At our meeting last night, we talked through a series of questions. These questions will help you focus on who you are and help to to find your “why” For some of you, you will have quick answers to some of the questions because you have already thought through that question. Some of the questions you will not have a quick answer to. That is OK. Think on them. When you have an answer to most of the questions, you will be much closer to finding your why.
