Since then, I've expanded the concept to include multiple goal types:
- Business - All job-related goals
- Financial - If it deals with my money or financial condition, it goes here
- Spiritual - Goals related to deepening my relationship with God
- Personal - Anything else not covered in #1-3
While I also write 3, 5 and 10 year goals, my 2007 goals are below.
2007 Goals
Business
- Turnaround a large money-losing division within my company, making it profitable
- Attain the highest PE rating for year-end performance
- Mentor at least one other individual, whether inside or outside my current company
- Find a mentor and talk with him at least once a month
- Achieve promotion to Senior Director, AVP or similar title OR attain a C-level position with a smaller company
Financial
- $900,000 net worth
- $0 in debt
- $200,000 in income from all sources (Day job, consulting, rental income, anything else)
- Save 50% of my Net Spendable Income, defined as Income less Tithes & Taxes. Acceptable savings categories: Cash Reserves, 401K, Roth/Traditional IRA, College 529 Plans, Taxable Index Fund accounts
- $50,000 cash reserve
- Give >15% of gross income to charity
Spiritual
Since many folks get squeamish about religious talk, I'll demur for now. I hope to come back a little later and link here to those who'd like to discuss.
Personal
- Be home for dinner 4 nights out of every 5 working nights
- Spend time with each member of my family every day
- Weight: 200 pounds
- Take my wife out on a date at least twice a month
- Read at least two books a week
- Exercise at least four nights a week for at least 45 minutes per exercise session
What do you think? Too many goals? Where are the blind spots in my goal-setting that I need to focus upon more closely?
