These are my goals:


By the time I'm 35 have my own successful design firm.
Have a nice house somewhere in Southern California.
Be genuinely happy with my life.


I hope it will work out. =)

To coin a phrase... "And what are you going to do about it?"

Also, have you considered more flexible goals? Fixed goals are good, but figuring out WHY you want these things is even more important. After all, the nice house could be in ... Seattle... Melbourne... Paris... Right? Or not?

What are the root desires you're looking to satisfy?

You're right about the location...there are an endless amount of great places to live in but I recently moved to California (3-4 years ago) and I really love it, so this is where I want to stay. I wouldn't mind having homes in several countries though. ;)

Personally I'd love Vancouver, Seattle, Mexico, UK or Australia... Any of those would be great ;)

... Oh, and the Caymans of course :D

Mmmm... all those sound like wonderful places. I'll have one of each. ;)

Nice goals and you gave yourself plenty of time to accomplish them. :)

Tom,

Thank you. Item number three is the most important, though, everything else is secondary. If you're not happy you won't enjoy your success or any of the nice things you have.

Do you have a site for your web design company yet?

- own my own mansion
- finish college
- become a human resource manager
- own a business
- have a nice portfolio of shares etc.

These are my goals:

Very nice goals but you left out a few details
How old are you? ( for the time line to 5)
What are you doing to create these goals?
What small goals are you achieving on order to accomplish this ? something to keep you accountable and on track?
I look forward to reading your progress
