Entrepreneurship

 
Vision: I want to start a successful business and leave my bank job within three years.

and share my unique gifts with the world. The bank has been a great learning experience but I
want out.

School / Self-Education
 
Vision: I want to get my Associates degree by the end of summer 2014 and continue on my non-
stop path of self-education and evolution, both personal and business.
 
Purpose: Finishing my Associate’s degree will give me completion at community college I started
at many years ago. It will free up more time for things I WANT to learn, including self-education
and growing a business. An Associate’s degree looks better than ‘Some college’ on resumes and
online dating profiles. Not having the false sense of security of a Bachelor’s degree will help me
grind harder in achieving my goals.

Living Situation
 
Vision: I want to move out and live on my own in an apartment or condo by June 2014 after my
car lease expires in May, which will free up some monthly money.
 
Purpose: As great as my relationship with my family is and as comfortable as it is to live at home,
I’m 30 and it is time to move out. Having my own place will help me grow as a man and is a
missing piece of the puzzle in my expanding self-reliance. It will greatly enhance my
datinglife and centeredness, helping me feel more established in the world.

Vision: I want to routinely remind myself to be grateful and what a privilege it is to be alive and
well.
 
Purpose: These goals will keep spirituality in my awareness and help me stay grounded,
preventing me from getting swept up by the stresses of life. Meditation will help me stay centered

fears. This all will help my motivation and good feelings.

upbringing, which has helped mold me into who I am today. They deserve my full
listening/attention/pesence, as they are always there for me, including their burden of my OCD
behaviors. They truly accept and love me unconditionally and I feel the same way.

only the other way around with them helping me all the time.

Health and fitness
 
Vision: I want to maintain physical health and wellness, including staying trim, toning up, and
keep running so my legs don’t give out with age.

motivation, as well as keeping me look fit and not let my belly get big during winter. Will keep me
