Finding Core Values and Living Them on Purpose.

A few years back I found myself, yet again, at the beginning of the huge transition of moving to a new state. After 15 years as a military spouse, I was no stranger to relocation, but this time was a little different.

I had spent most of the previous three years pursuing entrepreneurial ventures full time and with this move I knew I was going back into the world of finance.

And I also knew from previous experience…. I hated it. I hated working customer service. I hated having to pick up the slack of the inevitable “lazy” co-workers. I hate the monotony of doing the same task over and over. I hated being tied down to a 9-5 schedule

As I prepped for my first days at work, I kept asking myself the same question: if I hated this work so much, why did I keep going back to it? I figured, if I was drawn enough to keep applying to this world of finance I must not hate it as much as I think.

I started making a list of what I actually loved about the work I had been doing… I loved training and teaching my team. I loved when I was able to help the customers in a way they didn’t expect. I am an extreme extrovert and loved working with people. I loved being the morale booster, setting up outings and adventures outside of work for our team. I enjoyed being part of companies doing important and essential work.

The list went on, but what it showed me was that there are a lot of aspects of my new adventure I could absolutely learn to love. I could find a way, for the first time in many years, to actually enjoy my job.

One of the things I learned in my entrepreneurial pursuits was that core values are so important as a foundation of any company. I had also learned that I am my own company. Even if I am currently working for someone else.

I am still the very unique brand of myself. I wanted to approach the new job with the intention of showing up as the very best version of myself.

So I went through this practice to uncover my core values. To find what is most important to me in any job I’m doing to ensure I show up as the best version of myself, for myself and for those around me.

I made a cute little graphic to hang on my desk and started asking myself every single morning how I would uphold those values. I was absolutely floored at how quickly nearly every aspect of my life shifted.

I was promoted to a senior role in my department in less than 60 days. I was selected for four different special assignment teams to assist with company wide projects. In less than a year, I was offered another promotion to a new department, one that I didn’t even apply for. I started eating better and exercising regularly. I had energy and focus and direction. Built solely from defining actionable core values that spoke to my heart.

Seeing my own results I knew I wanted to share the process I used with others. I designed the workbook and landed on the title The Live Like You Mean It Workbook because that’s exactly what it helped me do.

It helped me to start living like I meant it. With intention. With direction. Always providing value to those around me.
