What is your life’s purpose? And what is your vision for your life? 

If you’re not sure about the answers to these questions, you’re not alone. It takes time and deep introspection to gain clarity on your purpose and vision. But I can promise you that it’s worth the effort. 

We all want to enjoy a happy life, have a loving community of people around us, be proud of our achievements, and experience financial stability. But how can we get there? 

In today's episode, I'm joined by Neal Thornhill, my partner in life for over 30 years, a wonderful father, successful entrepreneur, and above all, a man with a crystal clear vision and purpose for his life. 

We had a fantastic conversation about Neal's vision and purpose, the framework he came up with to help him determine them, and how he uses them to guide his daily actions and commitments. Neal also shares the four pillars that support his vision and purpose; he talks about the complex process of identifying exactly what we want and using simplicity as a tool to achieve it.

Additionally, we learn why relying on motivation is less effective than relying on discipline, how to accept failure as a natural part of every process, the power of the 80/20 rule, and much more.
