Goal setting

I'm not a life coach, I have lived 34 yrs and have seen this throughout my own life...

Goal setting is one of those things that some people have figured out while others do not. Possibly the most important skill that should be taught throughout school and practiced throughout life.

Think about it.. When were you the most happy? Were you working toward a goal? a project, vacation, new business,etc.

If you're like me, you have many roles in life. Maybe it's difficult to think about what "you want" while juggling everything else. I can't tell you how important it is to take the time for yourself and plan your goals.. personal and professional. Write it down and think about it often. If its not written down, or you don't have a plan of action you will leave it to chance..

This is so true when it comes to planning your long term goals of life..Retirement for example.
How do you want your retirement to be? Where do you want to live? What sort of things will you be doing? How much money do you need? How much will you have?

If you think your life is just too busy or you don't feel you have enough money to set aside. You are probably right. However,If you don't take the necessary steps to get there, you will be leaving it to chance and you can probably guarantee that you won't be living out your retirement dreams. Starts with a plan... right now is a good time.

Start by figuring out what you want.. everything else will start to fall in place.
