Make your goals your own, what you want, not anyone else.
Make your goals significant, more, say, than owning every song Roy Orbison released.
Make your goals definite, more specific than “financially independent.”
Make your goals difficult, so you will be challenged, but not impossible.
Make your goals exciting, so you will stay motivated.
Make your goals balanced, between work, money, family, personal stuff, fun.
Make your goals worth something to society, so you’ll sleep better.
Make your goals realistic, at least within realistic time frames.
Make your goals sharable, because you can’t do it alone.
Make your goals based on your central values, because you’ll never succeed against your core character.
