After you’ve decided on your goals, it’s time to take action towards achieving them and also track them. Having annual goals is great, but quite often people are very excited about reaching goals in January and have lost focus on them by February.
Having your goals written down somewhere is great! But now that you have some goals, let’s break them down into different levels! Sometimes a goal is set for the year and it only takes 6 or 10 months to hit that goal. Having different levels for that single goal can mean achieving something even bigger than your original goal!
This is a great way to start off your client relationships. Having a clear and detailed contract to start will mean less confusion and questions around the finer details. Things such as payment details, the amount of notice both parties need to give when ending a contract. There are many online platforms to explore to make contract delivery easy! Be sure to do your research!
This is a great way to start getting a visual of where your money is going. When you have a clear picture of where all of your money is going, it will be easier to make adjustments where necessary so you can stop saying YES to so many hours! Or better yet, build a plan to escape the job you hate!
My personal experience with shift work; I was an unhappy B-I-T-C-H to be around. I couldn’t sleep when I needed to, I was too stressed about what would happen next at work, and when I was tired, I would sleep my entire day away! Some weeks I felt like I never saw my family! It had me on a rollercoaster of mood swings ALL the time!
Work and money come hand in hand, but quite often I find it is not the money or lack of it that is making people unhappy. If you got paid more money at your current J-O-B do you think it would make you happier? I’m sure it would momentarily but the excitement would disappear quite quickly!
