Happy Hump Day, everyone! I hope you guys are having an amazing week to this point. Today I was looking at what to talk about around #roadto40 stuff, and I realized that the video last week didn’t dive much into the types of goals to create, so I wanted to get complete with that topic and dive a bit deeper.

I showed you the document for managing your goals on your way to the next version of yourself. But where do you come up with the goals and how they relate to your end game? It starts by looking at your end state, part of my end state was to be running my own company, not necessarily full time, but I want to have an LLC, that I run properly. In order to do that, I looked at what it takes to run a business to Finance, HR, Business Plans and legal topics, just to name a handful.

I wanted to be a better Partner for Amy and a better Dad for my kiddos, so I looked at where I struggle in those two areas. Organization is a big issue in both areas, whether it’s schedule or home project or honey-do type stuff, I am all over the place. I am not like that in business or these projects. So I started looking at books on organization, communicating better, setting goals as a family, coming up with a scheduling strategy that works for all of us.

Those are just a couple examples, but the key is to look at the end state, decide what it will take to get there and just start listing out things that could help you get there. You may not use everything you list out, you may use ALL of it. The key is to start trying to learn and grow, if you go down the wrong path and realize the plan you had isn’t right, pivot. Choose something else and try again.

There is no set path or predetermined path forward for anyone, especially if you are trying to do amazing things. Be persistent, flexible and open to change. You won’t regret it, I hope this helps!

Take care of yourself, take care of those around you and remember to be you, because you are truly one of a kind and that is the purest beauty that exists in this world.
