    EP 22: HOW TO-Value Based Business Planning fo the Soul Centered Entrepreneur

    EP 22: HOW TO-Value Based Business Planning fo the Soul Centered Entrepreneur

    Traditionally, business planning focuses on finances and milestone achievements. And why shouldn't it, if the goal is to grow your business?
    But, for soul-centered entrepreneurs, solely business focused planning can leave us feeling successful, but also empty. 
    I found myself in that place last year and realized that my priorities and the way I was planning for them were way off. While I was hitting the marks I wanted, I wasn't feeling fulfilled. I didn't want to abandon business based goals, but I wanted to incorporate the values that I work so hard to keep in my life. 
    So with that mission in mind, I worked out this exercise to create goals that were based on values and lifestyles that I wanted, not solely financial.  
    Here is how I set my value based goals (and download the worksheet below to do your own!)
