Publisher's summary

What is my purpose? How do I find my passion?

Most people wake up and drive to a job that they hate.

Think about your five closest friends. Are they happy? Do they live their lives with purpose? Do you? We put on a fake front for what we want people to see and think about us, but the reality is most people aren’t happy. We’re lost. We settle. We aren’t happy with where we are. You can’t be happy if you don’t know your purpose. It’s not possible. You want more but you don’t even know where to start. You know there is more out there. You see others having success and you want it, too; there is nothing wrong with that. You just need help finding your purpose, so you can find the success you see all around you. You can be productive, crush your goals, pretend that all the things that you’ve acquired actually mean something…but at the end of the day, if you don’t know your purpose, you’ll always feel like there’s something missing. You’ll know that you’re capable of more and that you’re not living the life you should be. You might be fooling the world, but you’re not fooling the person looking back at you in the mirror. You need to find your actual power source.

Your purpose is your source of power.

Once you find your purpose it’ll fuel you for life. You’ll do things that you never thought you were capable of. Achieving your purpose will force you to morph into a stronger version of yourself. You’ll have to push through fears, insecurities, and doubts that held you back. But somehow it’ll all feel possible and necessary because you’re purpose-driven now…and that’s the only thing you’ll ever need.

Pretty life changing information

Evan could not spell it out any more clear. This is how you change your life. This is how you serve. This is what matters. Great job Evan! Very detailed and step by step process rather than the typical "just find your passion" stuff.

Very interesting and not a lot of fluff

I found it so full of such helpful information that I’m going to have to listen to it again. Definitely worth the money.

A Must Read to Guide Your Transformation!

The title lured me into purchasing the book. it sat in my Audible library for months. When I decided to read it...OMG! I replay many parts over again and again. I recently turned 60 and started a website and blogging after retiring from the school setting as a teacher and administrator for over 30 years. The book really helped me to solidify many of my doubts and how to move forward and out of my safe space. I plan to list this book as 1 of my top 3 reads. I don't have a clear choice yet of the other 2! Check out my website at nowyouknow.fyi. OK, the 1 year ago, Monica would never have made that shameful plug. The new and after reading this book Monica is unapologetically fine with it! You gotta read it to understand how it can change your mindset for the best! Finding your Who.

Curious What YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE Is? It's In Here!

I typically classify books as "entry level" or "advanced" in the entrepreneurial space (helps me know what to recommend to who after I've finished reading a book.) Before I read this book, I assumed this book was just for beginners, but boy was I wrong... it's for EVERYONE! I've read a lot of books aimed at entrepreneurs and this one caught me by surprise and uncovered something HUGELY VALUABLE for me that I unexpectedly had not yet figured out... MY PURPOSE IN LIFE!!!!!!!!!! I'm not going to give away the spoilers, but I'll leave you with this... the journaling prompts at the beginning are a must do. (And then you might get so excited (like me) and start asking all your family members and clients and colleagues to work the journal prompts too!
