Thinking About Your Business Goals for 2007, Part 2

January 16th, 2007 Sean Murphy

As a follow-up to yesterday’s post on business goal for 2007, it’s also worthwhile to look at your own motivations and needs.

Richard Leider advises that you ask yourself two key questions:

1. What do you want?
2. How will you know when you get it?

The best reason to take part in a startup or to start your own software or consulting business is that it furthers your own personal development. It should allow you to work on the problems that you feel are important or to create something that leverages your creativity, experience, expertise, and passion.

We don’t tend to explore these as much in our engagements: team dynamics and shared goals are more where we tend to focus. It’s not a bad idea at least once a year to make sure you are working on what you want to achieve and you have given some thought as to how you are keeping score.
