Beginning With The End in Mind
Lately I have been contemplating the nature of my business as it relates to my personal life. As Michael Gerber of The E-Myth Revisited states, “Before you can determine what that role [of your business] will be, you must ask yourself these questions: What do I value most? What kind of life do I want? What do I want my life to look like, to feel like? Who do I wish to be? Your PRIMARY AIM is the answer to all these questions.”
The Million Dollar Questions:
- What do I value most?
- What kind of life do I want?
- What do I want my life to look like, to feel like?
- Who do I wish to be?
