Your Five-Year Goals Are Givens, Not Aspirations

I like five year goals. The time line is far enough away to be useful — you can do pretty much anything in five years. It’s close enough to be meaningful — you can hold five years in your head.
My life took a big pivot just about five years ago. I made some goals for myself that year. Big goals that changed my life. In the last five years, I’ve finished graduate school, started a six-figure business, gotten completely out of consumer debt, and sold two novels to a major publisher.
Those were my five-year goals.
Now that it’s been five years, I thought it would be interesting to look back at my 2015 goals and think about how they went.
