Become Your Own CEO
Your First Principles
Your first principles are based on your values and are the rules by which you live your life. Write them down, because they, along with your values, set parameters on your behavior and what plans you pursue and how you pursue them.
Your Purpose
Your purpose, your why, your reason for existing, can be found where your talents, your passions and your dreams intersect. Seek and search out that point of intersection. Think through how they come together, meld, and bolster each other, and write down what they show you about your purpose.
Your Destiny
Your destiny is akin to your purpose, but a tad different. Your destiny is what you will become. What you will be remembered for. It’s your legacy. In a manner of speaking, it’s your way of living eternally after you die, because it’s what you leave behind. Think through how you want to be remembered and what impact you want to have made and write it down.
Your Goals
Your goals have two aspects. First there is the type of goal. We have career goals. Family goals. Health goals. Other goals. And then there is the size and timing of our goals. There are modest, short term goals. There are larger, mid range goals. And then there are overarching long term goals. Write down all your short, medium and long term goals for your career, your family, your health, your company or firm and any other goals you have in mind.
