Life Goal Planning: Step one is to identify.

In response to a request to cover this topic, I want to offer up some initial thoughts on how to create life goals. I’ll offer suggestions up in pieces so that it is easy to do and hopefully will help plan accordingly.

So, what is a life goal?  That is the first question to answer.  For some, that is a career goal. For others, it can mean financial freedom or success, which also vary by person.  For others it can be a fitness goal or to have a romantic relationship by a specific point in time.  Think about what it is you mean when you say life goal.  It could mean all of these things and more!

Once you have identified your goal, it’s time to really think about what it is you specifically want to achieve.  So, if you say, “I want to eliminate debt,” that can mean different things to different people. For one person, it could be paying off a student loan while for another, it could be paying off any debt including mortgage, car payments, credit cards, etc.  Be very specific about what it is you want to achieve and ideally identify the timeframe you would like to achieve it by.

You’re off into the first step in planning your goal!
