You won’t believe what I’ve been hearing lately from some of the most successful people out there – they’re struggling to keep themselves motivated to keep earning money and innovating in their businesses! I mean, these are top performers, millionaires and billionaires , and they’re feeling burnt out and stuck.
We are joking with my partner: when you have no money – you have a problem. When you DO have money – you have a problem.
Which problem would you like to have? 🙂
So, here’s a self-reflection coaching exercise that can help you understand your “why” and get you feeling energized and motivated again.
And I think it could be especially helpful for business owners, directors, and managers like us.
So, here’s how it works: Download the worksheet in your language (Ukrainian or English).
- Write down your current age at the beginning of a timeline.
- Then, have a look at each subsequent 10-year interval as a “life bucket”. You can give each bucket a name that reflects what you want to put in to this bucket.
- Next, think about the experiences you want to have in each life bucket. What are the things that really make you happy and fulfilled? Write them down.
- Now, consider your physical age and what experiences you should do earlier in life. Write those down in the appropriate life bucket.
Once you have your list of experiences, think about what you need to start doing to make them happen.
Do you need to save money, research travel destinations, or sign up for classes?
Write down the steps you need to take.
Finally, think about what you need to stop doing in order to make room for these experiences.
Are there bad habits or unnecessary expenses that are holding you back?
Write down what you need to cut out of your life to make your dream experiences a reality.
The goal of this exercise is to motivate and inspire you to earn money not just for material possessions, but for the life experiences that bring you joy and fulfilment.
So, take the time to really think about what you want out of life and start taking steps towards achieving your goals!
