Integrating personal goals with financial goals will move mountains
Thriving in a fast-paced corporate world means navigating the ever changing ebb and flow of business. It’s easy to become immersed in the daily routine of deadlines and demands while striving to remain on top of your game. Though you are richly rewarded with a handsome pay check, the sweetness of success constantly hungers for more of your energy. As a result, clarifying personal values for you and your family may fall by the wayside. Why plan for the future today when there’s always tomorrow? The kids are young – or perhaps you haven’t yet started a family and anyway, you’ve got an important presentation in just a few hours.
Focusing on the big picture
Perhaps you are 30- or 40-something in age and harbor an ambitious appetite for success. Determined as ever, nothing gets in the way of your aspirations, even at the expense of addressing your son or daughter’s college education and finally purchasing that second home, to name a few. Who has enthusiasm for these details after working a 60-hour week?
Establishing a personal action plan is not so easy
Even on a daily basis, the decisions that you make as a professional, spouse or parent can reap enormous consequences both favorable and unfavorable if not well thought out. Eventually, the future will tap on your shoulder and call upon vital milestones that should already be safeguarding your family.
Why we cannot see the forest for the trees
Getting caught up in the backwash of day-to-day objectives tends to override long term goals. While you are busy harvesting the fruits of your career, time is diligently taxing your future. You never know when life will throw a curve ball, pulling the proverbial rug from beneath your capable feet, leaving you and your family scrambling for solutions.
Weathering the consequences of a corporate lay off
No time is more critical to question your existence than after the jolt of a job loss. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Did you see it coming? Have you efficiently managed your assets? Most corporate executives and employees are blindsided by company layoffs that seemingly occur overnight when in fact, they missed telltale signs. Losing half of a household income from one day to the next can leave a family in a state of panic, struggling with a plan of action. With proper planning and support, these high levels of stress are replaced with direction and confidence.
