Hey podcast family, Mark Cole here and welcome to the Maxwell Leadership Podcast. This is the podcast that adds value to leaders who multiply value to others.

And today we are adding value to you in a very special way. Now if you're one of our YouTube followers and you're a video viewer of our podcast, you already know this is different.

But if you're auto, if you are checking in by audio, today you are missing it because on the set already, I have two very special guests with me. Barbara Brown and Macy Delvall.

These two incredible leaders will join us for the application portion of this episode after John's lesson. And I am so glad you both are here.

Now, John's lesson today is all about finding your passion and following and chasing after that passion and these two amazing leaders work with the Maxwell Leadership Certified team as program advisors.

Now here's what that means in a nutshell. They help people do exactly that. Find passion and following. See, they help people become better as leaders, as coaches, as speakers, as trainers and even entrepreneurs and help them get back on track to pursuing their dreams.

So they have been a part of bringing on board 43,000 certified coaches in 165 countries. So I cannot wait for our post lesson discussion.

Now, before we get there, I'd like to encourage you to download the bonus resource for this lesson.

This is a fill in the blank worksheet that accompanies John's lesson. So you can visit MaxwellPodcast.com forward slash passion and click the bonus resource button.

We have a great lesson. John is ready to go. There's a great discussion going to happen after John's lesson. So grab a sheet of paper, grab that worksheet you downloaded, have a pen and get ready because here is John's C Maxwell.

If you'd love to do what you do, it's not work. You know what I'm saying? I love to do what I do. And there are three classes of people.

Number one, those who don't know what they'd like to do. And just beside that, put the word confused. How many of you know somebody just like that?

And that's where they have no clue. You know what I mean? They just kind of get up in the morning and go through life. But nobody's home there either. You know what I'm saying?

And they don't know what they'd like to do because you ask, what would you like to do? And they just kind of look at you and you know, you get a blank face and they don't have a clue.

So the first guys of people is the kind of person that they don't know what they'd like to do. The second class of person is they know what they would like to do, but they don't do it.

And beside that, put frustrated because I know people just like that. Don't you? In other words, they know what they'd like to do. In fact, they'll tell you what they like. They'll like to be this. I'd like to do this. I'd like to go there. And you say, well, why aren't you there? And why don't you do that? And they don't.

The nowhere said, no, what they'd like to do, but they don't do it. They don't seem to have the initiative, the energy, whatever it is, takes to get to where they want to be.

And so they kind of go through life knowing what they'd like to do, but never doing it. And so therefore, they're frustrated. Now the third class of people, those who do what they'd like to do. And you can put beside that, fulfilled. They're fulfilled.

They have a sense of significance and fulfillment in their life. And they're saying, I'm accomplishing something that brings worth to me, but also worth the others. And they rarely like to do what they do.

Now this lesson really is for class number two, the second class person. That's people that they know what they'd like to do, but they don't do it. And the whole lesson is why not do what you'd like to do.

So what I did is I sat down and I began to ask myself, how can I help a person do what they'd like to do if they're not doing it? And I wrote down some questions.

And I think these questions are going to really help that person. So let's get going. Do I like what I'm doing now? That's exactly where you start.
