📰 You Are Perfectly Designed — Week 21

Dear Dream-Builder,

You’ve survived systems meant to break you. You’ve made it through prison bars, broken homes, addiction, or deep valleys of mental health.

Now you’re standing at the edge of something powerful: a new life you’re building from the ground up.

This week, we’re focusing on the one thing that keeps every second-chance entrepreneur going when the money runs low, the motivation fades, and the struggle hits hard:

👉 Purpose.

🔍 What Is Purpose? Purpose is your reason for getting up when you feel like giving up.

It’s what gives your hustle heart. It’s the fuel behind your business, your healing, and your story.

Your purpose might be to:

Break generational curses Provide a better life for your children Prove that your past doesn’t define you Create opportunities for others like you Whatever it is, your business should serve it not distract from it.

🧭 Your Purpose Will Keep You Focused When you know your "why":

You stay consistent longer. You say no to things that don’t align. You bounce back from failure faster. You grow with more clarity and confidence. As motivational speaker Eric Thomas says:

“When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.” That’s what purpose feels like. It breathes life into your goals.

🙌 Real Stories of Purpose in Action Claudia Shivers didn’t just start a coffee business after prison. She created a purpose-driven brand to honor her grandmother and support others returning home.

Josh Nowack, after serving time for fraud, launched a T-shirt company with a mission to employ other ex-offenders. His purpose became his brand.

And you? You might be the voice, the leader, the bridge someone else needs.

Your past is not your punishment. It’s your platform.

🛠 Finding Your Purpose Starts Here If you’re not sure what your purpose is yet, ask yourself:

What breaks your heart that you want to fix? What do people always come to you for? What challenge did you overcome that others still face? What would you do for free because it brings you joy? Then align your business and your lifestyle with those answers.

✅ Quick Purpose Wins Write down your “why” and post it where you’ll see it daily Say no to one thing this week that doesn’t serve your purpose Help someone else who’s walking a path you’ve already survived Name your business mission in one sentence.
