Making money is an important goal for any business, but what goals do you have to ensure your money-making efforts are successful? The aspects we value most can be the greatest motivators.

For our family, life is more than making ends meet. The journey is all about experiences, travel and individual opportunities. Making memories, elevating people around us and feeling positive is at the core of our life decisions, including business. 

Travelling with our kids, now young adults, and showing them the world is an aspect of life that brings reward in abundance! Giving back and philanthropy are also close to our hearts, and we aren't afraid to admit we enjoy our cars. 

Opportunities come along a lot in life. And there is no greater sinking feeling than having an opportunity arise, and you can't do it. A case of the 'if onlys' can be gut-wrenching. Let's be real, we've all faced some tough decisions in life - like navigating medical choices or lending a helping hand to family in need of financial support. And if you're anything like us, you're not alone in these experiences!

Your financial goal might be helping your community and family financially, a new BMW, investing more into your self-managed fund, buying property, or creating a lifestyle that isn't so hectic. 

Small business has the ability and opportunity to provide financial reward and breadth. It isn't easy; there is hard work involved. However, amazing things can happen when you have a helping hand and are aligned with the right people.

Asking the question of your "WHY?" is crucial for strategy in life and business, it can be the rocket fuel for your "HOW?" Asking these questions will become the foundation for goal setting, strategy and understanding why you do what you do. For example, discovering the real reason you get up each day with a goal in sight can be a motivator, and setting financial goals gives you the push needed for success! Your ambitions just got a turbo boost.

Takeaways

  • Define Your Why: Start by identifying the underlying motivations and values that drive your business decisions and financial goals. This will help you stay focused and motivated on the road to success.

  • Align Your Business and Personal Values: Consider how your business goals align with your personal values and what you want to achieve in life. This will give you a clear sense of purpose and direction.

  • Embrace Collaboration: Surround yourself with a supportive team that shares your values and can help you stay on track towards your goals. Collaborating with others can also bring new perspectives and ideas to the table.

  • Set SMART Goals: Once you have a clear understanding of your values and what you want to achieve, set specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound goals that align with both your business and personal values.

  • Stay Committed: Success takes time and effort. Stay committed to your values and goals, and be willing to make the necessary sacrifices and take calculated risks to achieve them. Celebrate your successes along the way to keep yourself motivated and on track.
