Before you answer this question I’d like you to think about it. Be honest with yourself and don’t take your results from what other people say.

At one time or another you probably set some goals. Use these as a guideline for finding the answer to the question of whether your business is as fulfilling as you would like it to be. If your business is fulfilling it reflects on how fulfilling your life will be too!

Not only is it important to have goals it’s also very important to know exactly why you want to achieve these goals. Your WHY will keep you motivated and moving forward. What will change if you create the results you want? What will happen if you don’t get the results you want?

Goals can continually change and they can be set for all different areas of life. Whether you have a job and getting a promotion is your goal or you want to earn more money as an entrepreneur, it’s all about reaching for a higher standard.

If you’re an entrepreneur it’s extremely important to have goals. Both long term and short term! Twelve months, 6 months, 3 months and 1 month!

As human beings we want to achieve results so we can achieve more and be of more help to others as well as ourselves. Everyone wants their time on this earth to have meaning. It could be just for you or it could be for you and your family or for the whole world.

What are some of your goals and dreams? If you’ve never taken the time to write them down, buy a journal and do just that. Writing is much more powerful than just having them in your head.

No matter how outrageous they seem, write down ALL of your aspirations. The culmination of dreams is not necessarily a lifelong career. You may want to fly a plane but that doesn’t mean you want to be a pilot. Flying a plane is an experience you’d like to have and fulfilling that adds a measure of character to your life.

You may not meet all of your goals and it’s OK. Sometimes unmet goals lead us down a different path so if you don’t achieve a goal don’t let it affect you negatively.

Forget about what other people are doing or achieving, When you start using comparison you are just harming your own level of excitement in the process.

Take a good, long look at your goals and dreams list. Maybe you didn’t even realize you had so many desires! It’s OK to have as many as you want. Your business and life is not necessarily about pursuing one path and staying on it forever. You can make a choice to take a detour or even stop doing something for a while. As a human being you have the ability to make choices and as long as the choice works for you, it’s OK.

Only you can answer the question, “Is Your Business Fulfilling?” It is a question many people would love someone else to answer for them, but if someone else answers for you it will not be correct simply because they are not you. You know yourself better than anyone else does. So…if you’re not sure stop and think about the question before you answer it.

Achieving your goals and dreams will give you the fulfillment you would like in business and in life but always remember to enjoy the journey and have fun too.
