To achieve a good work-life balance you must ensure that you are setting goals to cover the three most important areas of your life. These goals must stay in harmony with one another and not be contradictory. Just as a wheel must be perfectly balanced to rotate smoothly, your life must be in balance as well for you to feel happy and effective. There are three types of different goals you must set in order to achieve personal development and balance.
1. “WHAT” Goals
Business, career and financial goals
These are “WHAT” you want to accomplish in life
2. “WHY” Goals
Personal, family and health goals
These are “WHY” you want to accomplish your business and career goals
3. “HOW” Goals
Personal and professional growth
These are “HOW” you achieve the “WHAT” and enjoy the “WHY”
By working on all three types of goals simultaneously, you keep your work-life balance and continue moving onward and upward.
