Episode Notes

In this episode of East Trade Winds, we take a step back from business tactics to focus on something even more powerful: your personal mission statement.

Wayne Pratt, founder of Motive8U and seasoned business coach, shows us how to create a purpose statement in under 15 minutes that can re-align your personal and professional life.

Hosted by Bernie Franzgrote and Wayne himself, this engaging session guides listeners through a simple but impactful writing exercise using three lists: your values, your talents, and your life roles.

Through this hands-on approach, Wayne and Paula (our dynamic guest facilitator) help participants create real, raw mission statements on the spot—and the results are powerful.

You’ll hear mission statements from audience members like:

• “I want to live in a world of communication and insight…”
• “I want to live in a world of love and truth…”
• “I want to live in a world of curiosity…”

Their words show how this one exercise can open doors to confidence, career focus, and emotional resilience.

Whether you’re leading a team or building your business solo, this episode helps you reconnect with your why—the reason you started it all.
