I've been realizing more and more that people lack proper goals. The goals I'm talking about long-term goals. What do you want to pursue in life? What do you want to do in 10 years or 20 years?
Thinking this far out is important because it will help you put your current actions into perspective. Is what you are doing now bringing you closer to your goals. Is there a more efficient, and even enjoyable, method?
I challenge you to reflect on your goals and write them down for the rest of the community. I like the concept of SMART goals. SMART goals are: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely.
For example, I WILL make $1m in liquid cash in 3 years. As you can see, I am specific. It can be easily measured. I know it is achievable because others have done it before me and I have the ability to learn from their experiences. It is relevant because it is a stepping stone for my later, more long term goals. And, finally it is timely because I gave myself a time requirement to achieve this goal.
Try this exercise and take that next step to success.
