2014 Goals:
1) Workout and a basic yoga, four times a week. (Ultimately, I'd like to be performing the full P90X workout again.)
2)
Spend quality time with my wife in the evenings and on the weekends.
(Snuggling on the couch and watching a movie counts. Both of us
watching separate shows, ones that are just filling our time and we're
not gaining a benefit from, do not count.) I need to find a way to
measure this one...
3) Add six paying clients to PPF. (Baby steps...but forward motion.)
4)
Take a Spanish course and have a basic proficiency in the language.
I've always wanted to learn Spanish, but I haven't been able to get
into Rosetta Stone. We're planning a vacation this year to a location
where Spanish would be very useful.
This is a great example of how life takes control and you forget about (or just don't complete) your personal goals.
1) WORKOUT - I had some great tries on this goal but as of today, I'm doing none. The year included a full-body band workout, a basic morning yoga streak, 10 burpees a day for 100 days (turned into 140 days), and ended with a three-week stint of P90X. Only the burpees lasted any significant period of time, though I was feeling much better when I started P90X after coming off of the burpee challenge. Hopefully I can get a few more weeks of exercise before the year ends!
2) QUALITY TIME WITH MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE - I still haven't figured out how to measure this goal. I think we both like spending all of our free time with each other, but we also like our own online t.v. shows and interests (I cannot put down books!). Lately we've been spending a lot of time cooking together for our Whole30 challenge, which I think counts!
3) SIX PAYING CLIENTS - I am still having a hard time charging clients. I haven't put as much time into the business as I would like - I need to be networking and promoting my services - though I really enjoy helping others with their finances. I did add ONE paying client though! So (very small) baby steps...
4) SPANISH - We took a community college Spanish course earlier this year and had a lot of fun! Though we haven't opened the books since... We need to get on this one, as we've booked a trip to Cuba in February! This was the trip we wanted to take in 2014 (and originally learn Spanish for) but February should be a much better time to visit. I'm not sure if we have time for another course, but with our books, basic understanding, and Rosetta Stone, we should have some skills to practice with in Cuba.
I'm disappointed but also energized after revisiting my 2014 goals! There is still some time left to feel accomplished!
How are you doing on your 2014 goals?
Yours in exploiting life!
