Are you ready to RUMBLE?! Are you ready to FIGHT for your purpose? To let your fists fly? To throw some punches? To kick and scream if necessary? Your purpose is waiting for you.

I explain in this brief episode of the Stuck On Purpose podcast ... and just in time for the theatrical release of Creed II, as well.

Is your crystal ball working? Mine sure isn't. Never has. Surely, neither has yours. Why then do we expect ourselves to never be wrong? Why do we get so exasperated, so hard on ourselves when we stumble, when we fail, when we misjudge an opportunity when we can't predict the future?! When this happens, you are better able to free yourself to fulfill your purpose when you admit when you are wrong. Listen in and hear me out as I share from my own story of getting it wrong ...and not wanting to admit it. I welcome your subscription to this podcast. You can see I keep them short and to the point so that you are free to pursue your day. I also welcome your comments @JimWashok on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and elsewhere. And, I'm looking to interview guests who have become unstuck to fulfill their purpose and are willing to share their story with listeners. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stuck-on-purpose/support

Are you a thief? Are you willing to steal your purpose from someone else's work? You might just have to if you are struggling to find your way by creating something new from scratch. The reality is there is nothing new under the sun. Rather, new ideas are generated out of products, services, media, content, speeches, art, and more that already exist. The benefit is that you can more easily find and fulfill your purpose by using existing pieces to work with. Listen in and I'll explain further. I invite your comments @JimWashok on Facebook and Twitter. I also invite you to like/follow/subscribe to this podcast. And, please share this brief insightful message with someone you care for that could use some encouragement. Thank you, Jim --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/stuck-on-purpose/support

Are you willing to throw away your work? As difficult as it may seem, sometimes your path to purpose requires you to toss aside past accomplishments, drafts you have invested a lot of time on, and creations that may have cost you much to build. Many individuals, starts, organizations, and big business with tons of resources failed to fulfill their new purpose because they were unwilling to throw away what was working, and sometimes even that which clearly isn't working. The reluctance is understandable. But, it is crazy, unwise, and often way more costly in the end. Don't believe me? Just ask the leaders of Blackberry who refused to throw away the physical keyboard on their product designs and a tsunami of smartphones with virtual keyboards overwhelmed their market share. Likewise, the leadership of the now defunct Blockbuster would not throw away a business model that worked so that they could compete with RedBox and Netflix. Listen to more examples and be encouraged to let go of that which is holding you back from realizing your full potential. Please subscribe / follow / heart / like.

When did you last do absolutely nothing? How often do you simply allow yourself to be still? This is a toughy for me. I like to busy. My guess is whether you like to be busy or not, you are. Busyness is baked into our culture. The good ole rat race. We all hate it, yet we wake up every morning and run it. And, we go to bed feeling stuck... day after day after day. Be still. Allow your mind and body to catch up. In that moment, the realization of your purpose might come to fruition to set you free! In this episode, I share how the very name of this podcast came from a moment of being free to do absolutely nothing. Share. Comment. Favorite/subscribe. Like. Tell me when and how you are going to prioritize moments of nothingness. I want to help you do that... and I can use the accountability to others, too.

Are you looking for something to love? Do you want to be a champion? A killer queen in your area of expertise? Or, does nothing really matter? As you struggle to find and fulfill your purpose, find inspiration in being free to be like Freddie Mercury, the late lead singer and songwriter of Queen. Freddie laced Queen's tunes with a lyrical ingenuity that should inspire us. He was precise in his art. Really almost scientific in the way he architected stories in music. Listen to Queen's music with an attentiveness that perhaps you never have before and you should sense the extent to which Freddie surely wrestled with every word and polished every note to excellence. Let his work inspire you as you seek to be unstuck in pursuing your purpose. Listen. Comment. Favorite/heart. Follow/subscribe. I welcome your response and thank you for your support @JimWashok. Please share this episode with those in your life that you feel could use a bit of support in finding something to love and emerging as a champion.

What do you see? Not on your phone, your laptop, your television. In the world around you. The people. The places. Your purpose might be in plain sight. But, you have to stare at it to see it. In this episode, I explore examples of purpose that was recognized and fulfilled by people who noticed a problem, a design, a gap, a behavior. It is imperative that we are free to stare. The act of observation might be the key you need to getting unstuck. Share. Comment. Favorite/subscribe. Like.

Is your purpose in your play? What you're to focus on may be in your hobby. Perhaps not directly and that is why you may have not seen the opportunity before you.
