Solving 10 Real Life Problems from Thinking to Thriving Action

1. Why do I feel a lack of purpose at work?

You’re disengaged because your daily tasks don’t align with your core values.
Action: Journal your top 3 values, then pitch a new project that taps into those values.
Thriving Outcome: You’ll reignite passion and create a career with meaning.

2. Why is my team underperforming?

Because there’s misalignment in roles, unclear goals, or low engagement.

Thriving Outcome: A united team working with clarity and momentum.

3. Why is my business constantly facing cash flow issues?

You’re spending more than you’re bringing in—or the timing of inflow/outflow is misaligned.

Thriving Outcome: Predictable financial control and breathing space for growth.

Thriving Outcome: Health gains that stick—and build on each other.
