passion, it is infectious. I read Scott’s emails always because they make me feel good.
I am the catalyst creating change
and making a difference with passion. 
The passion in my business is seeing a client move to the next level. It happens when I listen as they speak about why they do what they do. I hear that energy in the voice and together we discover how to communicate it on the page or through a video. It is seeing the result of that passion translate to engagement and sales.
The truth is when you share your passion; your customers will love you and your business because they want a piece of it.
My passion and purpose is about
moving people forward in life and
business and making a difference
in the world.
The ritual that leads to clarity
My morning ritual is for me, and the writing gives it space. By writing whatever comes into my head there is freedom, no editing straight onto the page even if it is swearing and moaning or, “I do not know what to write now and hate it ” it goes on the page.
I will express gratitude and appreciation for things, people or life and then re-affirm my 90-day goals and direction. I connect with my passion and vision for the greater future.
That is the first 30 minutes of my day and it is precious.
