Life is full of choices and our choices of today are the realities of tomorrow. As you grow your business there will be lots of opportunities presented to you. And most of them will sound like real good profitable options. However, your choice to invest in other business opportunities should be aligned with your business goals and not money. When you invest your time, efforts and money in a deal that does not align into your goals, you lose interest and feel drained because you find yourself doing too many things at a time.

To be consistent with your goals, you need to remind yourself everyday what your goals are. Write it and post it on your mirror. This way you are consistently reminded why you do what you do. Anything that takes you away from your goals comes with a big price tag.

When you are laser focused on what needs to be accomplished and what deals to accept, money only becomes a secondary measurement tool. Money is never a good enough reason to engage in a new business venture. The lure of money quickly fades away once you have achieved it. Money always leaves you feeling like there is got to be more. The opportunity cost of engaging in project for money is a lack of fulfillment.

Failing to plan and have goals, inhibits you from making good decisions. Making the wrong decisions not only affects your cash flow but your energy level. As a business owner, your time is my most precious resource and you should choose solutions that maximize your time. Investing your time decisively rather than following impulses makes you a more successful person. How you spend your time and money tells a lot about you!
