Business - does it meet your needs?

22/08/2019

BRBN meetings aim to be more than just network meetings. This week's post comes from one of our members’ short contributions at the mornings session, and really revolves around how we want to live our lives.

Regardless of where you are in your career or what you earn, consider your lifestyle. Are you happy with what you are doing in life? Many people get to a point and realise they are maybe not as happy as they could be, so they take a step back and reassess.

When setting out on a new business venture or assessing our own lifestyle, it is great to ask ourselves a couple of questions regarding money, the first one being ‘how much do I need?’ How much money do you need to survive? No one can live for free - we all need to pay for the basics - food, accommodation and the various bills. Beyond this, how much do you want?

What income would you like to support the lifestyle you want to live? This really becomes a question of what is important to you - family? friends? your career? your hobbies? Perhaps seeing your life from a different perspective and filling it with meaningful activities, may give you some more insightful answers and may make life lighter, happier and business less onerous.

Take ten minutes and have a think about the questions raised and perhaps these will help you refocus on what you need from your business.
