The Purpose ProjectEpisode 8 - Getting Clear on Where You’re Actually GoingIn this episode of The Purpose Project, I do something a little different.Instead of an interview, I teach one of the core lessons from a mentorship programme I used to run — a lesson designed to help people gain clarity, direction, and focus in both life and business.This episode is all about vision, mission, dreams, and goals — what they actually mean, how they differ, and why so many people feel stuck or misaligned without them. Responsibility without direction leads to effort with no real outcome, and this lesson is about fixing that.
