Does your current level at work help you achieve your financial goals?

If not, what could you start to do to step up or increase your impact at work?

Refer back to your money plan.

Is your professional life aligned with what
your money life needs to give you?

We all enter the workplace wanting the dream job to pay for that expensive
car and to be able to live in a nice big house, travelling the world with our
generous holiday packages don’t we?

But then reality hits and we see it’s wholly impossible to do all these things
based on our current levels of income. Obviously, the example here is
deliberately over the top but there is a serious point here about earning
enough to provide for the lifestyle we wish to enjoy.

Depending on the life stage you’re at this may be funding the next house
move or perhaps plotting out how to provide that nice holiday each year. I
found when I was in employment that my ambition and goals with reference
to what I wanted to build in terms of lifestyle could not be matched by the
role I was in at work so something had to give. I had to either a) adjust my
ambition to meet the potential earnings in this position or b) move on to find
something that can provide what I need.

The risk in doing nothing for me was the resentment that might manifest or
the frustration in knowing that I can never achieve what I want to achieve.
Now I work for myself it’s on me to create income streams that can better
support the lifestyle I wish to build for me and the family.

With that comes different pressures to those in employment but
the question still remains; does how I have set my business up today
create the opportunity to earn what I need to earn?
