You're listening to The Reinvention Project with Jim Rome podcast.

Welcome to episode 95 of the Reinvention Project.

I am Jim Rome.

It is great to have you here.

And yes, I'm in the process of what I believe to be tremendous personal and professional

reinvention.

And I'm obsessed with getting better every single day and being the best version of myself.

Now, in this space, you hear gurus say that all the time. I'm here to help you become the best version of yourself.

I mean, great. The hell does that mean anyway? What exactly does that mean? What exactly does that look like? And how do you get there? Well, I can tell you how not to get there by not having a mission, by not having a purpose. How can you walk in your purpose if you don't have one? Exactly what is driving your daily thoughts, decisions and actions if you don't have a mission or a purpose.

What's the first thing you think of when your feet hit the ground every single morning when your alarm goes off?

Do you beat your alarm on most mornings or do you hit snooze and roll over when that alarm does go off?

Because if you do that, you are starting your day with an L.

You're already chasing.

You've already sent yourself a message that I really don't give a damn.

I just got worked by a clock.

I just got owned by my iPhone.

The idea is to stack dubs throughout the day. But how are you going to do that

if you start the day with a big L, much less start most days like that? And clearly, if you are

hitting snooze, your purpose or mission is not strong enough. Or you'd want to get your ass right

out of bed and begin attacking that mission and your day.

So what you need to do is get really clear on what your mission is.

Now, I can't determine that for you.
