What’s Your Why?
Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle
Every organization on the planet knows WHAT they do. These are products they sell or the services they offer.
Very few organizations know WHY they do what they do. WHY is not about making money. That’s a result. It’s a purpose, cause or belief. It’s the very reason your company exists.
Some organizations know HOW they do it. These are the things that make them special or set them apart from their competition.

Your Why is Your MAGIC!
• What do you believe? • What are your core values?
• Why does your firm exist?
• What are you doing to make your clients happy?
• What are you doing to inspire your clients, your staff and your community?

Your WHY is your SUPER POWER!

What We Often Miss: The Contrast
• Where are they now? Where will they be after working with you?
• What does a day-in-the-life look like for them? How will their personal or professional lives change?
• Do they see the current situation as bad enough to overcome the inertia of status quo?
• How will your super power save them?
