Today, I was able to meet with a client and we discussed his life and just chatted. I asked him, is there anything I can do for you today? Do you need anything ...he said, 'no every time I talk to you I get four or fives days of positive attitude back in my life...you are my reset'. - I was honestly speechless. That's the stuff that helps you keep going.

Well, I was reminded of a lesson today. Eventually, the truth comes out, and the real motivations become clear. This happens when we walk in life and 'assume' and 'accept' without questioning. Today, I was reminded that everything eventually circles back to money. I truly do not like that about this life, but I do know that identity and meaning are still priceless, so ...that is what I hold on to.

I've spent time looking at communities, reading, absorbing styles, offers, etc. Other than time and being reactive to requests, there is no real 'magic' to get users (free or otherwise); is there? I'm still not seeing how people stumble in on communities. I am promoting outside and forcing people to leave 'FB" or Instagram to 'join' another community seems ...like a pain point. I don't see many stumble-ups on my community. I'm open to suggestions.

I'm pre-launching my new book, The Handprint of Identity - this book is the next step in understanding identity at a deep level (Self-Reflection, Auto-Biographic Story, Inner Meaning, Emotions and Body Significance, and Body Awareness). If you click the link, you can download the FREE version or the EPUB version. - This is a PRELAUNCH book, so you get it before PRINTING! https://beginpurpose.com/tools/handprint-of-identity

Building a community and a cohort of colleagues is the most important thing I am doing every day. At risk of sounding 'begging,' please share my community. My heart is 100% focused on making identity work a core construct in coaching. Of course, it's not the only thing. But how can a couple work on their marriage if their identities are askew? How can you get that promotion if your self-esteem is bruised and your identity is weak? How can you overcome life transitions and begin again if you fail to recognize the role that identity plays in your new life? I recently researched and was able to confirm more than 100 negative emotional states that are linked to maligned identity. Please share with my community and allow me to spread the message of the importance of identity work.
