In late 2004, just before I turned 30, I started a life goals list which later became the basis of this site. My intention is to accomplish all my goals in ten years, just before I turn 40.
I highly recommend making your own list. Besides the clarity and direction you will experience in the goal setting process, you are more likely to accomplish your goals if you make them public. Download my FREE ebook, “Design Your Dream Year”, to help you set and achieve those goals.
