I know this is how it can feel at times – you’re
right at the basket, and you’re desperately trying
to make the shot only everyone’s opinions and
your own self doubt are getting in the way…
But here it is, your step by step guide to slam dunk
or even alley-oop your purpose into the hoop
uncovering what lies within your heart. But, before
we begin, a few essential pointers to get the
maximum value from your Work Book.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT FILTER ANY OF YOUR
ANSWERS.
Do not stop, think nor deliberate – just write, and
when you think you’ve written down everything –
take a deep breath and write down at least 3 more.
OK. Ready? Are you sure? Pens at the ready,
because you’re about to take action…

Step One – The Time Machine
Lets go back to your childhood - when you where
around 9 – 12 years old and what used to make you
laugh out loud. Remember to write everything that
comes into your head and filter nothing.
What / who did you want to be when you wereyounger (approx. 9 to 12 years old)?
Who was your idol?
What was your favourite TV programme?
Copyright © 2014 by katholden.com. All rights reserved
Step One – The Time Machine
In your wildest dreams what or who did you wantto be?
Who was it in the programmes that you loved?
If it was Monkey because he had a magic cloud that
appeared when he whistled… I think you may be in
a little trouble…

Step One – The Time Machine
Who were your role models when you wereyounger?
The reason you go back to your childhood is to
remember the fun and games you used to play. If
you’ve ever watched a small child lost in their own
world of make-believe, you get to see the
unconscious playing full out – not caring what the
world thinks - just pure, carefree joy.
These questions have allowed you to uncover who
you would have loved to have been.

Step Two – The Joy Factor
What have been your happiest, most joyfulevents?
List your absolute highlights
What was happening? What were you doing?Who was around you?

Step Two – The Joy Factor
Themes / Common Threads?Your head is probably buzzing at this stage and I’m
positive you’re really eager to do one of two things
right now…
1. you’re raring to turn the page and keep on
going, or
2. you’re lost back in Injun country, spitting pea
shooters at the dog.
It doesn’t matter because whatever you’re doing,
your unconscious is working overtime and right
about now you’ll be discovering repeating themes
and co-incidences.

Step Three – The Activity Road Show
Do you remember It’s A Knockout? Well, this
chapter is going to be a little like that only with less
water…
What I want you to do now is switch your thinking
to actual, physical doing. Or, to be precise,
thinking of when you where actually physically
doing!
Confused? Then my work here is done.
Now, I want you to think back over your life and in
all areas of your life and list the activities you’ve
done that lit up your soul.
And remember, when you feel you have listed
everything, you take a deep breath, and write at
least three more in each section. Take your time
over this one.
Now, pick up your pen and start scribbling…
What activities make you really happy, excited,joyful in your PERSONAL life?
Copyright © 2014 by katholden.com. All rights reserved
Step Three – The Activity Road Show
What activities make you really happy, excited,joyful in your PROFESSIONAL life?
What activities make you really happy, excited,joyful in your SOCIAL life?
Copyright © 2014 by katholden.com. All rights reserved
Step Three – The Activity Road Show
What activities make you really happy, excited,joyful in your SPIRITUAL life?
You’ve gotta remember this, right? A Saturday night
essential… not that I expect you to be listing
activities like, carrying buckets of water over
greasy poles or rolling logs, whilst your mates are
squirting water or throwing custard pies at you.
Well, not in the spiritual section anyway…

Without trying to give you nightmares, this is the
part of the programme when we are going to enlist
the help of others.
Think of it a little like Britain’s Got Talent. You’re
up there giving it your all and when you’ve finished,
you turn to the judges for their feedback. But, do
not fear – there will be no Mr Cowell on your panel –
these guys are letting you know what they love
about you and what they believe you’re natural
gifts are.
I can guarantee some of their answers will surprise
you – our greatest talents are normally what we
take for granted and we have no idea the huge
impact they have.
So, once you’ve written down what you believe are
your greatest attributes – you’re then going to ask
your family and your friends, what they see you as
being naturally great at.
What are your greatest talents and naturalabilities?
Step Four – The Charlie’s Angel Has Talent
Copyright © 2014 by katholden.com. All rights reserved
Alesha – what do you think are my gifts andwhat do you love about me?
David – what do you think are my gifts and whatdo you love about me?
Simon – what do you think are my gifts and whatdo you love about me?
Amanda – what do you think are my gifts andwhat do you love about me?
Step Four – The Charlie’s Angel Has Talent
p.s. you realise I’m just being funny, right? I don’t expect you to phone Simon Cowell. Your Mum and your best mates, your boss or yourbrother or sister will be great people to ask too.

What is the ONE most important thing I wouldlove to accomplish in my personal life?
Step Five – “Now Angels, No Conclusion Leaping”Charlie Townsend on speaker phone
This is the step where we tune into our daydreams
and our imagination – with no conclusion leaping!
Just keep reminding yourself to trust whatever your
heart is telling you.
Now, I’m asking you to write just ONE thing that
speaks to you from your heart. And it doesn’t
matter if you think this one thing may be impossible
to achieve. Write it down.

As you know by now, as a child I wanted to be one
of Charlie’s Angels. When I first asked myself this
next question, I Googled, ‘what are the essential
characteristics of Charlie’s Angels?”
And this was the answer;
1. Arse kicking
2. Hair
3. Fashion sense
4. Sweet ride
5. Intelligence
6. Deadly aim
7. Taste in men
8. Athletic prowess
I don’t think I have to say any more than that
really…
What are the characteristic traits you love inothers?
What are the characteristic traits you dislike inothers?
Step Six – Your Essential Characteristic Traits
Copyright © 2014 by katholden.com. All rights reserved
What you’re actually doing now, is identifying the
qualities and values that are important to you.
Using others around us as a mirror can be really
helpful in discovering your purpose as well as
getting to know yourself better.
Personally, I believe mirroring is a great way to see
yourself and get a clearer understanding on where
you’re at right now… it is however, quite acceptable
to not count mirroring, if like me you find yourself
surrounded by friends who are completely bonkers.
Sometimes people are just bonkers – nothing to do
with me or you, at all.
Trust yourself – you are getting closer to your
purpose and you are getting closer to creating your
dream life.
What are the characteristic traits you arecommitted to living?

Step Seven – The Legacy of You
These next questions are for all areas in your life.
I WANT, I WANT, I WANT…
This is your time to get as creative as you like.
Listen to what’s bubbling up into your head and
write it all down – do not filter anything.
Just let your story come to life.

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen is a kick-arse
seven step guide to finding your purpose.
I don’t know about you, but I’m bloody exhausted
and so, true to my CA inspired characteristics, I’m
off in my sweet ride for a spot of retail therapy
then onto the hairdressers where I’m going to take
deadly aim at the next man to walk through the
door…
Remember, this is not rocket science. Don’t make
this difficult for yourself. Trust yourself. You know
the answers because they are you – beautiful,
unique you.
With much love and athletic prowess,
