My Life Portfolio
Having a plan for the future is an essential aspect that will motivate us to achieve our goals
and bring them to reality. A personal plan for our future will enable us to choose the kind of life
we want to live, what steps we need to undertake to achieve our planned goals and where we
want to spend the rest of our life during our old age (Cottrell2015). In addition, a personal plan
will enable us to work smart in our education hence enabling us to acquire our dream job, start
our dream business and have a bright plan for our family's future. Just like every other person, I
have my future goals and I will do whatsoever it takes to accomplish them.
To start with, my first goal is to create a financially stable platform for my current family
and my future family. To achieve this goal I will not only ensure there are enough savings in my
bank accounts but also I will involve myself in various ownership investments such as real
estate, start my own business and also acquire both fixed and current assets (Gitman et al 2015).
By achieving all this, my family will be in a better position in life during my old age. Moreover,
I will build or purchase a mansion located on the outskirts of the city with a serene environment
where I will live with my family at the onset of my senility. However, in order to ensure that I
will provide the best for my family, I will have to take an early retirement at the age of 60 years.
This will enable me to spend quality time with my family thus strengthening family ties and
nurturing positive behaviors to my children (Hammond et al 2015). Furthermore, taking early
retirement is vital to one's business as one will have sufficient time to monitor his or her
businesses. Early retirement will also give me enough time to introduce and allocate all my
wealth to my heirs. The reason as to why I have chosen this goal is because I want my family to
be happy and the best for my entire generation.

My second goal is to become successful with my career job in various ways such as
increasing my performance metrics. Many organizations use employee’s performance metrics to
evaluate his or her productivity, performance and effectiveness towards the organization (Phelps,
& Szabat, 2017). By increasing my performance metrics, I will win the trust of my employers
consequently increasing higher chances of being promoted. Additionally, it is my ultimate goal
to become a manager of an organization before my early retirement. As a result of determination
and hard work towards my career job, I will be able to achieve my goal of becoming one of the
most superior managers in an organization. As a manager, my goal will be to provide efficient
and affordable services to my customers and to enhance employee-manager communications
channels (Snell, Morris, & Bohlander, 2015). It is the desire of every manager to leave a legacy
in his or her organization after retirement. The reason as to why have chosen this goal is because
I want positive recommendations from people through the services I will be providing to them
before my old age.
Last but not least, it is my desire to help the community by providing free services to them.
While in the position as a manager I will organize together with my employees at the end of
every year to donate some our profits to children’s home and support nonprofit organizations
such as Red Cross, public charities among others (FOOK, 2016). It is my goal also to visit the
aged and the less privileged together with my family and donate meals, clothing, and gifts and
spent time with them during important festivals. The reason for helping the less privileged is to
break or reduce the vicious circle of poverty, therefore, helping the society to move forward
(Karnani, 2016).
