5 year plan (2 years later)

Ok, let's re-look at this:


  • Family: Relationships & Home Environment
    • Maintain a healthy and happy family and marriage (ok, still working on both the happy & healthy)
    • Maintaining an equal life/work balance (what is this anyway?)
    • Preparing to send two sons to college
      (ok, just hoping to get them through high school, after that … there's the door boys)
  • Career: Professional Growth - Career & Work
    • Manage a profitable business (I don't know if I am qualified)
    • Live up to my career potential (not yet, not sure what that is either)
    • Participating in a successful online business (nope)
  • Education: Personal Growth
    • Earn a bachelor's degree in business / marketing / e-commerce (actually, half way through a IT/Multimedia Communications degree, one more year!)
  • Financial: Finances & Wealth
    • Have a financial contribution in the household $60,000 Annually (still just over half this, sigh … buying lotto ticket)
    • Contributing more to retirement (apparently the economy has shrunk my 401k by at least $600, frak!)
    • Contribute to my children's education (I'm thinking G.I. Bill … we'll be out of Iraq by then, right?)
  • Physical: Body & Health
    • Be healthier, proper weight, fit, happy (let's just skip this one)
  • Attitude: Spiritual Growth
    • Become more confident
    • Have more self-esteem
    • Find balance in the universe
  • Pleasure: Leisure & Recreation
    • Travel, take vacations, enjoy my home and family (see Financial & Career sections above)
  • Public Service:
    • Make available time for volunteering
      (eh, probably ain't going to happen right away)
    • Having more money to donate to charity (no more to spare other than what I already do)
  • Artistic:
    • Learn guitar good enough to play on stage
      (not sure I want to do this anyway, really)
    • Get Some Poetry Published (or this)
    • Keep on Blogging! (ah, I will probably do this until it isn't cool anymore)

I still owe you a manifesto… Soon, real soon.
