Are you doing your one big thing?

Our guest today is Phil Cooke. He's president of Cooke Media Group in Burbank California and he's been an influencer on the television and media market with a focus on faith-based organizations. Phil is also an author with several best selling books including "The One Big Thing"

Phil will ask us 4 questions to help us find the one thing we were meant to do in life:

1. What comes easy for you, what did you do when you were young everyone said you were good at.
2. What do you love: what makes you happy and brings you joy. That will give you the energy to make it through.
3. What drives you crazy, most people like working on things they want but for many people like working on something they don't like, passion for helping impoverish, homeless, or just a need that isn't being met. TD Jakes, "Your ministry is your misery."
4. What do you want to leave behind? How do you want to be remembered when you're gone.

Phil shares that he lived in fear for years that he didn't focus on his accounting as a business owner. It wasn't until he was shown it wasn't in his gift set, so it's ok to focus on what your good at rather trying to be better on what you're not good at.
