Having a purpose can help you stand out in a crowded market.
“Are we lost? I think we are going backward.”
Toby and I sit down in the main lobby near the animatronic dinosaur, Bella, to check our museum map. We aren’t sure how to move through the museum in a logical manner to capture video for our audience and share the natural history of New Mexico.
“Can I help you?”
Tom, a volunteer docent at the museum, is wearing a blue vest, a nametag, and a facemask.
We’re happy and relieved to get the answers we need.
“This museum is about the history of New Mexico through time, is that correct?” Toby asks.
“Yes, we focus on New Mexico, but it is more than that. It starts with the creation of the earth and moves forward in time through billions of years. There are eight time periods and they go in order.
You start up there at number one.” Tom points upstairs to a banner showing the number 1.
We look down at the map and he points to the corresponding numbers.
Understanding clicks for us.
Now we can make a plan.
As a content entrepreneur, it can be tempting to try and figure everything out on your own. After all, you are a self-starter and you’re used to relying on your own skills and knowledge to get things done.
However, there comes a time when turning to an expert for help is a better option than trying to go it alone.
While it’s possible to learn almost anything on your own through research, trial and error, and experimentation, seeking help from an expert can help you save time and resources.
Experts have a wealth of knowledge and experience, and they can often help you avoid common mistakes that would otherwise set you back. They can also help you identify the best practices in your industry and help you implement them effectively.
One of the best ways to get expert help is to hire a coach or consultant. These professionals specialize in helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses and achieve their goals. They have a deep understanding of the industry and can help you develop strategies that are tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.
A coach or consultant can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, and provide guidance on how to leverage your strengths and overcome your weaknesses.
They can also help you develop a clear plan of action for achieving your goals, and provide accountability and support along the way.
A coach or consultant can provide you with an objective perspective on your life or business. They can help you identify blind spots that you may not be aware of and provide feedback that can help you improve and grow.
They can also introduce you to new ideas and concepts that you may not have considered on your own.
So, if you’re struggling to make progress on your own, consider seeking help from an expert. It could be the best investment you ever make in yourself or your business.
While Toby and I walk around the Natural History Museum wearing our NM Day Trips vests and hats, a few people come up to us and ask for directions. They think we work here.
They have a false impression that we work here because they don’t look closely enough to see that we are just like them, a little lost.
I suppose we do a better job of looking confident because we know we’ll figure it out together. We look like “the people in charge.”
The people who ask us for help are in need of direction. They turn to the nearest thing that looks like an authority.
We did our best to help them, but a real authority could answer all their questions and give them exactly what they need.
During our time in the museum, we keep running into Tom. He continues offering us answers and directions.
If only our spiritual guides would pop up and speak to us so clearly when we need guidance in life.
He is the expert so we listen to him carefully.
By the time we walked through the museum twice, we understood how it was laid out and where everything was located.
There were signs to follow, but we didn’t notice them at first. Tom pointed them out to us and explained what they meant.
We had to look carefully and learn from an expert which path to take.
As we gained experience, we felt more confident and we could develop a plan of what to see and what to record for our YouTube channel and website.
We were less likely to miss out on a valuable exhibit or experience.
But, if we had talked with Tom the moment we entered the museum, we would have saved a lot of time.
We learn from the expert, then we share that knowledge with more people.
That’s how we help others on both our YouTube channels, New Mexico Day Trips and Garage Prospecting.
That’s the purpose behind all the content we create and distribute.
As a content entrepreneur, it’s important to have a strong purpose behind the content you create. A strong purpose not only helps guide your content creation process, but it also helps you stay motivated and connected to your audience.
When you have a strong purpose behind your content, you can create content that truly resonates with your audience. Your purpose will drive the topics you choose, the way you present your content, and the tone of your writing.
When you have a strong purpose, your content becomes more than just words on a page, it becomes a way to connect with your audience on a deeper level.
Having a strong purpose also helps you stay motivated.
As a content entrepreneur, you will probably face challenges and setbacks along the way.
When you have a purpose that is meaningful to you, it becomes easier to push through those challenges and stay focused on your goals. It gives you a reason to keep going, even when things get tough.
So, how do you develop your own purpose as a content entrepreneur?
The first step is to reflect on what you truly care about.
Once you have a sense of what you care about, it’s important to think about your unique perspective.
Finally, it’s important to think about your audience.
By answering these questions, you can develop a purpose that is unique to you and your content.
Your purpose should be something that inspires you and connects you to your audience.
It should be something that you are truly passionate about and that can drive your content creation process.
Having a strong purpose behind your content is essential as a content entrepreneur. It helps you create content that resonates with your audience, stay motivated, and make an impact in the world.
By taking the time to reflect on what you truly care about, your unique perspective, and your audience’s needs, you can develop a purpose that is meaningful and inspiring.

Now for this week’s poem.
As a content entrepreneur, it can be tough
To keep creating content that’s strong and enough.
But having a strong purpose is the key
To keep your motivation and creativity.
A coach or consultant is a great idea
To help you grow and make things clear.
They can help you identify your strengths and needs
And guide you to success with careful leads.
So if you’re feeling stuck or in a bind,
Remember that it’s okay to ask for help and find
The best source of guidance that you can
To achieve your goals with a purposeful plan.
With a strong purpose and help from the best
You can create content that outshines the rest.
So keep pushing forward, and don’t give up the fight
Your content will be brilliant, and shine so bright!
This week, think about your purpose for creating content or for whatever it is that you do every day. When you know your purpose, it will guide you along the right path whenever you need to make a decision.
I hope you’ll join me again next week because my purpose is to help creators make a positive impact by sharing their purpose and message with the world.
