I am one of those goal-oriented people that gets excited thinking about my goals, and actually reads about how to set goals and how to achieve them. I know, you hate me. You think I’m an optimist who lives in the clouds. That’s okay, just because I like to listen to motivational speeches sometimes and read personal development blogs/books, doesn’t make me an idealist. Anyway, new years bring new goals, and since I had a lot of great things happen to me in 2009, I want to share with you all my goals for this year.

Career

• Help RezHub.com become a leader in online travel booking. This is my day job, and it has become my baby. I want to see this website succeed so badly, and I think 2010 is going to be a huge year for this company.
• Get 3 new clients per month for Presence Media. We got 10 in three months, so I figure sticking with that formula would be a realistic goal for 2010. Presence Media is the internet marketing business my buddy Tim and I started last year. We help small businesses market their product and services on social networks and their websites.

Financial

• Reduce our debt by one-third. We have about $60k right now, so hopefully we can pay off $20k this year!
• Build a larger emergency fund. We own a house and are hoping to conceive a child this year, so I want a large cushion just in case something bad happens.

Spiritual

• Read throug the Bible in one year. This one is so cliche, but I really want to do it this year!
• Join a small group at our church. We’ve been attending since last June, and we’re ready to get plugged in. We just need to pick one and start going!

Physical

• I want to run two 15k’s this year. The Gate River Run in Jacksonville, FL is a huge 15k and such a pretty jog. I did it two years ago, but I was also 15 pounds lighter, but I can do it again.
• Be 210 pounds by June. I am about 227 now. 17 pounds shouldn’t be tough, but it’s always the smaller amounts of weight that are harder to get rid of and keep off.

Personal

• Read 2 books per month. I will try to read one fiction and one non-fiction per month. I am starting with Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It’s a bear to start with, but I’ll do something much shorter and less thought provoking after that. After I read every book, I am going to give away two copies on my Twitter profile.
• Pray twice a week with Lindzee. This is a spiritual one too, but it’s also personal/relational. I want to be the spiritual leader more in her life, and I think this is an easy way to start.
