Goals 2008

*drum roll*

So last year, at the end of 2006, I posted up my goals for 2007, and towards the end of 2007, I posted up a review of how I went with those goals. This year I’m going to take a similar approach to setting my goals where I evaluate my one, two, five, ten and twenty year vision.

With that in mind here are my goals for this coming year:

• Personal Goals
• Goal: Strengthen my bond with Bella.
• Action: Spend more time with Bella.
• Action: Get involved in some kind of regular social activity.
• Goal: Have fun and get fit.
• Action: Get back into Scuba diving.
• Action: Get into doing something at the beach, like kite surfing, or kayaking.
• Goal: Embrace my inner nomad.
• Action: When I travel overseas, take time to explore.
• Action: Don’t worry about “moving”, just worry about spending time where you want to spend time.
• Career Goals
• Goal: Keep Readify the place I want to work.
• Action: Fight any potential bozo leaks.
• Action: Help others in the company achieve things.
• Action: Help find the interesting gigs.
• Goal: Start building my venture team.
• Action: Figure out what the positions on the team are.
• Action: Find people to fill those positions.
• Action: Evaluate venture ideas.
• Action: Execute on one new venture idea.
• Financial Goals
• Goal: Remain debt free (other than short term debt).
• Action: Pay off my new car quickly.
• Action: Don’t over spend on my credit card.
• Goal: Get into home ownership.
• Action: Decide what and where to buy.
• Action: Save the deposit.
• Action: Jump in feet first.

Some of that might sound pretty cryptic, but it makes sense to me. Obviously I don’t want to lock myself in too much on HOW I am going to achieve these things, but I’ve got a few ideas.
