I think when setting up our goals, we must then set S-M-A-R-T goals.

S – Significant
M – Manageable
A – Achievable
R – Realistic
T – Time Bound

Just my two cents.

Although I didn’t take the time to draw on a piece of paper I can picture exactly what I would have put on there: A small house, a larger house, and then a cluster of houses–all of which represent something different.

The small house represents my home today because eventually I would like to escape the 9pm to 5pm (well, 7am to 6pm in my case) and work out of my home. Whether this be through an internet business, stock market trading, or a combination of both is yet to be determined. Through my success I hope to be able to build…

The large house is my dream home. When I say dream I don’t mean something huge and immaculate. I mean a solid, maintenance free (yes there is such a thing) home.

Finally, the cluster of homes represents the rental properties I would like to own. I believe the only way to “eliminate debt” after eliminating debt is by increasing your income. This is the way I anticipate doing that.

That’s all I got.

Nice – very nice. I think this is a major key to achieving anything – to dream. I think we get caught up in the little day-to-day things that annoy or bug us and we forget the bigger picture. Sometimes, it’s just as important to step back and dream, and dream BIG.

I imagined myself once again as a pastor caring for a group of believer’s. That is and has been my dream that I have let go dormant for too many years. I’m going to act on my dream in faith and see if the Lord will use me to make a difference in the lives of others once again!
