Why Is ‘Begin With The End In Mind’ So Important?

We talk a lot why you need to begin with the end in mind when you start your business. But why is this so important?

Stephen Covey writes about this very point in his timeless classic The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. In fact, he believed in this concept so much he made it Habit Number Two. Beginning with the end in mind helps you clearly define your Why. This helps you understand and outline the choices and sacrifices you may need to make to work toward your End.

Because the truth is, working on any goal is just that—hard work. Financial Freedom won’t be instant. But if you understand where you’re going, and why you’re heading that direction in the first place, your effort will feel worthwhile.

Destination

By beginning with the end in mind, you set yourself up to win and achieve Financial Freedom. As Covey states in his book, “If your ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step you take get you to the wrong place faster.” Every step you take should lead you closer to your ultimate goal to stop trading your time for money. Financially Fit Bootcamp is built on this principle. Buying your time back by Paying Yourself First and building your Freedom Generator is what makes you Financially Free.

But the road to Financial Freedom often means work over a length of time. Ensure your destination is big enough and exciting enough to keep you focused for the long haul.
