Measuring Success (Setting Life Goals)

Below is a quick exercise to assist you in making the proper goals in your life.

Blank Piece of Paper
Fold the Paper in Half
On the left side of the paper write at the top "Accomplishments"
On the right side of the paper right down the things you want highlighted about you at your funeral

Note: the younger you are you may not have much to list, but I challenge you to dig deep and think about the milestone you are most proud of. Secondly of the accomplishments you mentioned, how many would you want spoken about at your funeral?

The goal of this exercise is to establish the things most important for you to accomplish in your life time?

Things to consider when you are through evaluating what you want to accomplish...

What did I do today to accomplish these goals?
What do I have planned tomorrow?
Are my goals realistic?
What is the predominant theme of my goals? (spiritual, family, career, monetary)
How close is the situation I am in today helping me achieve what is most important to me?

Life is short! If your situation is off course, change it tomorrow!

Financial Management Consulting

This day and age much of how a company cuts costs is by laying off workforce. It is a frightening time for so many individuals, corporations and even local municipalities. The last thing anyone wants to do as a leader is let go of people who have been such a large part of a team. Financial management consulting can help avoid ever getting to this type of situation. Specifically in new companies, there is an opportunity to set up their business for success and potentially avoid massive layoffs in the future. For a new business establishing a defined organization chart with detailed job descriptions. This may seem simple, but simple does not define easy to execute. Financial management consulting helps define organization charts, job descriptions and lastly the appropriate pay for the job description. Again this sounds easy, but we see many organizations pay way too much for positions and often pay for positions that shouldn't even exist. Financial management consulting focuses on other business needs beyond their biggest expense, employees! Their are investment strategies, distribution strategies, and cost saving strategies that must be implemented regardless of the businesses age.

Corporate Social Responsibility -- Diversity

Diversity

Board of Directors should match your communities
Establish a work environment conducive to...

Disabled employees
Women and minorities
Gay and Lesbian
Diversity of thought
Promotions

Work and life benefits

Products and Services
Benefit the economically disadvantaged
Quality of services

Employee Relations

Healthy and safe working environment
Retirement plans
Profit sharing
Internal non-political resource groups

Diversity as a priority must start from the top. It must be important to all senior management to be apart of a companies organizational structure and culture.

First, if you have a board of directors make a conscience effort to mirror the communities in which you are present. Not only does it make good business sense to have a cultural understanding of the communities you do business in, it is critical to establish a work environment conducive to those cultures.

In your Vision and Values take the time to make an organization that holds diversity at the very top. One of the best organizations I have seen has internal resource groups for disabled employees, women and minorities, gay and lesbian and so on. These internal resource groups recruit membership within the organization and become a nucleus for networking, skill enhancement and giving back to the community. Each of which should be a priority for any organization. These groups can influence benefits, recruiting efforts, community involvement and the quality of service you deliver to the diverse groups in your communities.

Social responsibility is an unspoken requirement of a successful business. As an observer of this current economic crisis, I ask myself if each company would dedicate the time to live the principals above, they would have the esteemed employees, managers and customers they need to sustain economic downturns. Why? Because they did the right things for the people they touch. Customers, employees and their communities.
