My Goals for 2008
Posted on January 4, 2008
Filed Under Academics, Career, Entrepreneur |
So in the spirit of New Years, I figured I’d make some goals for 2008. For one, I’ve been pretty scatter brained and unfocused in my life, so I figured a New Year’s Resolution would help a bit. That New Year’s Resolution quickly evolved into a full out plan with goals for my life for the next year. I figure writing them down and being pretty specific will help me reach them. So with no further ado…
Personal Goals
- Good Health - Seems pretty obvious to most, but for me this is a big point. I never used to have to worry about health since I was a high school athlete, but now intramurals aren’t enough to keep me in good shape. So I’m planning on making a conscience effort to limit my junk food intake and to continue exercising hard three times a week.
- Finish Books - I love reading, but I never finish books. Starting with The Black Swan and Stephen Colbert’s new offering.
- Travel - This is a long shot, but I’d like to take a decent trip this summer. With work and my frugalness, it don’t see this happening though.
- 2 Personals - G and M. Two “too personal” goals here just to remind me. Let your imagination run wild here.
Online Business
- FOCUS - the key word I need to remember regarding my online websites. I need to focus. I can’t start a new site every two weeks then not develop it. So how I will do it:
- Sell 3 Travel Blogs and CarmenElectraBlog.com (If you’re interested, contact me! These are solid blogs, but I just don’t have the time for them anymore.)
- Take three websites to the next level.
Specific Site Goals
- My Budget Travel Blog - $150/month. Bring in more guest bloggers and post more often.
- Cancun Travel Blog - $75/month. Find and hire a blogger for revenue sharing. Be active in the Cancun travel community. Bring on local advertisers. Offer local reviews and local pages. Offer hosting for Cancun travel photos. Hold contests.
- This Site - $70/month. Become moderately authoritative. Become respected amongst other similar bloggers. Participate in other online business student communities.
- Unknown Site - I want to create one new site with some sort of pop culture reference that becomes wildly popular. I want it dugg, stumbled, and crashed because of so many visitors. It’ll be popular for 3 weeks then forgotten forever.
Career and Academic
- Build my resume - I need to get new references and develop some good work history. My plan…
- Find a solid, business related part time job in Spring 2008
- Find adequate summer job at home by March 2008
- Find a solid, business related part time job in Fall 2008
- the GPA…
- Spring 2008 GPA of 3.8+… anything less and I didn’t study hard enough with my upcoming classes
- Fall 2008 GPA of 3.5+…the stupid class curve begins at this time… more on this subject later

Nick I like what you are doing. Sounds to me like you need to flesh out your gameplan a bit if you are going to achieve all of your goals. Just how do you plan to hold yourself accountable? What about metrics on this site that your fans can monitor and encourage you to step it up? I dont know how you can do it all and still get enough sleep and maintain a healthy diet and your sanity! I hope you can prove me wrong i will enjoy following your experience!
Lance, good idea with using a metric to hold myself accountable. I may come up with a graphic after the first quarter that will visually measure my progress. That’s a good call. I really don’t think my goals are that ambitious either, so my sanity should stay relatively normal lol.
