Define Your WHY: Chapter 10: WHY Your Passion can be Your Message and Grow into your WHY?
In this chapter, you may find there is one thing you didn’t think was your passion that you can then develop to be your purpose and message. There are stories about hopes and dreams, sharing what you love, spreading your message, and balancing your life. This chapter will guide you to write your One Word for the year, your Personal Bill of Rights, and your Elevator Speech.
