My 2012 Goals:
These are divided into my various life Areas of Attention. You’ll notice I try to give mine fun and inspiring names. I think you’ll figure out which category is which.
I believe everything (absolutely everything) starts with health so that’s where we’ll start…
Flying Out of the Gym:
I am crazy about fitness challenges. Especially 30-day challenges. Here are the big ones.
Get Lean Challenge – 25 days of Bikram hot yoga within 30 days (today is my 9th day straight). I am competing with a good friend to see who can lose the most body fat in a month (measured before and after using a DEXA body composition scan). The more fun competition, the more likely it is to happen!
Run a Long Way (either 50k or 50mi) – The Marin North Face Endurance Challenge is what I have my eye on.
Complete the Goruck Challenge
Expand the Mind:
Complete a Neuro-Linguistic Programming course
Complete a Transcendental Meditation course
Reread my top 5-10 books
Helping People Find Passion and Do Work they Love:
Create “version 2.0″ of Live Off Your Passion (thanks to all your feedback). Don’t worry, it will be free to those who’ve already bought.
Create a test to help people understand whether they should leave their job or not.
Create a guide on How to Connect with Anyone.
Start a Live Your Legend YouTube channel.
Create a full-blown Live Off Your Passion live course.
Create a strategy for publishing my first book. Chris Guillebeau’s most recent creation, The Unconventional Guide to Publishing, is going to be the perfect road map for this.
Give it Away:
Spend 5 hrs a month (minimum) volunteering in SF with my wife.
Join Tony Robbins’ Foundation.
Make an impact for the Live Your Legend partner charity, impossible2Possible.
Give things I don’t need to people who will benefit (books, things, clothes, ideas…).
Help at least 2 people a month by connecting them with others.
Never Stop Exploring:
Visit Turkey/Greece (to see one of my best friends’ family and hometown).
Experience Portland (for World Domination Summit and a wine trip with my wife).
Take more weekend trips (and longer) with my wife.
Spend a few nights backpacking with close friends.
Climb Half Dome (never got around to that in 2011).
Experience Burning Man (my Italy trip got in the way of this last year).
So there you have it. I’m officially on the hook!
It’s possible other bigger and more imporant things will come up this year, and if they do, I am more than willing to prioritize accordingly (it’s important to not be too rigid with this stuff so you don’t miss any sudden out of the blue opportunities). But most importantly I have an idea of what I want to make reality in 2012.
If you think you can help with any of these, please reach out – I’m sure I could use it!
