Your Life Plans and Your Business: How They Fit Together

The year is still young – and if you haven’t finished plans for your business in the year ahead, there’s no time like the present.

But should your planning include more than the business itself? Should it start with your plans for your life before you determine where your business fits in?

Jason Roberts would likely answer “yes” to both questions.

A creative entrepreneur, Jason has known both the highs of financial success and the lows of business failure. With no experience in the field, Jason started a mortgage company in a home office that soon employed 50 people and brought in millions of dollars a year.

But what was good in 2001 was a great challenge beginning in 2008. Soon enough, he lost his business, his home, and his cars. Chapter 7 bankruptcy was next.

It was time, in short, for a new life vision.

He found it, and by 2011 was buying and selling houses -- and earned $3.6 million in profit that year.

Jason shared his experience on How to Create a Vision for Your Life and Have Your Business Serve Your Vision at GDREIA’s Third Wednesday meeting last March 2016.
