“When you values are clear to you, making decisions become easier,” Roy Disney~Executive.

A large component of your visions for your life and business will be determined by setting goals effectively.  A good place to start is by asking yourself, “Where do I envision myself in five years, or even 10 years?”  “What would I like my life to look like?”  “How can I use my business to get me to that place?”  “What impact can I make on others using my business as a vessel?”

These questions and similar ones will cause you to think beyond the surface, and help you to identify your true motivations and aspirations.

How do you view success?  Many people grew up with a negative attitude toward the word “success”.  They were raised to believe that if you focused on having success in your life, it immediately branded you as being narcissistic or materialistic?  But is that always the case?
