Planning the future

[Freelancer]

My current plan (Age 20-30);
1) Build up discipline during vacation period (~6 week time period)
2) Finish high school (2 year time period)
3) Build up business to around 10k/month during this time (2 year time period)
4) Travel for ~5 years while further building up my business (goal: 20k/month).
5) Spend no more than 2k/month during travel times (same for study) and invest the remaining.

Skills to learn in the meantime;
1) Work on becoming a very good coach in my Herbalife business
2) Develop solid social skills
Tools;
A. Herbalife business
B. A job that requires me to approach a lot of people -check
3) Develop solid learning skills that aid me in finishing school in 2 years without wasting to much time.
4) Develop self discipline and motivation;
in the process.
Tools;
A. Simpleology 101
B. Journaling
C. Planning
D. Goal setting.
E. Assigning myself multiple 'tasks' to accomplish (job/Herbalife/school) which increases stress and should theoretically get my ass moving combined with the above tools.
5) Develop physical strength/endurance and health even further. Goals;
A. From ~8% body fat to ~5% body fat
B. Physical excersize 5 times a week
C. Progress in taekwondo (no idea how far yet, depends since I just got started).
D. Slightly bulk up, not a significant part of my goals at all.
E. Watch nutrition closely, change a few habits.


End result;
Great experiences
Enough money in the bank
High school diploma
Learned loads of skills that can be applied in any field I may chose
A great life


Long term:
Once I had all this fun (can't wait ) I'll figure out what to do next. Pretty much every pathway I might choose is open for me...


Quick background;
Student
20 years old
Male
Sports; Jogging, taekwondo and soccer.
Nutritional knowledge; decent to good
Discipline; low but building up.


So thats the plan, I'd like to get your suggestions/idea's and criticism on this.
Thanks in advance...

S:
This is merely the rough version of my plans, I have more detailed ones written down.
M:
Nearly all my goals are measurable in one way or another. For instance social skills can be measured by the number of sales I complete in my job. Income can be measured and the same goes for time frame in school.
A:
All goals have been accomplished by other people I can model. On top of that they did it in less time than I am planning right now. Once again this is detailed in the more detailed plans. (hehe)
R:
See A, in terms of time spendage I am learning methods of time saving in the vacation period. This includes learning strategy's and photo reading...
T:
As I mentioned at A all my goals have been accomplished before by other people I can model (either in person or through there material).

I'll read your articles later on if I got time (my mommy is a year older ).

Any other tips, idea's or criticism?


The only thing I can think of right now is that my learning time for the skills is to low and this is why I like my particular plan so much. Everything is working in synergy with everything, for instance;
Social skills affect Herbalife business affect Job affect Social skills. If I improve in one area the rest also improves (for my business and Job you need social skills, and I carefully selected the job to mimic my business and force me to talk to people).
This means that many tools/skills I need to learn can be done in several different fields.

You are a very remarkable young man Freelancer... you show a great degree of maturity, determination and courage...

Thank you Shamou and the honour is all mine.



Ps. This thread is mostly to spil my own thoughts out and to get suggestions/ideas/criticism. I might make another one in the future with my more detailed plans (without the personal information hehe).
