023 John Bale | To be More Successful, You MUST Know Your Purpose

John’s friend died in a blast in Afghanistan and it changed the trajectory of his career, life & purpose. He spent 12 years in the Australian Army, serving twice in Afghanistan and progressed to leadership roles in the military. During this, he completed a masters in Strategy & Policy & a masters in management studies. Since then, John Co-Founded and led Soldier On Australia ( @soldieronaustralia ) as CEO and a few years ago became Managing Director when Co-Founding Fortem Australia ( @FortemAustralia  ) which provides specialized wellbeing and mental fitness support to first responder families. In this conversation we don’t only clarify what John’s purpose is… …we also clarify how he found his purpose. ----------------------------------- “Success is not something you achieve, it’s a constant evolving thing that is never achievable.” ----------------------------------- This conversation talks about the conflicts we face between purpose & happiness. And while they are vastly different, they both contribute to our success. And the core of this message is that your purpose can’t just focus on any one area of your life. It must be holistic across your role as a colleague, leader, parent, spouse, friend, sibling, child & member of your community. Enjoy!   P.S. If you know someone who is struggling to clarify their purpose and live life with holistic success, share this with them! They'll thank you later!
