I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast.

The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential.

Through the lens of athletic potential, you reach your human potential.

The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere in a great sport into life.

And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast, as ever, your host Matt Dixon. And today, well,

we're going to revisit an important

part of driving your performance journey. The fuel, the driver, the lightning rod to keep

your spirits up when things get tough. Because we're going to discuss purpose and goals.

As you're going to find out, this is a discussion on purpose and it's a discussion on goals.

In other words, they're not the same thing.

They're both very valuable in any performance journey, whether you're trying to win a

world championship, whether you're looking to build a successful business, whether you're

seeking to become just the best version of yourself that you possibly can be. It is your foundation, your bedrock of performance

success. Now, I really hope that you find today valuable. And I think this might be one of those

episodes where it becomes one of your reference episodes that you can maybe go back to in the

future.

And perhaps you'll share it with anyone that might find this education useful,

that you might actually want to go on and start their own performance journey,

whether it's about getting moving on a day-to-day basis or whether they're trying to win a world championship.

As we venture in, I want to integrate a couple of reference stories here.

But what you're going to learn is first a definition and a differentiation between what

purpose and goals are.
