Goal Setting

You know... you really need to set goals in life to be successful. I tell this to my students all the time. Many of them can't see past high school, they have no plans of college, military, or anything really. Some of them can't see past lunch. It's scary to think what our country is going to be like in a couple of generations. I swear if they don't step it up quite a bit, we could be in for a rough ride.

So why do I bring this up? While enjoying a beautiful Memorial Day weekend up on Lake Buttes De Morttes in Oshkosh, WI we took the boat past quite a few gorgeous houses. I told Cindy that I'd like to be there soon. The thing is... we've finally found something that can indeed help us get to that point. Right now, the average black diamond distributor is making $1.4 million a year on average. I certainly could live with that! I don't expect to see that in a lifetime of teaching. My goal is not to be pulling that kind of cash by the time I'm 30 (although I wouldn't complain if I am). My realistic goal is to be doing $10k a week, which comes out to $520,000 per year. Why don't I go for the gusto? I guess I'm just a realist, I probably won't be doing over a million until I'm 31 :-)

But for now, I leave for bed knowing I have to get up and go to work tomorrow, but not for much longer.
