Wow, I read through most of these and learned quite a lot.

To become truly successful in life and be able to provide for others in any way I can at any given time.

2. Why haven’t you reached it yet?

There’s a lot holding me back here and mostly it’s fear that I need to overcome in order to take the necessary steps to reach the goal.

Time and movies… I love movies.

I’ll be honest, I don’t have a date set. I should get to setting one. I’d say within the next 5 years as I see that as a decent amount of time to get where I want to be.

1. What is your biggest goal?

To get tenure for life at the Uni I work at.

2. Why haven’t you reached it yet?

I’ve only been here a couple of weeks, and haven’t really had a chance to actually do any work!

3. What are you willing to sacrifice in order to reach it?

My sanity – oh, wait, I gave that up years ago.

Realistically? Any dreams of a truly high paid job. I’d rather have long term, steady employment for the rest of my working life, than some flash in the pan job at a place that could fold any minute.

4. What aren’t you willing to sacrifice in order to reach it?

My family life, and the happiness that brings with it.

5. When do you plan to achieve your biggest goal by?

Aren’t deadlines for deadbeats?

Things like this take time, and when it happens, it’ll happen.

1. To create a product that changes the world in a big way, builds a lot of wealth for myself personally, and gives me total freedom in my life.
2. I’ve made good strides in the freedom area, and financial independence, but I don’t feel like I’ve had the right idea yet that will really change the world. I’d like to get around the right people (in San Francisco, moving there soon) who I can learn from to accomplish this goal.
3. A leisurely vagabonding lifestyle
4. Health
5. Age 40

I have about 100 tasks a day now and it’s really easy to get overwhelmed and distracted.

3. What are you willing to sacrifice in order to reach it? Money! I have no income other than freelance jobs. I’m prepared to be evicted or lose material items although that’s the super extreme version. We have really cut back and only purchase necessities.

1. What is your biggest goal?
At the moment it’s becoming the most awesome self-improvement, freer of people in the world.

2. Why haven’t you reached it yet?
Because I started in December. I’m pretty sure it’s going to take longer than the 5 weeks I’ve been at it, but you never know what will happen in week 6, eh?

3. What are you willing to sacrifice in order to reach it?
My girlfriend’s dog. Don’t tell her I told you though.

4. What aren’t you willing to sacrifice in order to reach it?
Hmm, a tough one. I think I’d have to say my girlfriend at this point, but I’m pretty much open for sacrificing most of the stuff, except the essentials like friends, connections and things that really matter more than goals.

5. When do you plan to achieve your biggest goal by?
I plan to stay open to whatever comes my way so my goal keeps changing, so it might be 2012 (the Mayans predicted my arrival) or sometime after that .

Awesome post, Geordie!

1. What is your biggest goal?
To quit my cubicle, write and do training full time
2. Why haven’t you reached it yet?
I am only just starting on this road, I spent a lot of time knowing that I was dissatisfied with my job and life without doing anything to change it. As a home-owner it will take a little while before my writing income will be sufficient for me to switch the cubicle for the coffee shop.
3. What are you willing to sacrifice in order to reach it?
Sleep, I’ve reduced my sleep requirements substantially and have been able to increase my productivity.
Luxuries, I started scaling back my lifestyle last year already. To put it simply I need to be less reliant on my pay check and build up a cash reserve if I want to escape my cubicle sooner and that is more important than a playstation 3 (only just though)
4. What aren’t you willing to sacrifice in order to reach it?
My integrity, I want to make my living doing what I love. I’m not running away from my cubicle I’m running toward freedom.
5. When do you plan to achieve your biggest goal by?
24-36 months

1. Create effective habits working for me instead of against me.
2. Didn’t know how to build habits.
3. Surfing.
4. Working
5. Not sure. Not sure what’s possible.

I’m in a major transition, and not at all interested in goals or results, only in process. Having won every battle, I’m taking stock of the war, and I’m not pleased.
