Everyone needs to have something that gets them out of bed in the morning. A dream, an objective, or a Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal (BHAG). But finding your purpose is often easier said than done. In this episode of The Purpose Tune Podcast, Goodman Lantern founder and CEO, Raj Goodman Anand discusses how to find yours.

Raj and podcast host, Khong Xiong, discuss the meaning of purpose. According to Raj, purpose is something that drives the action that it takes to get up in the morning and to do what you do. Raj notes that if we have a meaningful purpose in life, it makes life more fulfilling. 

Purpose is also something that drives you in your career. If you have a work-related purpose and a BHAG, it informs the choices you make in your job and your career. If you are a business owner, your purpose will influence everything from your hiring policy to your client base. Xiong explains that purpose is your north star and guiding light that helps you in challenging situations. 

This inspiring podcast episode highlights how personal purpose and business align, and why it’s important to continuously remind yourself what your purpose is. Raj also goes into how his business journey ties into his purpose. Or rather, how his purpose has dictated his business journey over the years. 

Both the guest and host discuss the importance of mentors, but also the importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded peer groups. Having peers who make you want to be better and do better goes a long way in helping to build a purpose-driven life. 

So, how do you live a life with meaning? How do you find people to guide you along the way? Tune into this episode of The Purpose Tune Podcast to find out!
