MEDIUM-TERM VISION (1–5 YEARS)

Where do you see yourself in a few years? Assuming you now know how to get started with your short-term goals, with a little bit of time on your side where do you want to go next?

Think about this for a moment:

  • In 1–5 years you can achieve most major goals. You could find the right person, fall in love, get married, have kids, get divorced and still have a year or two left over.
  • In 1–5 years you could learn a skill, start a company, build your business, sell it and start all over again.
  • In 1–5 years you could find a passion, campaign for change, influence society and make a permanent difference.
  • Or in 1–5 years you could still be doing the same old things, day in day out.

You choose.

It’s worth thinking ...
