If you’ve been online for any length of time as a business owner, you know that talk of journaling comes up in business conversations quite frequently. Not only is it a great way to organise your thoughts and to work out difficult problems, but it’s also a way to focus on
exactly what you want out of life.

You only get one life and YOU are in charge of making it the best. If YOU are unhappy with the
path you’re on, journaling can help you discover what you truly want and how to achieve those
desires.

Journaling is not ‘woo woo’ or meant only for those who are already deeply in tune with their
inner self. Absolutely anyone can journal and each person will derive a different benefit from
the practice.

• A small business owner can map out how to grow their business and income.
• A college student can map out what kind of career they want to pursue which aligns to their interests.
• Newlyweds can compare journals to choose where to live and what types of jobs pique their interest.
• Retirees can journal about their bucket list adventures.
• Adventurous families can plan their world travels while homeschooling the kids.
• A budding author can use journals to map out their story arc.
• Teens or young adults can use journals to record family history and stories from their
elders.

This is just a small fraction of examples of how journals can help clarify important life questions.
In order to get the most out of your journaling experience, we’re going to answer some
questions first, so you can clarify for yourself WHY you want to journal and what you hope to gain from this routine.

Get ready because you’ll be asking yourself WHY a lot! The deeper you dig for answers, the more meaningful your journaling becomes.

It’s time to get planning!
