I won't reject the offer. So, I nominate myself.

I thought that we were already in the new decade. Wasn't 00-09 the last decade?

That is actually a very good point. 2020 is in 9 years time.

This thread is a year late!

Same as they've been since the early 1990s.

1995 - $25k income (met)
2000 - $50k income (met late)
2005 - $100k income (met conditionally)
2010 - $250k income (missed)
2015 - $250k passive income
2020 - seven-figure wealth
2025 - eight-figure wealth

The past ten years have not been as focused on business as I'd like, because I was investing most of my energy in starting a family. That family has now pretty much fallen apart, so I can just concentrate on the business.

I hold my vision in the moment.

Setting a timetable for your goals is like tying the hands of the universe.

That being said, whatever works for you.

All the best!

Sorry for the sad story.

Meanwhile, I like the way you broke it down like a Clickbank account screenshot.

I've always made long-term plans, and I like those plans to extend 20 years into the future. But as far as my business goes, I realised that once I have eight-figure wealth, I don't really need nine. So I don't really need a goal for 2030 or any time afterward.

Yeah, billionaire by 2035 would be a neat goal. But I don't necessarily want to be a billionaire.

In 2030, I'm going to be sixty. At that point, accomplishment and forward momentum are really just not going to be that important to me. I'm going to be more focused on the question of building my legacy, so I leave this world better off than when I found it, and the people who are important to me are well cared for.

Thanks

Caliban,

I really have a lot of things to learn from you. Would you teach me, please?

Start here -> Maslow's hierarchy of needs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Choose an instrument, and start learning to play it. Piano is best. Guitar comes in second. Drums are a close third.

Then go read Orson Scott Card's Speaker For The Dead.

And then read Clotaire Rapaille's The Culture Code.

And then get N. Gregory Mankiw's Principles of Microeconomics.

If you get confused about why reading these things matters, go read Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Alice's Adventures Through the Looking-Glass.

When you understand why that's the right thing to read when you're confused, read Douglas Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid.

And then go enroll in a martial arts class.

  The macroeconomics book isn't as applicable to our variety of marketing, but so much of the content is the same that you can get away with that one instead.
  
  I have them both.

So awesome. It has to be taken to this level. It's a consciousness trip.

No clue what my plans are for 2020. In 2000, I was just leaving college. I didn't have a computer in my house, I didn't have high speed internet, and I didn't even have a cell phone yet. There's no way I could've guessed what ended up happening.

Thanks

Caliban,

I already know how to play drums. As for other musical instruments, three of my siblings know how to play them.

The books? I have read so many books that I was almost killed by information overload.

Martial arts? Please recommend something else.

Thanks

Sorry, that's my recommendation. You don't have to follow it, but there's simply no substitute for learning about the interaction of body and mind in motion. There are many "soft" martial arts that don't look or feel violent, like Tai Chi Chuan.

But don't fight a Tai Chi expert, though. Sheesh. Those guys are deceptively dangerous.

Thanks

Now, that's exactly my fear.

As for "soft" martial arts, I will learn a few since there's no substitute for them.

Many thanks for the priceless recommendations.

I appreciate you.

Because being dangerous is a good thing. You don't always get to choose whether to fight dangerous people, so when you don't get a choice, it's nice to know how.

Either way I'm afraid.

Maybe that's the only fear I have to work on in the new year and years ahead if need be.

Thanks
