Figuring out your life's purpose can feel like a daunting endeavor. It's such a big question, and we often confuse purpose with career. We can get lost in our thoughts when we try to answer the question, “Why am I here?” But if you're out of alignment with your purpose, it can throw your whole entrepreneurial “ecosystem” off. Your purpose is not something that will box you in or keep you small- it will make you feel expansive. I've always had an innate sense of my own purpose: to take my soul on a hell of a journey. I have a vision that I will be on my deathbed laughing at where I ended up. The more I accept and embody my purpose, the more it grows and attracts others. To dive deeper into finding your purpose, I've brought on author and “edutainer” Sashka Hanna-Rappl. Sashka is the creator of Soul Brand Marketing® and Brand Your Soul® where she awakens leaders to re-connect and fulfill their life purpose and leave their mark in the world. To find clarity about why you're here on this Earth, download this episode now. THE BADASS DRAGON WARRIOR “Done is better than perfect.” - Sashka Hanna-Rappl Highlights - Life purpose has nothing to do with your profession. Sashka's Soul Tribe are creative visionaries with an underdog mentality who are dormant leaders. Universal desires: freedom, to be desired, sense of achievement, and to support something that matters. The reason we feel disconnected is that an aspect of our life is out of alignment. If you know where you're going to land, it's not a Quantum Leap. When you're swinging from vine to vine, you have to let go. A worksheet for achieving what you want: In the first column, list the things you want to become. In the second column, write the things that are keeping you from that. In the third column, write your limiting beliefs. Clarity often happens when you talk it out.

In today’s episode we talk about Entrepreneurship not being easy. How does one cope alone? Being self-employed or an entrepreneur isn’t the easiest thing to be in the world. Whether a start-up or veteran, anyone can be an entrepreneur but not everyone comes out alive on the other end. Literally and figuratively. How does an entrepreneur come out alive on the other end? One word – tenacity. Consistent DOING can tire your mind, body and soul. Anxiety and depression ensues. As with anything in life, you need to ensure that your entrepreneurial (business) roots are firmly grounded.

I’m sure you’ve all had these moments in life thinking, “what am I living for?” “We get up, go to work, come home, just to start all over again. You think “those people smiling have got it all”. “How do they do it, is it something I can have?” As a kid you may have dreamed of something you want to be one day. It was then either ridiculed or supported. As an adult, you may ask yourself “what am I here for?” Have you ever wondered what it’s like knowing your life purpose? When you’re in a state of surviving, (the necessities of shelter, food, etc), the focus is then no longer on you, but on survival, and this will then deplete your energy. Thus, you will not be able to serve as purpose is big on serving. Serving others when your cup is empty, leads to depression, depletion, tiredness and sickness. In life, there will be highs and lows, but that’s all part of growing. I call it an adventure. POINTS OF INTEREST: Have you achieved what you’ve always dreamt of? Is there something still missing? How do you find that inner satisfaction of knowing you’ve achieved what you set out to do in life Get clarity of the process I have written a Book called Soul’d Out: A Guide to Finding Your Life Purpose. Within this book, there is a 50-page workbook where I ask the reader questions to get the answers within you, to assist you in knowing yourself and your core. Disclaimer: “When your soul is not ready to receive, you won’t be able to see, hear or read anything here, to give you your answers SASHKA SAID: “Finding your life purpose does not define your profession or your career, it’s not what you wanted to become or your ‘why’, but rather the core of who you are”. “You were not made in a day, you needed time”. “Whilst you were being created, growing up with good or bad influences, you consequently changed into who you are today”. “The most important person in your life – is you.” “Take care of yourself first or everything else will ‘swallow you up’.” “No-one cares about you, the way you can and should care about yourself.” “Finding your purpose, gives you clarity and direction in life.” BIOGRAPHY: Mother of three. Born in South Africa, now resides in Austria. At the age of 7 I had a lead role in the Ugly Duckling (I was the Ugly Duckling). I had to advertise myself, the cast and the show and loved it! At that young age I did not yet know about marketing and advertising, but, I guess the ‘bug’ bit me then. I went on to study Marketing and Advertising in South Africa then moved to London with the intention to study performance further, but nothing came of that. My boyfriend at that time suggested we go on holiday in the Tyrolean Alps in Austria. Which is where I met my husband. This is where I’ve been for the past 22 years. My love for Marketing and Advertising got me a job at a large Company in Austria where I worked for about 8 years. I left this company when I was expecting my first born. I’ve never been one to be a ‘stay-at-home mom’ and had strong feelings of starting my own business. After many years of trials, I’ve finally found my purpose which is a Branding/Marketing/Advertising & Sales Strategist – Author/Speaker and Thought Leader. Sashka created Soul Brand Marketing©. In-between the No Name Brand interviews, she meets up with inspiring influencers who have surpassed the beginner “Brand-stages’ and are now ‘influencing’ and challenging others.

ABOUT SASHKA: - nationality: South African - residence: Austria and London (UK) - languages: English, German, Afrikaans - humour: in tact and funnier live - married to one husband - slave to one cat - mother to three cherubs: 12, 10, 8 (all empaths - God help me) - love working with kids - especially teenagers - I think aristotle re-incarnated himself in me - I philosophise waaaay too much for my young age HOW’D I GET TO WHERE I AM NOW? - Got hooked on advertising after being chosen to play the lead role in the Ugly Duckling at age 7 years old. I was the Ugly Duckling (in case you missed that). I had to advertise myself, the show, the cast, create the flyers and realised I was friggin’ good at it. So I took my good looks, creativity and amazing talents and merged them… at age 7 I didn’t know what marketing or advertising was. only that being in the entertainment business you had to market yourself to be noticed and loved. I was my own manager and there was no social media available (how the hell did I do it?!?!?) - I don’t have a ‘story’, I don’t have any PTSD or breakdowns or lost something or someone or had any dis-ease (Disclaimer: and admire those that do have a story like this and coming out better for it). So I hid in the shadows thinking I wasn’t interesting enough - although I really knew I was (complicated). - But I do have a story: I was the mediator between a gambler and worry-pot and lots and lots of money-fights-problems. I grew up despising money for its superficial lustre and wanting to work with those that had dreams and desires (I call them UnderGODS) but felt they weren’t good enough to become leaders in what they do because they didn’t have money (Disclaimer: This is prevalent in teenagers aka whom I love working with). Because I wasn’t very fond of the socialites and always hanging around the rejects-rebels-free-spirits-misfits and visionaries… this is where I found my ‘happy space’. And where I learned to challenge the status quo aka challenge the rich. - Then i got over my desire to belittle rich folk and found my zone of genius: through my creativity and wisdom, I inspire the underGOD in those that are destined to become legendary leaders…. and I brand their souls (it’s not painful - promise). - Oh! I didn’t mention how I got to where I am now: Lived and studied in South Africa (marketing advertising drama dance performance) - moved to London UK to study performance further - the doors closed on that but opened for marketing and advertising. My boyfriend at the time suggested we go to the Tyrolean Alps in Austria for a snowboarding holiday. Which is where I met my husband (oops). Now 21 years later and a lot of ups and downs later. I rule the roost in Austria. TELLING IT STRAIGHT LIKE IT IS: WHAT DO I DO? I’m a Branding | Marketing | Advertising & Sales Strategist - Author - Speaker and Thought Leader. I created Soul Brand Marketing© in my full-service agency BrandSashka e.U. I create and market Soul Brands. But not everyone’s a Nike or Red Bull status and yet they still have a message. I want to know that message and share it with the world to hear. In-between the No Name Brand interviews, I meet up with inspiring Influencers who’ve surpassed the beginner ‘Brand-stages’ and are now ‘influencing’… and I want to challenge that status quo and share with the listeners how that purpose came to flourish and why and how you maintain that influencer status.
