Working without a purpose is a fool’s errand that will exhaust you and have you catering to everyone’s agenda but your own. When loyalty from both businesses and employees is questionable at best, you can no longer depend on just doing the job in front of you and hoping for the best. Working with purpose safeguards you from burnout, boredom, and dissatisfaction.
Finding your purpose can sound like you need to take a 3-month sabbatical and backpack the Himalayas to find yourself. However, CareerTruth offers a much-simplified path to understanding yourself.
