Goals

Without goals, you’re aiming at nothing and hitting it each time. They give us each a target to aim at.

Whether we are business owners or busy moms of littles, having something to aim at is crucial. The best ones are based on what is most important to us and they help each of us to keep in mind what we hold most dear.

They should help us with a game plan as we journey through life, to help us get where we need to go in every area of our lives.

Goals Remind us What We’re Trying to Do

When I had five young children all under seven years old, my husband and I came up with some aims for our parenting endeavors. These helped remind us often what we were shooting for in how we raise our children. Today, now that those little ones are adults, I have new goals, but the principles remain the same.
