My main goal right now is to increase my income. I want to make lots. $1 million a year sounds about right. And I want to make it while having fun and being challenged in its own right time. How about you? How much do you want to make? How will you make it? |

Great goal ! good luck with that. Regarding money, my goal has lower figures than yours : I want to make 1750 euros a month by working approximately 4 hours a day and not having a job. It would be great if I could reach this goal within the next 2 years. When I reach it, I'll probably define a larger goal. |

I wish I could put a lot of effort into getting rich just for the challenge, but I had to admit to myself that I'm more focused on direct rewards. I have specific ideas on how I could cover my basic expenses and spend about $3 million on things that are fun, but anything more than that would be pointless. I do have a passion for business though, so who knows - maybe I'll get more than I know what to do with If you can follow one goal singlemindedly for years or decades just for the challenge, that's an admirable trait. |

(It's like I'm afraid that if I say I want to make $150,000 a year, 'the gods' will hear me and curse me, cutting me off at $150 when I could've been making $1 million.) haha. I don't know. I don't want to underestimate myself, but I don't want to overestimate and have people laugh at me. (oh, and in response to the second part of your question: how do you plan on making it...?? | |

If a goal feels too small for you, set a shorter time for it to make it a real challenge. After all every goal should have a definite time period (other than "in my lifetime") or you could have decades before you even need to start. Even worse, you could suddenly reach your goal in the last month of your life and never get to enjoy it. Just move up the schedule a bit to reach it sooner and you'll be able to move on to bigger things sooner. To rephrase the old quote, if you want to go on a journey of a thousand miles then an excellent goal to set for yourself is to take the first step | |

I definitely agree with 1000feet here Amanda! "Half the fun of goals is reaching them and not stopping!" Don't be afraid to set your goals high! Just know that if you do set the bar very high, you will definitely need to work harder and take the necessary steps to achieve your goal! Plan out your goal, but NEVER be afraid to 'dive in' and begin working to achieve that goal! Good luck Amanda, Andrew Quote:

I want to establish an income stream that is not location dependent, then spend some time traveling with my family like gypsies. Visiting national forests, touring the country, that sort of thing. During this time, I want to find some property. I haven't worked out the exact amount I need, but generally the more the better. On this property I want to set up some kind of college or commune or business or combination of the three. An innovative communal living arrangement with a small environmental footprint and locally produced food focused around a lucrative business model. So I don't know how much money I want to make, but enough to do that.

| Well, I admit that I have other factors that motivate me. But truly, the challenge is the most motivating of all of them. I feel that going for a goal like that is an incredible growth experience. It's not about actually reaching $1 million, but about setting out to achieve it and seeing what happens...whether I reach it or not, the process is going to be incredible.

I'm in. Short term goal(6 months): 1k per week in hand income through online business. Medium term goal(12months-18months): 3k per week Long term goal (18-36months): ~10k+ per week How? At the moment, selling Ebay items has got most of my time. I'm also learning affiliate marketing which I will aim to use to reach up to medium term goals at the very least. A personal business start-up will be required to achieve long term goals. Current income: $200 per week. (I'm a student, so give me a break :P) |
