Question:

I am afraid that if I set big goals for my design business, it will consume me. I already missed a soccer game this week, and continue to work at night when the kids go to sleep. I don’t want to miss more of my family.

Can I have the jobs and clients that I want and still have a life?

Answer:

Yes you can have your dream design business. When it comes to goal setting, I recommend that you set just four big goals for the year. These goals should be broad enough, so your accomplishments will create a major impact on your life. At least one of these goals must be personal. This way you design your business and your life from the viewpoint of what is most important and most satisfying to you and your family.
