Make Your “Why” Matters

We all speak of “oneness” yet tend to divide our lives into categories like work life, family life, social life, personal life, hobbies, and so on. How can we achieve “oneness” in our own lives with such a mindset? There should be one life with a common denominator among all these categories. Let’s explore the fundamental conscious “why” that we should all perhaps ask ourselves. We know that knowing our “why” in business and branding is very important, but it should not be limited to business – it should be part of our entire life. There is the marketing “why” that helps you stand out from the crowd of competitors, and there is the conscious “why” that helps you truly ground and align yourself with your business and, more importantly, with life in general. This is the latter “why” we refer to in this June episode. The conscious “why” is very important in the 21st century as it keeps you on track in your journey to self-realization and keeps you well centered to help this world. Let’s explore this conscious “why” with Shiv Dutt, Tech Founder of Manifold Ventures, and discover what is his big “why” at the core of his inspiring mission with dashboards called MeaVana. What is MeaVana, and how can it support your daily life? “When you know why you do what you do, even the toughest days become easier.” (Becky Allen)
