Now that January 1 has rolled around, I'm reviewing this year's goals to make sure they're aligned with the life I want to live and what I aim to accomplish. I tweaked this version by clarifying what I want to accomplish in each area of life. I also had to add rock climbing after the fun I had over the holidays.
These are aligned with my Vision and my Mission, as laid out in my Tenets.
This quote embodies what I aim to achieve:
“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”
–Tony Robbins
I encourage you to make your own version – and you're welcome to use mine as a starting point.
I will continue to revise based on what where I'm making traction and what the fortune brings my way. You can always find the latest version here: My Goals
Lastly – I think a lot about systems and aim to document them in a way that is useful to you. Here's where you can find what I've shared: My Systems
