Money??

I had a conversation with someone very recently about goals. Now I know my blogs are usually ramblings about this and that with no real purpose but I am linking the previous statements with this conversation I had with a business coach! He said within our conversation that you must have a magic number in order to stay focused.... That magic number is an amount of money you will need to achieve your 'perfect world'

My perfect world would be me living on a riverboat drifting through beautiful England, writing poetry and maybe working a couple of days here and there as a sales consultant. I know in order to achieve that lifestyle I would need to have earned a certain amount of money allowing the financial freedom for me to take my foot off of the pedal. Going on his conversation I need to be focused on the cash and only the cash, when all said and done it is about money!! Have I lost you yet?

My point is that not everyone is money orientated, don't get me wrong, I love the stuff. I ride vintage scooters, have 3 children and a lovely home surrounded by lots of nice things. It all takes money... My motivation however is not the cash, it is that feeling of complete relaxation I am expecting to feel sat on my riverboat enjoying a cold glass of cider. That is what makes me succesful within my work life and my various other roles (Mother, Wife, Drinking buddy, Friend etc.), not the money, that feeling!!

Make sense?
