As you plan your small business, you may think you’re planning the job of your dreams. But one of the problems many entrepreneurs struggle with is that they allow their lives to be defined by their jobs, rather than the other way around. Instead of striving for your perfect job, why not strive for your perfect life?
One way to do this in conjunction with your small business is to list your priorities. What’s most important to you? Spending time with loved ones? Travel? Health? When you list your goals, you’ll notice that while they may not include making tons of money, many of them do require money. That’s where your small business comes in.
