“People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.” Customers and employees are drawn to the purpose behind your actions. When your why aligns with their beliefs, you build a loyal following that transcends transactions.

Why People Follow You 🤝

Focusing solely on profit leads to short-term gains but fails to inspire. Companies like Apple succeed because their why centers on innovation and challenging the status quo. Profit is a result, not the purpose.

Why Over Profit 💼

Loyalty isn’t about price or features—it’s about values. Customers and employees who share your why stick with you, even when competitors offer similar or better options.

Loyalty Comes from Shared Beliefs ❤️

Stories resonate emotionally, making your why relatable and memorable. Share stories that illustrate your purpose and how it impacts others to build stronger connections.

Storytelling Amplifies Your Why 🎥

Your why must be genuine. Sinek emphasizes that authenticity builds trust, a key driver of loyalty. Customers and employees can sense insincerity, so stay true to your purpose in every decision.

Build Trust Through Authenticity 🛡️

Starting with why isn’t just about immediate success; it’s about creating a legacy. Leaders and organizations with a strong purpose inspire others long after they’re gone, leaving a meaningful impact.

Your Why Shapes Your Legacy 🌱

Sinek introduces the Golden Circle framework:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Why: The core purpose or belief driving your actions.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">How: The methods or values that support the why.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">What: The products or services you offer.</li></ul>Great leaders and organizations start with why, creating a deep emotional connection that inspires trust and loyalty.

The Golden Circle 🎯

Scaling doesn’t mean diluting your purpose. Successful organizations maintain consistency in their why across teams, products, and markets. Every decision reflects their core belief.

How Great Organizations Scale Their Why 📦

Learn how great leaders and organizations inspire loyalty and achieve lasting success by starting with their purpose—their why.

The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever.   START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over?   People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it.    START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.
