Are You Like A Fly On A Window?

February 20, 2018 By kwmccarthy

We construct our lives as best we can, yet it is hard to see the boundaries and borders we’ve created around us. Certainly, some enclosures provide protection and support. Yet, some barriers are self-inflicting and limit our life with an unhealthy—even an unnatural—manner and lessening result that leaves us being off-purpose.

It sucks to be stuck in life.

Heart WorkOn July 12, 1987, President Ronald Reagan challenged then-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev with the words, “Tear down this wall,” and the world soon changed. Look at your own life and ask, If President Reagan were to speak to me, what walls would he challenge me to tear down in my life?

Are you ready to stop banging your head against the window pane of life? Do you see the life you imagine, but an invisible barrier prevents you from getting to the other side? Now is the time to do the hard work of your heart work.

Are you ready to do your heart work but you don’t know how?

Here are some ideas:

  • The On-Purpose Person in hardcover or paperback.
  • ONPURPOSE.me. Thanks to ONPURPOSE.me, within minutes of starting, you can discover your purpose in just 2 words.
  • On-Purpose Peace workbook or set.

Visit our online bookstore for more ideas.

Are You Serving on a Board of Directors?

February 12, 2009 By kwmccarthy

Many of us who are business owners get invited to serve on boards.  We're used to running things, not governing via policy through the CEO (for profit) or Executive Director (not for profit).   The role of being a director is deeply misunderstood by most of us who serve on boards. 

Recently, I was quoted in the following article in California Executive.  Perhaps this will shed some light on your board involvements.

Now More Than Ever, Company Boards Must Respect Boundaries

Be On-Purpose!
