The On-Purpose Planet: Where On-Purpose Persons Gather


Where Can I Meet Other On-Purpose Persons?
Years ago a 26-year old man called. "Being on-purpose has transformed my thinking for the better; but I find myself reverting to old patterns of thought and behavior. Where can I meet other on-purpose persons for support and fellowship?" His question is probably the most asked request we get at On-Purpose Partners.

Enter The On-Purpose® Planet!
The On-Purpose Planet responds to the request for meaningful connection. TOPPlanet is a private, monitored online place for on-purpose persons in creation to gather for learning, Q & A, fellowship, and a few laughs. Here we can connect, do life, do business, or just get to know one another in an inspiring learning environment.

Make "The Planet" what works for you to support your heart's desire to be on-purpose. Here some suggestions:

  • Post your questions or best practices in the Forum using the Discussion function.
  • Watch Session 1 free previews of The On-Purpose Leader Experience and The On-Purpose Business Experience in the Forum
  • Download a free preview of The On-Purpose Person from the Forum
  • Look for a Group with a common interest or start your own
  • Use the Blog on your personal profile to chronicle your story of becoming and being an on-purpose person
  • Share your challenges or best practices
  • Get feedback on your purpose statement

On-Purpose Pals
We benefit from being with other on-purpose persons.  You'll call them your OP Pals.  Being On-Purpose® requires effort because it often runs counter to the common culture and creates intended growth. Family and friends may not understand your new normal. Like crabs in a bucket, come well yank you back into your old predictable bad habits. Others will celebrate with you.  Transforming for the better creates greater personal leadership and improvement.

Most of all, connect and make On-Purpose Pals in The On-Purpose Planet... where every person is on-purpose! Their life and yours will be better for it.

Being A Gracious Member

Conduct yourself as a guest in the home your parents' friends.

Anyone is welcome in The On-Purpose® Planet. Plant a few seeds of relationship and see what flourishes.  It is our place to craft.

Spammers and inappropriate language will be summarily banished into cyberspace. I have no bones about banning "members" whose conduct undermines the spirit and intent of being on-purpose. So do your part to report violators and we will do our part to make this a safe place.

If you have any questions about membership or concerns regarding possible spam, please contact Julie Holzmann, the Communications Coordinator - jholzmann (at) on-purpose (dot) com.

Looking inward for purpose and vision

In the discussion on Arne's 'Earning my purpose' post, Kevin suggested I first and foremost look inward when thinking of my purpose and vision. As this was the perspective I started out with, I thought that would be a fairly minor shift in my thinking. I was wrong.

A day of hard thinking left me confused about the on-purpose statements I had written. I think they are still relevant to me, but I do not think I have truly arrived yet.

I had some difficulties with the…

Earning my purpose

I exist to serve by cultivating harmony.

Okay, I've known my purpose for half a week or so now. Am I a happier person for it? In general, I'd put that in the yes column.

I've focused on what is most important to me - my core want. Applying my purpose to my relationship with my children has served me well so far, even if my five-year-old son has not quite grasped the change yet. I'm trying to remain calm and not get angry with him, and he's all over the place and gets angry with…

new to the site and process....

So far I have read the book..... made want lists and tournament. I found what I thought to be my core want is not it at all. This process is helping me reengineer my life after major upset that has defied so many things such that I have not been able to find recourse. So happy to finally have a different way of looking at my life. I cant change anything that has happened... but I can change the future by what I choose to do today.

Finding peace on a bicycle

Yesterday, I was thinking about the empire thing again. Are empires so terrible? Pax Romana [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_romana] is another example of something that seems pretty nice.



On my way to work this morning, I gave another thought to my purpose. We (Kevin, Oliver and I) discussed it yesterday in the comments, and the questions popped up: What does knowledge and understanding give me? What is the dream I want to…

What is The On-Purpose Planet?

Collectively and individually, this community is about the message of being on-purpose penetrating our lives, work, relationships, society, and culture. We call this The On-Purpose® Planet, where every person is on-purpose (and working in an on-purpose business or organization). As a Member here, your every action adds to the larger concept of each person and organization with an articulated purpose making decisions that are on-purpose rather than off-purpose. Together, we are building The On-Purpose® Planet.

For those of us who are tuned into being on-purpose, we need to be gathered, linked, inspired, and learning from one another. The On-Purpose® Approach provides the philosophical skeleton to the community. There are enormous opportunities to “fill out” the many ways and places for this message to be grown and applied.

For example, you can belong to the On-Purpose Business Group (see the Groups column to your left). Here you can discuss sales, marketing, PR, human resources, hiring, financial and business development just to name a few.

Perhaps you have an interest in other topics such as parenting, finances, health & wellness, career, spiritual, or other areas of interest - start a group or a discussion in a Forum. Have at it!

You may have your own materials or thoughts about what it means to be on-purpose. Or you may be coming to this body of work as an avid reader of my books. Either way, you are welcome in The On-Purpose® Planet community. The On-Purpose® Approach is complementary, informative, and supportive of many expressions. Your spirit, voice, and thoughts are needed. Bring your best to the On-Purpose® Planet, the community of people who are about being on-purpose!

The On-Purpose® Planet is also the title of a planned annual gathering of on-purpose persons and Associates. Here, you will mingle and greet other on-purpose persons from around the world. Look for this and other special events in the Events portion of this web site.

All in all... have a blast being on-purpose.

Be On-Purpose!

What Is A Vision?

Vision is a powerful ally in being on-purpose. Are you tapping it to clarify your present and help direct your future?

Have You Thanked A Business Owner Lately?

Business owners are the unsung heroes of society. Most go humbly, quietly, and productively serving their customers and employees with the joy of making a difference.

Are You Full of "Should"?

Stop shoulding on yourself and others. Should is a powerfully debilitating word. It combines the spirit of good intention with a built-in disclaimer of failure.
