For us the conversations were hard – hard in the sense of coming to agreement and really putting into words what we both envision for our future. It has taken multiple conversations to get to this point. But every step seems to be valuable. While I think we set a rather large goal for us – it will definitely affect our lifestyle, it has given us pause for reflection and inspired some changes. We are headed to the bank this week to set up some changes to help us reach our goal. The mission statement is like a gentle reminder of what we really want and can guide us in our decision making.
Good luck to you as well!
