Business and Life Planning With Purpose | Grow to Greatness: Small Business and Real Estate Business Advice from the Nation's Leading Business Coach, Cheri Alguire
The only way to start and maintain a successful business is to do so with a clear purpose. It’s impossible to create a long-lasting and successful business unless you have a far-reaching telescope. Something has to keep driving you to do what you do, or else your business will fall under due to empty goals. Purpose provides the foundation of our values, vision and goals. Purpose gives meaning to everything we do in our personal and professional lives, yet not all of us recognize our purpose or can articulate it.
Whenever I begin coaching someone that is the first part of business that I always walk my clients through. If they don’t have a definite purpose, they can’t build their business on a solid foundation. It all starts by asking yourself questions that may be difficult to answer. When we’re young, we know what our passion is and we don’t care about the obstacles that might occur. We have high hopes and big dreams. In a way, finding our purpose is like back-tracking into our youth and really looking at what we want for ourselves and our future irregardless of everything around us.
Then, I move from personal goals to business goals and have my client really dig deep into consideration of where he/she is professionally and where he/she would like to go. Sometimes we get stuck in professions we never wanted to be in. There are times when it seems like it’s too late to change professions and there are too many responsibilities, but when it comes to personal and life fulfillment, changing professions is the key to most people’s happiness if they feel like they are in a rut.
Find what you want and go after it. Having a purpose is one of the most important things in starting a business and maintaining a business. Don’t overlook this in your action plans for next year. It’s never too late to start business planning, so get your year off to a GREAT start with a GREAT purpose!
