The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

There could be basic fundamentals that are not being followed whenever something is not working. Also, the timing could not be right, probably, when something is not working. Whatever the case, we need to make sure that the blame is not on us. When it comes to purpose pursuit, we have to answer the question that is age-old, "Why is there no profit in my purpose pursuit?" Why is it that people of p...

Why is there no profit from my purpose pursuit? That's a question very many people grapple with. It is probably the same question asked by a businessman after years of trying. Or a farmer, or a graduate looking for a job? There are many reasons out there why this is happening. Of course, some of the factors would be beyond your capacity to handle, but some of these factors are self-inflicted. In t...

Most of the reasons why there is no profit in purpose pursuit are because of either the ineptitude or the ignorance of the visionary. For the most part, it is because the visionary lacks the intentionality to do what they must in order to earn. The truth of the matter is that there could be people in the world who would pay for that purpose, that passion, that gift, or that talent. But as long as...

"Yeah, but where is the money?" That's the question very many passionate people are asked when they present their weird ideas, causes, and purpose pursuit. Frankly, that question is important, because a man who works has to eat. However, how do you grapple successfully with a society that doesn't think that there is profit in purpose pursuit? At some level, the people in purpose pursuit ought to b...

How can you monetize your talent, your gifts, your passion, and ultimately your purpose? This ought to be the most asked question the whole world over. However, we find that the question, "how can I get a job" is probably more asked. Why is that? It is because, with a job, there is an instant promise for certainty. There is cash money in your pocket at the end of the month. There is a big reason a...

Invariably, the purpose people do not feel like they should charge for their trade for one reason or another. I think the main reason is that they feel as if it is cheating. Traditionally, we have been schooled to think that we earn to the direct proportion of our academic papers. Also, we have been conditioned to think that we earn in direct proportion to the complexity of work that we are doing....

Purpose pursuit is an incredibly important thing and ever increasingly so. More and more people are being employed to work in the "Gig Economy", and that is where purpose thrives. Environments were created for jobs. Institutions have been set up at a global level in order to skill people so that they can have jobs. The jobs are fewer each succeeding year. Purpose pursuit though has not been given...

I know this can be a little controversial. If you were to choose between Miracles and work, what would you choose? Of course, you would choose miracles. We also know that in the grand scheme of things, God is a miracle worker. We expect him to do stuff for us. However, this is the very reason why God's personal brand takes a beating. When you are in dire straits, you will need a miracle. However,...

Every waking day, someone is abusing or misusing God's personal brand somewhere in the world. One wonders why God is not doing something to rectify the situation. The answer to that conundrum is related to the different ways in which God's personal brand gets misinterpreted. I think top on the list is ignorance. This is both of those who believe and those who do not believe alike. For as long as i...

God's personal brand has certainly taken a bad rap over the years because of the advent of impostors. The problem of course is not just the impostors. Every impostor out there needs a gullible, ignorant, and lazy person to take advantage of. So God ends up being blamed over and over again for things being done to people in his name, but at the end of the day, it is the impostors who are responsibl...

Let me ask you a question. Is God really in control? Think about that. I have had debates upon debates with different people on the answers to this question. At the end of the day, God's personal brand suffers a great deal because of this statement. When you say "God is in control", people have a picture of a loving, powerful, and caring God. How can they reconcile the atrocities we see on the fac...

There is a great misunderstanding even in the religious circles on how God operates. The misunderstanding and the misinterpretations make God's personal brand to suffer every now and then. There are reasons why this is in play every waking day. Why is it that those people who are not religious are misunderstanding the concept of God. Why is it that those who are religious are disillusioned about t...

God being God is supposed to be the one with the greatest personal brand there ever was. It is even stupid to try and measure God, but we shall use some assumptions here, so work with me. What we see in some quarters in society though is God's personal brand taking a beating and having a bad rap. There are several reasons as to why that is the case. God does have a brand and that brand is critical...

In a world that has become so noisy in the human resource space, the highly competent person is paid peanuts while the highly branded person is overwhelmed with work. Personal branding becomes the new CV that helps people to rise up and deploys their potential in the world, add value in the world, and solve problems. As a result, they get recognized and appreciated. Let's see some of the advantage...

Refreshing a personal brand is a critical thing. Of course, coming up with a personal brand is no mean fete. It takes time and effort. There is a sense of breakthrough when you finally have a brand crafted. However, down the line, you will quickly realize that you cannot stay in the same mode that you were in when you started out. You have to improve, increase, and stay relevant. Brand presence as...

Fresh is always as good as new no matter how long they have been in existence. Ask Coca Cola. Personal brands will be the in thing in life, but they cannot be left stale. We need to keep them refreshed from time to time. There are several ways in which we can do this and the top of the list is innovation. When a new product or service is added to a personal brand, that brand has just refreshed its...

The thing that people in our targeted audience will interact with is what will form a critical aspect of our brand. Personal branding is not just about what we say we can do. It is also about what we do. When what we do confuses people, we are losing leverage with our personal brand. That is why we need to step back and refresh it. One of the ways of refreshing a personal brand is to rethink its f...

There is something called the broken windows theory. It portrays the fact that where environments are run down, security levels are bad. When you spruce up that environment, the cases of insecurity go down accordingly. The same thing is mightily true about your personal branding. If your personal brand is not refreshed in any way, it sends a signal to your audience. That negative signal will affec...

If you keep yourself fresh and well attended to, it sends a signal to the world. It tells the world that you are alive and that you care. That is the same thing with a personal brand. Creating a personal brand is one thing, but delivering value consistently and refreshing yourself as you do that is not an automatic thing. One has to plan consciously how it is done. If not, people will forget or as...

One of the reasons why we have successful stories, whether it is through books, movies, TV sitcoms, articles, and so on is because of heroes. One of the reasons why mothers' day is cherished more than fathers' day the whole wide world is because the mothers are good at ownership. In creating a personal brand, one has to learn how to be a hero like a mother. Let's see how this is done.

It is already known and it is increasing in knowledge worldwide that a personal brand is "the new CV". Our resume's today are not those three paged documents that we present at interviews or we send by mail soliciting jobs. Today, we move ahead and we transact in life depending on the perception that is in the minds of other people about what we are already doing, what we are passionate about, or...

It is possible to do life in the dark, while all the time you presume that you are OK. That is the anatomy of misconceptions. It is only later on in life that you wake up and realize how wrong you were! Well, that is why mentors and knowledge are good. They help us to deal with misconceptions before we can delve knee-deep in them. In building a personal brand, there are quite a number of glaring m...

Neglect screams a million things. Care does the same thing, as well as compassion. With personal branding, it makes a difference to make sure that what is being communicated subliminally with your brand is care, compassion, and refreshing. That is why it is a travesty to think that personal branding is what is done in a January New Year Resolution meeting and then left to fend for itself. Listen t...
