Purpose Chasers Podcast

The real struggle is the follow-through.  This week, I’m sharing why New Year’s Resolutions are BS and what you can do to ensure success for the New Year.

Do you ever feel stuck in setting goals for yourself? Maybe you have dreams of being a public speaker and an author or have dreams of running your own fitness facility. However, you often feel bombarded with the different responsibilities and a million ideas constantly running through your mind at any given moment. Regardless of what your goals and dreams look like, you have a pretty good idea of where you want to be but you just don’t know how to get there.  This week, I am sharing with you how I clear the clutter in my own mind by breaking down step-by-step how I plan out my goals and take action. I know how easy it is to get in the habit of being bogged down by different goals and dreams and responsibilities that I forget to sit down and make a game plan for myself. But there is good news. You can clear the clutter in your own mind and achieve your dreams. You just have to shift the way you think about your goals.  Topics Discussed: How being disorganized leads to procrastination  Learning

Ever left a business conference feeling inadequate or feeling like you need to be doing more because of someone else’s accomplishments? Or maybe you decided to continue your education solely because you wanted more stature and to prove yourself worthy of your cohorts. If the conferences you are attending aren’t leaving you feeling empowered or if your master’s or doctorate degree isn’t fulfilling your joy, you may be chasing someone else’s carrots.  This week, I am sharing with you how chasing other people’s goals and dreams only leave you spiraling down a rabbit hole. For most of us, we have a specific level of success we want to achieve in our lives. We all have passions we feel called to but how often do we allow someone else’s goals and passions dictate our own future? Topics Discussed: How FOMO leads to self-destruction Why you need to stop chasing other people’s carrots How attending conferences can stifle your goal setting What it takes to achieve a high level of self-actualization ---  Joi

Why do you do the things you do? Maybe you want to support your family and be able to spend more time at home. Or maybe you want to make a positive impact on those around you and become an expert in your field. Regardless of your “why”, we all have a purpose for our lives. However, very few of us know where to find it.  This week, I am sharing with you how I reframed my mindset to find my true purpose in life. And I want to be able to help you do the same. For some of us, this means financial freedom or a flexible schedule to be able to do more of the things we truly enjoy. If your Friday morning commute to work doesn’t excite you, this episode is for you.  Topics Discussed: The true definition of purpose and how to find it Understanding your why when it comes to making an impact Reframing your mindset to find your purpose ---  Join the exclusive Purpose Chasers Facebook group for unreleased content, interviews, live coaching, not to mention the epic community supporting, encouraging, and cha

What does success look like to you? Forget what success looks like to other people, but what does success truly look like to you? Odds are, you probably haven’t fully grasped what it is you’re really chasing after. Or maybe you have goals and ambition but you don’t know exactly how to get there. Our guest this week, creator of Stronger Mommy, Chantelle Turner, shares with us how she was able to redefine the stigma of special needs children by creating an online community where parents are able to embrace their stories and share each other’s journey. We discuss the mental barrier of comparison and success, as well as how to chase after the life you want to live. Chantelle also talks to us about how we can learn to be problem solvers throughout our industries and create opportunities to grow within our passions. Topics Discussed: Changing the narrative from “disability” to “different ability” Why comparison steals your ability to chase after your dreams How to define your own version of success Why mone

Do you struggle with comparison when it comes to creating content? Maybe you are thinking about launching a podcast but the number of downloads of other podcasts challenges you. Maybe you already started a business but the number of clients in other businesses frightens you. Regardless of where you are at in your journey, the number one killer of hopes and dreams is comparison.   This week, I am sharing with you my struggle of comparison and how I am able to acknowledge my own strengths. You have a unique gift to offer to the world, so stop comparing your beginning to the middle of someone else’s story.   Topics Discussed: How comparison depletes past accomplishments Why comparison is detrimental to personal growth The importance of self-evaluation   Connect with Mark Crandall: Website: https://markcrandall.net LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-crandall-lmsw-lcdc-570b1280/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/purposechaserspodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p

When was the last time you truly got alone with yourself and figured out who you wanted to be in life? What stopped you from moving toward that person? Whether we lose someone close to us or we grow uncomfortable with our current way of living, we all ask ourselves the question: “who am I and what am I doing with my life?”.Our guest this week, marketing strategist and host of the Unbecoming podcast, Phoebe Mroczek, shares with us how she learned to truly understand the person she wanted to become. Phoebe talks about the exact moment she shut out all of the background noise and focused on her calling. Whether it's the self-limiting belief of “I’m not good enough” or the fear of failing, we need to first give ourselves permission to truly understand who we are. Before we are ever able to answer what we are called to do with our lives, we need to first answer who we are called to be in our lives.Want to level-up your life, your art, or your business? Here's how to take the next step with Purpose Chasers:

  Have you ever made a decision solely based on the opinions of what others thought you should do? Maybe you chose the wrong career path because other people told you how to live your life. Maybe you didn’t take the jump on landing your dream client because other people told you not to put yourself out there. But, if you truly want to excel into who you are called to be, you have got to start leaning into what your inner voice is telling you. This week, I share a personal experience of what happened when I chose my intuition over what other people thought I should do. I also teach you how you too can tap into that inner voice and operate at the highest level you were called to. Regardless of the excuses you keep telling yourself, you can step into that calling. Sometimes, we just need reminders along the way. Topics Discussed: Why not every opportunity is the best opportunity Why focusing on money alone can hinder your decision making How getting quiet strengthens your ability to listen to your intu
