From the Desk of: Jim White, PhD


Dear Friend,

   In times like these, more and more people find themselves spinning out of control, seemingly at the mercy of outside forces.

If you have been laid off, you are most likely experiencing a flood of emotions, fear, anger, anxiety, humiliation, and much more.

Like many folks right now, you may not have sufficient financial reserves to support yourself for a long period of time. Therefore, you may be faced with the seemingly daunting task of financial survival.

You understandably find yourself wondering "What next? How can I stabilize cash flow, reduce cost, improve revenue and maintain cash reserves?"

People from across several industries, are affected by this financial crisis. The ripple effect is worldwide. We can only speculate at the extent of the fallout.

I could go on about how bad the economy is, but you do not need me to tell you what you already know. You know that every decision you make could have a major impact on many other individuals.


The Ultimate Questions Are:

  • How can I pay my bills?

  • How can I cut cost?

  • How can I find a new job in this economy?

  • How can I take care of my family?

  • How can I maintain a positive attitude?

  • How can I start a proactive job search?

  • What is my first move?


You may feel as though you are in the fight of your life, people are depending on you, and the pressure is intense.

But You Also Have Unprecedented Opportunities:

  • To define and implement your true purpose

  • To become proactive rather than reactive

  • To be the leader of self and your family

  • To start a new career

  • To start a new business

  • To move to another part of the world


This is Your Time to Lead!


   While being laid off can certainly constitute a crisis for most people, those who are willing to see the opportunity in it will very likely thrive as a result. Those who will see the silver lining in the dark cloud are going to flourish. You can be that person.

The majority of individuals believe that happiness and quality of life are determined by the economy, the government, or their employers. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The truth is, there's only one person who has control over anyone's happiness. That person is you, the individual!

To many it seems like others have power over their lives. The truth is they've unwittingly given over their power to others. You CAN live the life you want and deserve!

I can and want to help.


First, a Bit of Background...

   There was a time in my childhood when I was hungry, abused, forgotten, and written off as a human being. I was fortunate that I was born with the survival gene and a strong sense of right and wrong, a strong work ethic and the ability to make the invisible, visible. By necessity, at the age of 6, I was running my first business collecting and selling Coke bottles to purchase food for me, my sisters, and brother. Many decades have passed since I was that 6 year old boy; in fact, I celebrated my 60th birthday this past September.

From my humble beginnings, I became a Senior Executive for a Fortune 500 Company and the CEO of another publicly held company. In 1980, I left the corporate world to follow my dream of becoming a business owner. I became a merger, acquisition and turnaround specialist. I acquired, turned around and sold 22 companies that operated in 43 countries and generated in excess of $1.8 billion in revenue.

Having achieved this level of success, I decided in 1991 to commit the balance of my life to helping individuals and organizations worldwide to define, implement, and live a life on purpose.

As you can see from my brief resume, I am what many would call an American Success Story. I went from a throw-away kid and a high school dropout, to a very successful business person. In the process I earned three degrees from top schools: a B.S. in Civil Engineering, an MBA, and a PhD in Psychology and Organizational Behavior. I chose to see the opportunities before me instead of what those around me saw as negative situations.

People from around the world ask me how I accomplished so much. The simple answer is that I have clarity of purpose. But I can also sum it up by saying I never give up, I am a good communicator and listener, I measure everything I do, I am a visionary, I am a lifelong student, I am an innovator, I am focused, I am a believer in the potential of human nature, and I understand people!

How could I work in 43 countries and in 22 different industries and be so successful? My reply, it’s all about people! As far back as I can remember, I have been fascinated by human behavior and viewed people as one of the most valuable assets in any industry. I knew on a gut level that if I could get every person in my charge to define and implement a life of purpose, I would have a winning combination. I took that theory, put it into practice, and started measuring the results.

Those results varied from country to country and industry to industry, but I can say that I was able to add a minimum of 20% to my bottom line by getting every willing person within the organization to live on purpose and align them with the corresponding positions I needed to fill within my companies. In some cases, we cut costs 40% by using these methods to improve productivity, morale, accountability, process, and quality control. If every individual is excited about coming to work and doing what they do at work, you are guaranteed of having a winning team.

Since my decision in 1991 to start teaching, I am pleased and honored to report that we have worked with over 100,000 individuals, entrepreneurs, corporate managers, and CEOs worldwide. We have accomplished much over the past 17 years. Our coaching, consulting, teaching and mentoring programs touch hundreds of lives on a daily basis.



Why Find Your Life's Purpose?

   There has NEVER been a more compelling time for you to commit to the process of finding your life’s purpose – that work that provides a reason for being and generates a state of bliss and fulfillment.

Those who have a clear purpose for their lives gives them something to focus on in these turbulent times, like a lighthouse in the middle of a storm.

Dealing with the day-to-day problems can consume all your attention and energy. You're in essence, treading water and not making any real progress toward the success you want and deserve.

Clarity of purpose changes all that.

Discovering one's purpose takes digging, exploration, and effort. The effort yields profound rewards. Having a clear purpose helps you to overcome fears: the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of physical harm, the fear of psychological pain, and the fear of the unknown.

Living life on purpose changes everything! Living a purposeful life enables you to build your life on a firm foundation of solid relationships, a fulfilling career, financial abundance, a deeper self-knowledge, and greater spiritual growth.

I understand personal power. Starting from literally nothing as a child, with none of the advantages of family, influence, or wealth, I became a multimillionaire by the age of 26.

I soon realized that financial success by itself was not all there was to life and I began a personal journey of growth and fulfillment. I discovered that a truly successful life addresses all areas of life:

  1. Finances

  2. Relationships

  3. Spiritual Growth

  4. Physical Health

  5. Mental Health

Balancing these five components takes commitment and a strong desire to live your ideal life. It requires being clear about the purpose of your life and committing to that purpose, committing to your own happiness!

My world-renowned What's My Purpose Life Mastery Course was created to help people reclaim their personal power and get their lives on the track to attain true success.

Are you ready to take back responsibility for your life? You have an unprecedented opportunity to do so now.

To the individual who is receiving a pink slip, it is scary, it is stressful, and it is depressing. But, it is also an opportunity to build a new life based on purpose.

What Can You Expect From What's My Purpose?

According to the experiences of people who have taken the What's My Purpose Life Mastery Course, you can expect:
  • As flow and meaning become part of the fabric of life, the ideal career and business is better defined - stress and burnout become things of the past.

  • As you grow to understand your purpose, you stop feeling as though something is missing. Rather, even when you hit rough patches, you still maintain a deep feeling that what you are doing feels “right”.

  • You cast off "shoulds" and instead start living according to your core values. The result? Your effectiveness and life satisfaction shoot sky-high.

  • You become your own best friend and cheerleader. You recognize on a deep, gut level, that YOU ARE ENOUGH.

  • You recognize the dangers of living according to lifestyle which is living from the outside in. You instead live your life from the inside out. As you do, you find that a sense of peace and fulfillment is inevitable.

  • You develop enough self-trust to listen to your intuition. The result: more powerful, meaning-based decision making. Those decisions carry you forward in your life with an ease you previously only imagined.




Take a Look Into a Coaching Session...

Group 6259 • Session 1 • 12-06-08




Part 1 Part 2



What's My Purpose Life Mastery Course
Content

The Course is divided into three distinct and vital parts.

Part 1 - What is Purpose?

In the first part, I guide you through the process of discovering just why purpose is so important in life and business. The student takes the first steps toward claiming that purpose.


Part 2 - Your Five Masks

In the second part, I explain in depth about the Five Masks or obstacles and how each mask represents a reason why you're possibly standing in the way of living your own purpose. Until you remove these masks, connecting with your purpose is like trying to talk on the phone with a jet roaring overhead, loud music playing a few inches away, and the neighbor kids screeching. Can you hear your purpose now?


Here's what to expect as you clear your masks:

  1. Mask #1: Busy-ness. It's easy to get caught up in the details of a challenging business and life; that's why I include a prescription for busy-ness that unleashes your creative will and shifts your perception.

  2. Mask #2: What will other people think? Again, it's often easier to please people to the exclusion of treating yourself right or thinking about your own needs. The exercises I provide help you design an action plan to please you not others. Living an “On Purpose” life requires action, not reaction – my exercises teach you the difference.

  3. Mask #3: I’m not ___________ Enough. I help you discover all the ways that you score “wins” on a daily basis as well as help to acquaint you with your own inimitable uniqueness.

  4. Mask #4: Fear. I teach you how to harness that fear and maximize your ability to take calculated, life-enhancing risks – even in the face of that dreaded mask, fear.

  5. Mask #5: What is Success? I provide exercises to help you reframe your relationship with money and what it can really do for you, ultimately illuminating the way to finding your true purpose.

Part 3 - New Truths in a Life Guided by Purpose

In the third part of the What's My Purpose Life Mastery Course, I pull it all together. Now comes the time to learn to take joy in the process. You're coming to understand that the process of learning to live according to your purpose is like traveling along an upward spiral. You might revisit places you've been, but you're moving up the scale. You're also learning to trust and follow your intuition for better results that come more easily. You complete the course with a personalized life plan based on your purpose. This is the road map to your new life!

  • Your Financial Life

What is DISC®? It is the language of "How we act" or in other words, our behavioral tendencies. Research has consistently shown that behavioral characteristics can be grouped together into four quadrants or styles. A person's natural behavior is an integral part of who they are.

In other words, much of our behavior comes from "nature" (inherent), and much comes from "nurture" (our upbringing). The DISC® model simply analyzes a person's behavior style; that is, a person's manner of doing things.

The benefits of DISC® include:

  • Understanding behavioral strengths and challenges in yourself and in others

  • Learning to appreciate the differences and strengths of others

  • Developing strategies and awareness to deal with diversity of people, their communication styles, and needs

  • Defining your new job behaviorally, in alignment with your purpose.
