Dien and Taylor -

You both made excellent points in reposte to my post:-)

Re some of my goals for this year in answer to Taylor and Gordon's posts(not resolutions as they've been ongoing):

Health: Major goal = lose 35 lbs on or before July 4th (independence from beer belly day:-))

Enabling/intermediate goals to reach this: a. Order and use DietPower software to track food and exercise progress (now using it)
b. Pick nutrition/exercise plan to follow (Body for Life by Bill Phillips - will start the 2001 12 Week Challenge on 1/1/01!)
c. Establish monthly rewards for consistent downward progress (in process)

Finance/Business major goal: Create mid-six figure income this year as part of startup company that has excellent potential and is in my field of interest and expertise

Enabling goals:
a. Network and research opportunities (completed)
b. Pick and join company (completed - will start with Exostar (see www.exostar.com for details) as sales director on Jan 2 - 5th employee with stock options and excellent growth potential)
c. Make it happen by actions in the marketplace (starting next week!)

The finance/business goal is an intermediate in support of financial independence by 2004.

I also have spiritual and relationship goals as well, following a similar process of major goal supported by intermediate actions. I'll post them if there's any interest as Gordon goes thru his areas above.

Good thread!
