Identify WHAT you do
Fill out the outer circle and ask yourself these questions:

- What actions do I take?

Focus on WHY you do it
Your why is what sets you apart from everyone else. It’s what inspires you to take action, but it’s also what inspires others to take action, spread your ideas, or buy your products.
Fill out the inner circle and ask yourself these questions:
- What is my purpose?
- What do I believe in?
- What drives me as a person or as an organization?
- Why does my company or organization exist?
- Why do I get up in the morning?
