Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Passion To Purpose with Amy McLaren
[1:48] – Amy shares something that she believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- You don’t have to know how to do everything when it comes to the thing you are working on.
- She didn’t know everything when she started her non-profit, she just jumped in.
- “You don’t have to see the full staircase to take the first step.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
[3:20] – Amy’s new book is called Passion to Purpose – Amy, who did you write this book for?
- First person – Those who have no passion.
- Second person – Those who feel they’ve lost themselves.
- Third person – Those who know what their passion is, but they want to do more in the world.
[5:36] – How do you define passion?
- Something that really lights you up. Something that you really enjoy.
[7:15] – What is something simple that someone can do to unlock their passion?
- Take a piece of paper, draw a straight line down the middle, and go back and take a look at your life. Go back 10, 20, 30 years ago – look for commonalities.
[8:55] – What tips do you have to help someone get out of their comfort zone, eliminate self-doubt, and finally take action on the things they love?
- First thing is doing your timeline – actually put it in your calendar.

- Personal Category – Give people experiences. Involve your kids in doing good in the world.
[16:47] – How do you transition from an act of kindness to a movement of change?
- Three things – Start. Be Clear. Stay Consistent.
- Whatever you are doing, you have to keep moving towards the direction that lights you up.
