  • The 5-Minute PURPOSE Hack for Busy Professionals

    The 5-Minute PURPOSE Hack for Busy Professionals
    2025/09/30

    In this episode of East Trade Winds, we take a step back from business tactics to focus on something even more powerful: your personal mission statement.

    Wayne Pratt, founder of Motive8U and seasoned business coach, shows us how to create a purpose statement in under 15 minutes that can re-align your personal and professional life.

    Hosted by Bernie Franzgrote and Wayne himself, this engaging session guides listeners through a simple but impactful writing exercise using three lists: your values, your talents, and your life roles.

    Through this hands-on approach, Wayne and Paula (our dynamic guest facilitator) help participants create real, raw mission statements on the spot—and the results are powerful.

    You’ll hear mission statements from audience members like:

    • “I want to live in a world of communication and insight…”
    • “I want to live in a world of love and truth…”
    • “I want to live in a world of curiosity…”

    Their words show how this one exercise can open doors to confidence, career focus, and emotional resilience.

    Whether you’re leading a team or building your business solo, this episode helps you reconnect with your why—the reason you started it all.

    🔍 Key Topics Covered:

    • Why mission statements are not just for companies
    • How your personal values guide your business journey
    • A step-by-step method to write your mission statement in under 15 minutes
    • Real mission statement examples from live attendees
    • How clarity of purpose boosts resilience and decision-making
    • How to use your mission statement in job interviews and networking

    👤 Guest Speaker: Wayne Pratt

    • Founder of Motive8U
    • Connect on LinkedIn
    • Specializes in coaching solopreneurs, creatives, and professionals to unlock clarity and direction
