Your success as a small business owner rests on two fundamentals:
- What you choose to focus on.
- The actions you take.
Most business owners aren’t happy. They’re overworked and stressed out much of the time. I think a lot of that unhappiness comes from lousy goal setting.
“I want to make $150,000 this year,” is a lousy goal, compared to, “I want to make $150,000, only working 30 hours a week, and only taking the projects that are truly rewarding.”
The first goal has no constraints. You may end up achieving it – but at the cost of your health, your family, your professional pride and long-term success.
Take time to think about your goals. Use the incredible power of questions to broaden your options, deepen your understanding and acheive more meaningful goals.
