2. Don’t Stress, let’s talk about your life!
Take a moment and de‐clutter your brain. Now…
think about what you really want from life.
The place to start building a better business is
within YOU, the business owner.
The importance of you, knowing what your life
direction should be, cannot be overstated.
Only then can you build a business to support
your life goals.
Makes sense right?

3. Ruminate on These Questions
• What is your dream lifestyle? Where will you live and
work?
• Where do you see yourself 5, 10, 20 years from now?
• What do you want people to say at your eulogy?
• What would you like to learn: spiritually, physically,
financially, technically, intellectually?
• How much income will you need to achieve this and
when?
Sit with these questions, go dream at the beach,
until it becomes clear.

4. Your Perfect Day
• The purpose of writing out a description of
your perfect day enables your brain to form
solid visions of the future, that stick with you,
and help you achieve your goals.
• This simple and fun exercise has extremely
powerful results!
I have seen it work wonders for business owners
and dramatically increase their incomes.

5. What’s in a Perfect Day?
Write your perfect day as a short story, just a
page or two long.
It should describe your perfect life as if you were
already living it.
Start from the moment you wake up and notice the entire day until the last
thought you have as you fall asleep. Describe where you live, who is there
with you, and then progress on to your work. Where do you work? What does
it feel like? Who are you associates or employees? What happens when the
day is over? What is the perfect end to the perfect day?
Dream big and have fun with this!

6. Now Think About Your Business
• What are you passionate about?
• What drove you to start a business?
• What is your economic engine?
• What does your company do better than
anybody else?
Bring your team or trusted advisor in to
brainstorm if you need help.

7. Create Your Mission Statement
• Its really a mission, vision, values and purpose
statement.
• There are no wrong answers, dream big.
• You can always web surf to get inspiration and
see what others consider their mission.
