Umm.... What is an MTP? 🚀

Welcome to the OPPO FLOW Storybook.

Each week I fly an entertaining and motivating story that provides actionable items to inspire growth towards your success and happiness.

The weekly flights bring you one of the following:

A MINDSET SHIFT to prepare for opportunity and build better habits towards success. 🤯

Or…

AN OPPORTUNITY STORY sharing inspirational pivotal moments from someone’s life that changed their trajectory in a positive way. 🚀

Having PURPOSE in life gives you direction.

It’s what drives you to continue moving forward.

Without a purpose, you lose sight of who you are and what you’re striving for.

This causes lack of energy, care, motivation, and sometimes brings depression.

• We all have a purpose for being here. 🙋🙋‍♀️

• We all have something to give to this world. 🌎

• We all have passions and things that we love to do. 😍

• We all have a story and many more impactful stories to create. 📚

When you define your purpose, it goes from solely focusing on your own passions to “What is the impact you have on others through those passions?”

This becomes your rallying cry for others to join your community.

You become a servant to your Purpose and your Purpose serves your tribe.

Below are some examples…

• Providing for your family or being a great parent.

• Inspiring others through your creativity.

• Giving back to your community.

• Protecting the environment.

• Promoting social justice.

• Being an entrepreneur.

• Educating children.

• Serving others.

For this week’s FLIGHT 🛫, I challenge you to take it a step further to define your MASSIVE TRANSFORMATIVE PURPOSE (MTP).

Peter Diamandis is the GODFATHER of this concept. 🙌

Your MTP is extremely personal and is used as a guide for your true meaning of life.

This helps you remain in alignment, make decisions, and overcome obstacles.

This is what you leverage to decide what to do and what not to do.

Your MTP is uniquely yours and the foundation for how you will dedicate your life.

This is your calling, your overall purpose, and the motivation to fulfill your perception of success.

DREAM BIG! 🤩

Reference your Personal Core Values (👈Flight #018) and ask yourself the following questions to provoke thoughts, ideas, and inspiration as you define your MTP…

1. What are things that bring you the most joy?

2. What are you really great at?

3. What was your childhood dream?

4. What are your current passions?

5. What are you most excited about?

6. If I gave you all the resources in the world, what would you do and who would call you an absolute legend?

I just watched the movie A Million Miles Away on Amazon Prime.

It’s an incredible true story about Jose Hernandez and his path from a migrant farm worker to becoming an engineer and an astronaut with NASA. 👨‍🚀

It’s a tale of perseverance, community, and sacrifice to accomplish a dream.

One of my favorite lines from the movie came from his wife, Adela.

As Jose was grappling with the notion of giving up after multiple failed acceptance letters, she said…

“For those who were accepted, what do they have… that you don’t?”

Basically, she was saying that he was no different than anyone else and he just needed identify what they had in order to present the best version of himself in the eyes of the decision makers.

To put in the work, add to his skillset, and prepare for his dream.

• He worked out and started running. 🏃‍♂️

• He became certified in scuba. 🤿

• He learned to speak Russian. 🗣️

• He earned his pilot’s license. 👨‍✈️

You can only apply to the space program once a year and Jose applied TWELVE TIMES until he was accepted. 😱

Let’s use one’s general purpose of Becoming an Astronaut as an example of how to break down and develop their MASSIVE TRANSFORMATIVE PURPOSE in order to achieve what is seemingly the impossible. 🚀

Consider the scope, scale, and impact.

Be ambitious and far-reaching here.

THINK BIG!

This should represent a significant and impactful goal or mission.

Instead of wanting to just become an astronaut for yourself, think about the impact you will have on others by BEING an astronaut.

Now this moves off of you and onto others.

This motivates you even more to SUCCEED because you are telling yourself that it not only matters to you, but also to everyone else around you.

Now it’s MASSIVE.

THIS is the IMPACT.

They want to become an astronaut…

…for the Future of Humanity.

Consider the status quo and the positive change you aim to achieve long term.

How will you change an industry or product or the lives of others?

Work for the improvement of something to an elite level.

Being TRANSFORMATIVE is to bring a mindset shift that will change how people think about something.

An astronaut doesn’t just want to go to space.

They want to become an astronaut to…

…Explore the Depths of the Universe

Consider the reasons why and for whom you want to serve.

This is your ultimate WHY. 🤔

Self-reflect and understand the deep reasoning for what you want to achieve.

Seek inspiration through others and spend some time practicing mindfulness.

An astronaut doesn’t want to work at NASA, just to work at NASA.

They want to become an astronaut…

…to Bring Awareness…

Now that we’ve had an opportunity to self-reflect and break down our each part of the MTP, we can put it together in a concise, strong, and easy to remember personal statement to live by.

Instead of their purpose solely being to Become an Astronaut…

…their MASSIVE TRANSFORMATIVE PURPOSE is…

Want to know one of the coolest reasons for defining your MTP?

IT NEVER ENDS.

Once they become an astronaut their original general purpose is achieved.

When goals are achieved, we can lose motivation, direction, and go on auto-pilot.

Constant growth and learning keeps the motivation at a peak level. 📈

Your MASSIVE TRANSFORMATIVE PURPOSE is ongoing, it greatly impacts others, and provides a constant drive to make a difference.

This is the MINDSET SHIFT. 🤯

The above is my MTP. 

• MASSIVE = Millions

• TRANSFORMATIVE = Mindset Shift

• PURPOSE = Towards their Own Success

I have a LOOONG WAY to go before I reach millions, but that’s why it’s MASSIVE.

I am DREAMING BIG and so should YOU. 🫵

Because I remain in alignment with this MTP every single day, the progress is my fulfillment.

Putting in the work to create opportunities and take action when they’re aligned.

This is the OPPO FLOW MINDSET. (👈 yep, that’s a link)

You are witnessing the positive effects this mindset can have through me and I want nothing else, but for you to develop it for yourself to achieve your DREAMS. 🤩

In an effort to remain aligned with my MTP, I built a Playbook you can use to define your MTP below.
