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!

Corporate Social Responsiblility

Implement your vision of corporate responsibility into your vision and values, by establishing processes for the items listed below. We will go into detail in future blogs on what each one could look like.

Community

Internal volunteer program
Support for education needs within the community
Charitable Giving
Innovative community outreach

Environment

Recycle
Use clean energy where applicable
Conserve energy

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

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.
