The Power of Purpose in Reaching Audacious Goals

We find that people who have reached the highest levels of success and built truly significant wealth tend to share a number of key traits that are responsible for their amazing results.

One of the most important traits is a strong sense of purpose that drives what they do to become highly successful. There is typically a clear connection between having a strong sense of purpose and achieving excellence.

With that in mind, take a minute to ask:

• What makes you excited about getting up in the morning?

• What do you want to do every day you possibly can?

• If you want to become extremely wealthy, are you concentrating on things that create personal wealth?

Your long-term goals

A strong sense of purpose must be accompanied by specific long-term goals that you are profoundly committed to achieving. In our experience, the self-made Super Rich (those with a net worth of $500 million or more) have an intense desire to accomplish the long-term goals they’ve set out as part of their overall strong sense of purpose.

Your goals and purpose can address many things, of course, from being the greatest spouse imaginable to creating beautiful works of art. That said, there may be little in the way of economic rewards from those two goals. If you desire monetary gain, your strong sense of purpose must reflect this desire. If your purpose is

to become extraordinarily wealthy, your long-term goals must align with the right activities.
