11 Jan Ask the Reader: What’s Your Most Important Goal of 2012? (+ my full list)
“Goals in writting are dreams with deadlines.”
~Brian Tracy
*Note: Below is my full list of goals for 2012, which I created using the free Goal-Setting and Action Workbook. If you haven’t downloaded your copy, do it now and let’s get cranking, because it’s time to share your biggest goal of 2012 with our community!
*****
There’s no getting around it, accountability creates results.
For some reason we tend to have a difficult time keeping promises to ourselves. But most people absolutely hate breaking commitments with others.
That’s exactly why further down this post I’ve shared every goal of mine for 2012. Showing you all everything scares me a bit, but I know that the more people I commit to (10,435 of you as of today), the more on the hook I am and the more likely these things are to actually become reality.
I’ve found no more powerful way to produce results.
So now’s it’s your turn.
In this edition of Ask The Reader, I want to hear what matters to you most this year. This is your chance to speak up and add direct value to what we’re building at Live Your Legend, and get specific help on your biggest goals, both from me and the community.
So here’s the question (please answer it in a 1-5 sentence response in the comments below):
What’s your most important goal of 2012?
**Feel free to stop reading right now and go directly to the comments section below to answer the above. I will pick one of the commenters to feature in an upcoming post and I’ll provide specific guidance to as many of your responses as possible.
If you’re not usually one to comment, I urge you, if you only comment on one post, this is the one. Even if it’s only a sentence or two, and feel free to leave it under a fake name if you must. It will dramatically help YOU, and the rest of our community.
More than anything I want you all to achieve your biggest goals and Live Your Legend (and I) am here to help in any way possible.
So in the spirit of sharing our biggest plans with each other, here is everything I’ve mapped out for 2012. Big or small, here’s the full list…
My 2012 Resolutions/Habits:
As noted in the Goal Setting and Action Workbook, I like to start my process with the overall themes, resolutions and habits I want to engrain this year to be a part of my life for the rest of it. While goals are things that get checked off, these are something that become a part of you. I generally tackled a max of one each month. Thanks to my buddy Leo of Zen Habits for this idea!
Here are mine:
- Be early. Shoot for 10-30 min early. An ongoing focus from 2011.
- Plan less. Sow down and keep balanced.
- Simplify. Go paperless.
- Leave something on the plate. I tend to eat everything in front of me ;).
- Reread more. Reread my top books of all time (80/20 reading).
- Outsource everything that’s not “me”. Only spend time on my natural strengths.
- Meditate.
- Make introductions. Constantly think of people I know who would benefit from meeting each other.
- Become a bigger part of the Young Entrepreneurs Council (YEC). I became a member last year and want to get deeper.
- Work Less (i.e. not on nights an weekends, even if it’s ‘fun’).
And now onto my specific goals and outcomes for the new year.
My 2012 Goals:
These are divided into my various life Areas of Attention. You’ll notice I try to give mine fun and inspiring names. I think you’ll figure out which category is which.
I believe everything (absolutely everything) starts with health so that’s where we’ll start…
Flying Out of the Gym:
I am crazy about fitness challenges. Especially 30-day challenges. Here are the big ones.
- Get Lean Challenge – 25 days of Bikram hot yoga within 30 days (today is my 9th day straight). I am competing with a good friend to see who can lose the most body fat in a month (measured before and after using a DEXA body composition scan). The more fun competition, the more likely it is to happen!
- Run a Long Way (either 50k or 50mi) – The Marin North Face Endurance Challenge is what I have my eye on.
- Complete the Goruck Challenge
Expand the Mind:
- Complete a Neuro-Linguistic Programming course
- Complete a Transcendental Meditation course
- Reread my top 5-10 books
Helping People Find Passion and Do Work they Love:
- Create “version 2.0” of Live Off Your Passion (thanks to all your feedback). Don’t worry, it will be free to those who’ve already bought.
- Create a test to help people understand whether they should leave their job or not.
- Create a guide on How to Connect with Anyone.
- Start a Live Your Legend YouTube channel.
- Create a full-blown Live Off Your Passion live course.
- Create a strategy for publishing my first book. Chris Guillebeau’s most recent creation, The Unconventional Guide to Publishing, is going to be the perfect road map for this.
Give it Away:
- Spend 5 hrs a month (minimum) volunteering in SF with my wife.
- Join Tony Robbins’ Foundation.
- Make an impact for the Live Your Legend partner charity, impossible2Possible.
- Give things I don’t need to people who will benefit (books, things, clothes, ideas…).
- Help at least 2 people a month by connecting them with others.
Never Stop Exploring:
- Visit Turkey/Greece (to see one of my best friends’ family and hometown).
- Experience Portland (for World Domination Summit and a wine trip with my wife).
- Take more weekend trips (and longer) with my wife.
- Spend a few nights backpacking with close friends.
- Climb Half Dome (never got around to that in 2011).
- Experience Burning Man (my Italy trip got in the way of this last year).
So there you have it. I’m officially on the hook!
It’s possible other bigger and more imporant things will come up this year, and if they do, I am more than willing to prioritize accordingly (it’s important to not be too rigid with this stuff so you don’t miss any sudden out of the blue opportunities). But most importantly I have an idea of what I want to make reality in 2012.
If you think you can help with any of these, please reach out – I’m sure I could use it!
Now it’s your turn.
Please tell us your biggest goal in the comments below (if you’re reading this in email, visit the comments now). Leave just a sentence and use a fake name if you must.
Life is not meant to be passive. All that matters is you contribute.
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts, and feature some of you in upcoming posts!
So… What’s your most important goal of 2012?
Simply writing it down below will dramatically increase the odds of it coming true.
We’re all ears.
“This one step – choosing a goal and sticking to it – changes everything.”

Do any of you have a goal of Writing a Book?
It turns out something like 80% of people want to write a book in their lifetime (I’m one of them!), yet a very small percentage actually do. Apparently the publishing business is ridiculously hard to understand. Thankfully, Chris Guillebeau recently released The Unconventional Guide to Publishing: How to Write, Sell and Publish Your Book. He’s already written one successful book and is just finishing up his second. He and his agent have documented the whole process for all of us who want to write our own work of art.
For those of you not familiar, Chris is one of the more influential Living Legends on the web and has been a friend and massive mentor to me over the years. He only does absolute top quality (and ridiculously thorough) work – I trust and stand behind his stuff fully.
If you hope to write a book, be it this year or later on, The Unconventional Guide to Publishing is worth a look. There’s also some really useful bonuses and a 25% discount for those who purchase their copy by this Friday night.
Publishing a book is a huge goal of mine and this is will be my go-to resource.
Enjoy!
*Note: The above is an affiliate link which means Live Your Legend (and our partner charity) will get a little commission if you decide to buy. But as I hope you know by now, I recommend very few things – only those that will provide massive value for you all. I believe this is one of those resources. Thanks for supporting our work here.

Posted at 17:59h, 11 JanuaryMy most important goal for 2012 is to officially start my small business after a year and a half of run-up, planning, stalling and making my brain silly with excitement. This will be a combination of my blog and Daily Money Management…two separate businesses I intend to blend together in this beautiful mixture of active and passive income streams. I’ve been working on the goal setting document for five days now Scott and my core activities are 1) Heavy engagement, networking and collaboration with others on their blogs and my blog and 2) Creation of at least one income generating product or service. I have the quantifiable outcome and specifics down and am ready to rock my massive reason why this NEEDS to happen. I still need to get everything on the calendar but my accountability buddies will be cracking the whip on me as soon as I start the timer for them. I can’t wait to add real value to people’s lives – local and global – for the first time in a business context!

Posted at 18:00h, 11 JanuaryI don’t want to ignore my Goals List this year. Paying regular attention to it (and just doing what I want) will help me reach my more specific objectives too…like renting my second industrial property in Hong Kong to build a CrossFit gym and 2nd dance studio!
Baron
Posted at 18:13h, 11 JanuaryMy overarching goal is to find more balance in my life.
That breaks down into a couple different areas.
The most important area is writing. I want to produce 365,000 words of finished writing.
That’s more than I’ve ever attempted in a single year and a lot more than I got done last year.
I’m wishing myself luck.

Posted at 18:20h, 11 January2011 was a year of limbo for me. I was wandering around thinking of what I could that would really make a difference to both myself and others. In December that all changed when my husband was diagnosed with skin lymphoma. During one of his visits to the hospital, I came across a flier for a challenging event the hospital was holding to raise funds; The Ride to Conquer Cancer. A 200+ km 2-day ride. This is exactly what I was looking for; a personal challenge in both getting fit enough to ride that distance (I haven’t ridden since I was a kid) and gaining confidence in myself to raise the required amount to participate in the ride. It also gives me the chance to thank the hospital staff for all they are doing for my husband (who should make a full recovery) and give back in my own small way. This is my goal for 2012; getting fit, getting out in my community and giving back.

Posted at 19:22h, 11 JanuaryEmma,
This is awesome stuff! I think there are a number of people in the LYL community that would be happy to contribute in some small way if they can. If there is a way I could help (or anyone else reading this train of comments), even if it’s just something seemingly super small, let me know.
Helen McConnell
Posted at 23:25h, 11 JanuaryEmma:
Cycling is a fabulous goal, and a great way to get in shape! A comfortable bike and clothes, and some good training is essential for enjoying a two-day ride. You totally can do it!
I started riding event rides when I was 45. Now, nearly 10 years later, rarely a day goes by that I’m not on my bike.
Keep us posted!

Posted at 18:20h, 11 JanuaryMy main focus this year is to grow my income. I am looking for a new job right now (though I currently have one) and also trying to grow a business.
The business is my long term goal. Ideally it will meet all of my income needs (and it’s something that I love doing and am passionate about). I have started by providing a valuable, free resource. Now I am offering a better version of that resource based on feedback in the form of a monthly subscription newsletter.
Kurt Swann
Posted at 18:31h, 11 JanuaryScott,
Thanks! I especially like your comment about rereading books. I’m going to do that more so I can focus more on putting ideas into practice instead of just churning through new books.
After I read this post, one goal that jumps out for me relates to skydiving. I took skydiving lessons in 2011 and earned a license. In 2012, I want to make a jump from 30,000 feet. The high altitude requires some oxygen and warm clothes because of the thin air and low temperatures. But it’s definitely doable!

Posted at 18:35h, 11 JanuaryTrusting myself. Doing one thing everyday to help me get closer to listening and trusting my intuition.
Jason @ Stop & Breathe
Posted at 18:37h, 11 JanuarySounds like you’ve got a great year ahead of you.
Your goal setting tools were a big help in setting some of my goals this year. Some of the highlights…
1. Be the best father I can be (still puzzled as to how I can make this measurable, but many of my smaller goals contribute.)
2. Secure a minimum of 20 new “quality” clients for my coaching business this year.
3. Complete an ultramarathon. I’m taking a year off of Ironman races to focus on my running, so if there’s a year to do an ultra, this will be it.
Scott, you should head North to do your ultra and you can join Ray and I on some amazing trail runs here in Ottawa. Maybe you can cross off your i2p goal at the same time. 🙂
Michael
Posted at 18:57h, 11 JanuaryScott: I’m so adding your # 4 habits to my “stop doing” list. I catch myself doing that all the time but I just cannot see all that good food go to waste :-).
My goals for 2012:
1. Grow my Leadership Training and Coaching business to where I’m half way to retiring from a job to working my business full time.
2. Get a professionally designed blog & business website
3. Continue to write and publish articles on my blog
4. Grow my blog readership to over 5,000
5. Continue to make an impact with Light the World Foundation – the charity foundation I started in 2009 (Goal is to touch an additional 200 young lives)
6. Grow and expand my network of friends (I was really bad at this but one of your past articles have encouraged me to get better. And after reading “Never Eat Alone” by Keith F. There was no more doubt about me doing this.)
7. Host at least 2 live Leadership and Professional Development seminars in my hometown
8. Continue to add value to others by facilitating at least one free ongoing leadership Mastermind Group study
9. Complete the 12-month “Learn, Grow and Achieve” Virtual Seminar Series I started in Dec. 2011 and turn the calls into podcasts
10. Institute an ongoing “Youth Leadership Workshop” as an integral part of Light the World Foundation
I’m going to stop here… But I have a lot more that I could add.

Posted at 21:11h, 11 JanuaryWhy don’t I stop wishing and just DO IT? Because I believe I AM doing it and it’s my job to put it out there, for the biggest, best and most benevolent outcome for all of us. Thank you, Scott.
Tosha
Posted at 19:15h, 11 JanuaryI am one that doesn’t comment. Lurker if you will. 🙂
I love your site & in the process of filling out the 2012 goals your style.
My biggest goals for 2012 are:
1. Earn a 6 figure income working 35hrs a week or less in my fitness business so that I can travel, save, donate & have more choices in life.
2. Open or co-open a studio for my indoor boot camps and of course regular clients
3. Become debt-free
4. Travel 30 days total for better work life balance.
Whew! I love the way I keep seeing this in writing! Thank you!
Kseniia
Posted at 19:24h, 11 JanuaryMy overall goal for this year is to find my place in life, even though it sounds quite abstract. However, what is killing the most is uncertainty. I’m a law student about to graduate, but I don’t feel like being a lawyer, not at all. Also I can’t imagine myself working in the office environment, 9-18 Mon-Fri (in the best case).
I’m striving otherwise for creative career now. Trying myself in writing (won several literature awards as a student, writing in my native language, which is not English), journalism and music. Might sounds pathetic for a girl with LLM, but that’s what I truly want.
Therefore, more concrete goal for this year – stop dreaming and start doing. Prove to myself and others that I worth attention. Well, make a living with what I like to do and not with what I should force myself to do. And keep on reminding myself everyday: “it’s never too late to be what you might have been”. Thanks.
Helen McConnell
Posted at 23:39h, 11 JanuaryKseniia:
I just have to tell you how courageous and brilliant you are! Take time to figure out what you want to do. You wouldn’t be the first lawyer who doesn’t practice law! Life is very short, and it’s easy to get “stuck” in a career you don’t like. Listen to your heart, and live your dreams!
Leigh
Posted at 08:02h, 12 JanuaryKseniia,
Thanks for posting this! It really spoke to me because I am in a similar situation- about to graduate with an engineering masters degree and also not feeling like an engineer. All of my classmates are landing great jobs in the field and meanwhile I’m dreaming of opening a small business. They look at me funny when I tell them and wonder why I spent the last two years in school just to change careers.
My goal before I graduate is to be more successful at tuning out other’s opinions and wishes for me and focusing on what I truly want. I’ve finally realized there’s nothing noble or great about struggling with something you don’t love!
Good luck to you!
Haley
Posted at 19:48h, 11 JanuaryI have a few, but there are 3 that are my top priorities.
1. Continue to maintain a strong happy marriage with my Husband.
2. Generate income from my blog and products (current products and those to come).
3. Lose these last few stubborn pounds! 😉
I have really enjoyed your site!
Charlie
Posted at 20:14h, 11 JanuaryI’m telling everyone I can about my goals this year, the more accountability the better. I have a crazy long list, but my absolute #1 commitment is to finish building my boat. Thanks for the venue to commit myself further!
Tomi
Posted at 20:51h, 11 JanuaryHi. Well its quite simple for me this year as I intend to achieve my goal of becoming a professional blackjack player as I jetset interstate on a continual basis learning the craft and becoming better equipped to become a pro like the best that are out there already making loads of money.
Nancy
Posted at 21:45h, 11 JanuaryUsually not one to comment, but thanks for motivating me to write a few of these down.
1. Adopt a baby. My partner and I have all of the paperwork, homestudy, etc completed and are waiting to be matched.
2. Work on reducing my business and personal debt.
3. Sell our townhouse to assist with goal #2
4. Get sexy in 2012 which translates into lose 10-15lbs, eat healthy, exercise more.
5. Find ways to travel and explore the world without going into debt.
Downloading your workbook tonight. Can’t wait to get started.
Evon
Posted at 21:53h, 11 JanuaryMy most important goal of 2012 is to visit Sarajevo at least once and make an impact, no matter how small, in the lives of the women survivors of war there. I have already started the ball rolling by sponsoring one Bosnian woman through Women for Women International. I want to sponsor as many as I can and I want to be personally involved in their development.

Posted at 21:59h, 11 JanuaryMy goal this year is to get divorced, send my first born off to college and earn $36,000 (3K/month). I’ve been sticking this marriage out for the sake of my children and because I have been / still am afraid of going out on my own, but I just can’t take it anymore. This dollar amount does not sound like a lot in the scheme of things but it would be enough for me. In the interest of privacy I am not going to elaborate on how I plan on earning this but I do have a plan.
debbie
Posted at 22:07h, 11 JanuaryMy goals are to increase going to yoga class from once a week to twice a week, save 70% of extra money I earn toward my morgage and retirement and take a four week course of Spanish in a spanish speaking country.
Jenny
Posted at 23:05h, 11 JanuaryIt is 10 days since I got out of an abusive relationship. My goal for this year is to create a happy environment for my daughter and I, get back on my feet and get my self esteem back.
Ravi Sagar
Posted at 00:02h, 12 JanuaryFirst of all, I would like to say that I have learnt a lot from your blog ever since I came to know about it few months back. I always look forward to your amazing posts. I can always relate the tips and advices that you share.
Ok here are my goal. I will share only those I am comfortable with. Some goals are personal you know 🙂
1. I want to become a known Drupal Expert this year with the help of a website where I will be uploading free Drupal training videos.
2. I want to become a known travel photographer.
3. I want to start a travel portal where people can know more about exotic locations in india and I want to start travelling to various places in India, covering exotic locations/people and sharing them on the website with the help of videos and photographs.
4. I really want to become a good speaker by the end of this year.
I have already started work on these top 4 goals of mine and have planned out everything. Now the tough part is keeping myself motivating all the time and try not to waste my time. From time to time I tend to deviate from my plan ue to various reasons but I guess that what I need to improve upon.
Have a great day scott!!
Well thats reall the top goals
Carole
Posted at 01:15h, 12 JanuaryMy overriding goal for 2012 (and ongoing) is to become more at Peace with and within myself. My more ‘concrete’ goals are: to attract my soul-mate before my next birthday; start my brilliant new career; and buy a house near the beach.
Neil
Posted at 01:35h, 12 JanuaryMy goal for 2012 is quite simple actually:
Write more, work less.
2011 was spent working every hour God sent on client work. 2012 is going to be about writing blog posts, working on my book and hopefully it will be a more enjoyable, more balanced year.
Good luck everyone with your goals
aurélie
Posted at 01:55h, 12 JanuaryMy biggest goal is to take care of myself and never stop trying to get happier, after spending most of my life (at least the last ten years, and I’m 25) in a bad depression, having forgotten it was possible to actually prefer to be alive and not killing myself only because I was afraid of suffering even more. My progress is really slow but there it is so I must go on and try harder! Thank you for your website, very interesting 🙂
Pia
Posted at 01:56h, 12 JanuaryHi Scott,
my top 5 goals for 2012:
1. pass my running-coach-exam tomorrow (Friday the 13th – what a wonderful date for that)
2. running at least one marathon sub4 or one 50k run in I-don´t-know-what-time
3. saving money and buy a piano and start torturing all my neighbours 🙂
4. keeping my brain working with learning
5. most important: I want to be more authentic and stop comparing me to other people all the time. I´m ok the way I am!
So these are the most important things I worked out with your goal-setting-WB – thank you for that and all the best for you!
Greetings from foggy Germany
never stop running!
Pia

Posted at 02:02h, 12 JanuaryThis year I aim to get a better work/life balance and to work on my sewing skills by regular practice. I’d also like to improve my fitness levels while remaining the same weight that I am now. I don’t have any huge goals for this year but last year was a re-assessment year for me so this year is the start of a journey and I want to begin with baby steps.
my honest answer
Posted at 02:43h, 12 JanuaryMy big goal for this year is to grow my website so that it become self-funding. Thanks to your year planner, I’ve already got my goals, and babysteps in place. In fact, I started working on them right after I’d completed the questionnaire, and I have seen results in less than 48 hours! Thank you so much for making such great free content available to us all. In 2012 I’m going to Live My Legend!
Ant
Posted at 03:41h, 12 JanuaryI read a lot of inspired, evolved comments here about growth and development. My desire for this year is to once and for all, kick depression. I have lived with this disease for so long I can’t even remember what life was like without it constantly haunting me. Wish me luck as I continue my search for what I need to beat it for good.
Kerryn Angell
Posted at 03:45h, 12 JanuaryMy most important goal for 2012 is to FIND MY IDEAL WEIGHT.
I’m not trying to diet to a particular number of pounds or inches. I’m using things like BMI as a guidance only. Only I am going to know what the ideal weight for me is. I know that I’m not at my ideal weight and I’m only going to know that once I’m there.
I’m focusing on eating a more natural, veggie and fruit rich diet and exercising every day. 11 days in and I’m going strong.
Jaive
Posted at 04:15h, 12 JanuaryMy really big goal this year is to make 1 million kina (about $200,000 US dollars) so I can take my Dad to Hawaii to visit the University he went to, take my mum to Rome for a mass at the Vatican city and have enough left to buy a house
Noch Noch
Posted at 05:57h, 12 Januarymy goal for the year: “Be Me”
who i am inside, what i’m like, just not be afraid or apologize for being me, i’m prepared some people won’t like me, but that’s all ok
need to be true to myself and the rest will follow!

Posted at 06:04h, 12 JanuaryMy biggest goal for 2012 is to increase my financial IQ. It has always been one of those topics that my eyes glaze over when someone tries to talk to me about and it is essential that I find a resource, or approach, that will be effective for me. My husband and I have 3 boys and I would like to help them avoid having massive debt after completing college. I want to be able to teach them about how money “works” too because that wasn’t something I was taught. Seems like a wonderful gift to myself and for my family overall.
Lisa
Posted at 06:07h, 12 JanuaryOkay. Time to write them down and make some plans. For 2012 I will:
1. Finish my dissertation and complete my doctoral degree.
2. Eat better – healthier and thus lose some weight
3. File for divorce – after a year long separation
4. Make a job change – increase my income
There are some others that I could add…but those are pretty big as it is. There. I’ve said it. is the time to take action!
Gail
Posted at 06:15h, 12 JanuaryThank you for this opportunity and for your very inspiring blog and web site. This year my main goal is to find a way to overcome my debilitating writer’s block and regain my creativity and interest in my work.
Robin
Posted at 06:39h, 12 JanuaryMy Goals can be categorized:
Financial
Cut mortgage debt drastically
Blog
Add more tags to posts, make archives easier to search, build in organization to so that I can keep new content easily organized
Creative
Grow my personal style learning more about color and design, and express it in my lifestyle and on my blog
Fitness
Exercise rigorously for an hour a day, 5 days a week.
Eat nutritious foods and get a taste of every decadent thing I desire, all in moderation.
Michelle
Posted at 07:40h, 12 JanuaryInstead of sharing my specific goals, I’m going to share my overarching theme which is to spend as little time as possible doing things that I’m not truly passionate about. I’m redesigning my life to focus on the things that make me excited to get out of bed each day 🙂
Sabine
Posted at 07:59h, 12 JanuaryMy biggest goals are finishing my advanced training I started last year and selling my house.
Keep up the good work, Scott, and thanks for everything up to now!
Steve
Posted at 09:37h, 12 JanuaryMy two biggest goals for 2012 are:
1) To start a new blog.
2) To be more outwardly thankful. I have a goal of writing a thank you note or personally thanking someone for something that they have done that has made a difference every day of the year.
Lelani Fetrow
Posted at 11:38h, 14 JanuaryKseniia – follow your heart and deep yearnings!
Lelani Fetrow
Posted at 11:42h, 14 JanuarySorry Steve – I clicked on the wrong reply button – the first one was for the person above on the list.
I may be of value to you in achieving your goal of sending a “Thank You” note. If you are interested contact me and I will show you how you can act on those promptings when they come.
Richard
Posted at 09:58h, 12 JanuaryThanks for this accountability opportunity, Scott! My most important goal for 2012 is: Give/Serve first, so that I can GIVE/SERVE even more (I really do believe “you reap what you sew”)! All of my more specific goals can be found under this over-arching goal.
Laura
Posted at 10:38h, 12 JanuaryMy number one goal in 2012 is to help coordinate and participate in the RUN ACROSS THE AMERICA with my tri team Rev3 tri and raise $100,000 for the Ulman Cancer Fund! We start March 26th and Run through April 15th.

– Complete the Chisholm Trail Ultra (my idea)
– Add 2-3 board members to Know No Boundaries
– Expand the number of people we help through Know No Boundaries
– Eat healthier DAILY

Posted at 10:50h, 12 JanuaryMy biggest goal for 2012 is to figure out how to make enough income to sustain my lifestyle (including travel) doing things I love.
I’ve started down the path, but there’s not really much income yet and in about six months I’ll have corporate consulting doors open, which will be very tempting to take but will distract me from really exploring what *I* want to do. So my challenge is to be making it before then, so I’m not tempted to fall back on the treadmill.

Posted at 12:58h, 12 January2012 is a retrench year for me. My overarching goal for this year is simply ‘Define Myself’. Who am I now, and who do I want to be? There is a potential new opportunity at work that could be very exciting, the half-finished novel (pre-order your copy today!), getting back into music and more plus all the standard ‘life’ stuff. I want to figure out what I really want then pare down the interests/obligations until I’m doing what I want and JUST what I want. Then I need to see what skills/habits/traits I need to thrive and work on those, see what ‘stuff’ I need/use and get rid of the rest. Writing all of this down, of course. Lots of introspection coming on…

Posted at 13:36h, 12 JanuaryI have only 2 goals for this year:
1) Doing more what I love to do and what is truly important for me.
2) Sharing this with as much people as I can.
(3) Optional: and earn good money with it so I can keep doing it over and over.

Posted at 16:13h, 12 JanuaryAs I move into my final year of my twenties, I deeply aspire to finally know my true self. I want to show up for life – my life. I am committed more than ever to begin my life’s work and know that I am living each day fulfilling my passion. Recently laid off from a job of five years, I have chosen to see it as a gift – a ticket to ‘go’ anywhere I want and the time is now. I did not make the Top 30 Under 30 this decade; but quality time invested in self reflection and self discovery will undoubtedly reveal my truth – Top 40 Under 40, I think so! I can no longer accept taking a backseat as the classic listener/observer rarely expressing myself. I have let fear dictate my life until now. A mentor recently shared this quote with me and it has since become my guiding words for 2012: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” by Anais Nin. Here’s to letting go of the fear and to finding a deeper awareness/connection to the self. Thank you, Scott, for giving me the opportunity to have a voice!

Posted at 17:59h, 12 JanuaryHey Scott, you now have an accountability group with your goals! Personally I want to successfully launch 3 products for people to use and run a half marathon. I also want to leave my home state 6 times which will keep me moving forward since I am somewhat of a home body.

Posted at 18:20h, 12 JanuaryMy number one goal is to follow a personalized nutrition plan to optimize my health within the context of my current health challenge.
Inspired by Kris Karr (Crazy Sexy Cancer), I engaged a physician that specializes in nutritional therapy. I recently began following his customized plan for me.
The time part of this goal is to stick with the program for the duration specified by my doctor.
Scott, thanks for a great post, and for encouraging hold-outs like me to comment. Good luck with all your goals!

Posted at 23:46h, 12 JanuaryHi Scott, stumbling upon your site LIVE YOUR LEGEND is the first inspirational thing that happened to me in 2012.
Have been reading some of the comments on the article DOES WHAT YOU’RE DOING ACTUALLY MATTERS and NOMI’s comments brought me to tears as I resonate with some of her feelings.
I quit my job 3 months ago on the basis that I was not enjoying it, not being appreciated at work and was lost in all directions regarding my career.
I spent 2 carefree months doing household chores, travelling and visiting my parents but in Dec I decided it was time to job hunt (but with no luck to-date).
Much as I want to identify my WHY & PASSION and to connect them to a job or work that can feed me as well, I can’t help thinking I am doing this at the expense of spending time to seriously improve my resume and securing a job that would finally stop my savings from depleting.
I also thought about securing a job first and that would make me feel less guilty in spending time exploring the WHY topic. But with no luck in my job hunt, I am in dilemma and near tears everyday and always checking my own mental state to not fall into a depression.
Connecting with one’s WHY & PASSION is important but difficult when we have to balance it with the harsh reality of life that bills need to be paid and our golden age is approaching with no sound retirement plans in sight.

Posted at 06:49h, 13 JanuaryGreat goals. I really like #1 in the Expand the Mind section: Complete a Neuro-Linguistic Programming course. Do you have one picked out? I would also like to complete a course like that but I have had trouble finding a good one. Thanks
Pamela
Posted at 07:14h, 13 JanuaryI quit my corporate job (with a severance package) in 2007, and started training to be an acupuncturist (which is a four year commitment!). I am now two board exams away from my Virginia license and itching to get started. My goal in 2012 is to establish a thriving practice that will pay the bills (mortgage, grocery, utility), support the expenses for the practice, repay my student loans as quickly as possible, and still allow myself to save for the future (I’m not far off from 50, so I need to be diligent about retirement). While it is a challenge, I feel strongly that this is my calling.

Posted at 09:44h, 13 JanuaryIn 2012, I’ve chosen to focus less on destinations (goals), less on paths (habits) and more on directions (themes). 2012 will be vacilando for me.
Whereas in the past I had measurable goals or specific behavioral resolutions, this year I have a motto and seven verbs I’m exploring.
My motto: Make More Mistakes
And the seven verbs: Appreciate, Help, Socialize, Simplify, Exercise, Savor & Extend.
I elaborated on what these mean in my post 1 Motto + 7 Verbs for 2012.

Posted at 17:00h, 13 JanuaryScott,
Thanks for the awesome post. I have just downloaded the worksheet and will do my goal setting again and see what I come up with.
What I have been doing for almost a year now is publishing on my personal blog what I call my “short list of BIG things”. It is very effective at making me accountable as well as helping to keep focused on what I want to achieve. Here is my first short list of BIG things for 2012 (target is 30 June for this list):
*for the first three months I am committed to my Cohens program again (30kgs last year and I should be back to my pre December 2011 weight by the end of the week!)
* engagement, wedding, house warming (x2) and birthday party by 30 March (we have already purchased the Moet!)
*run 5km or 30 minutes by my birthday (17 July)
*moving house on 1 February, so time to make a home
*more photos – especially of the things that I and Caryn do and the places we travel
*holiday in America in June
*host TEDxDarwinLive 2012 on 1 March
*host the TEDxDarwinSalon series with at least 3 events before 30 June
*successfully host the National Convention of Beefsteak and Burgundy Clubs on 1 June
*8 posts on http://www.entrepreneursNT.com.au by 30 June
*6 posts on http://www.publicservicelive.com by 30 June
host an event in national youth week promoting young entrepreneurship
* start an enterprise and earn $5K by 30 June
PS Given I have purchased your program and a few others, one of my goals should be to actually do the programs! No books or courses until I have read all that I purchased in 2011!
Anita
Posted at 17:14h, 13 JanuaryThis is the first time I am putting this in writing. I’m terrified but determined. In 2012 I will…Take a year off to travel and finally have the adventure that I’ve wanted to have since I was a kid. Start a writing project to see if I really can do it. Find a way to use my coaching skills pro bono to make things better for others. I’m working to simplify my life and to live it less ordinary. I can’t imagine how it will all come together but something is pulling me and it’s time to do this thing.
Eka
Posted at 12:11h, 14 JanuaryAwesome Anita. I hear and admire your sincerity and vulnerability.
This feeling you are moving through is exactly what all heroes living their personal legend must go through. I am inspired by your post.
A question for you: how are you building in support and accountability into your structure?
In other words, how will you keep motivation and clarity if/when times get difficult? What people, what environments, what habits will help you in those times? And how can you maximize this kind of support in your life?
I wish you all the best =)

Victoria @ My Daily Cuppa
Posted at 17:25h, 13 JanuaryWell, this is my first time commenting on this blog. I have also created a list of goals for 2012. The hardest thing is keeping up the motivation in order to see them through to fruition.
What can one do about maintaining motivation?
Paige Burkes | simple mindfulness
Posted at 08:19h, 14 JanuaryVictoria,
If you’re struggling with motivation, ask yourself if your goals are in alignment with your core values? Do you know what your top 3 values in life are? While things may appear to be important (or they’re supposed to be important according to the dictates of our society), they may not really be important for YOU. Are your goals for you or for others? Motivating yourself to achieve goals that are only to please others can be tough. Something to think about…
Eka
Posted at 11:58h, 14 JanuaryI agree with Paige on this inquiry. This can be so crucial to identifying what are your REAL aims, and what may be the aims you’ve adopted from the influences around you.
On a second level, your aims may be yours, but because they represent the next level for you, they are on some level threatening to the ‘internal status quo’.
When you think about these aims or start to engage them, a bunch of self-sabotaging behavior comes up. If this is the case, you may want to go deeper into understanding how to work with neuro-psychological inertia (built-in conditioning to keep things safe, comfortable and familiar).
There are many, many techniques that are effective for this… just start exploring.
Good luck =)

Posted at 18:42h, 13 JanuaryLate last year I ended up out of a job (by choice), and I have since had 6 weeks off. In 2011 I lamented about the lack of time I had for the important things in my life while I held a 9-5 job. In the past 6 weeks I have completed many projects which have been sitting in my to-do list for way too long! I don’t have a complex list of goals, but in 2012 I want to make enough money to be comfortable (self-employed as a chemistry tutor), so that I can make time for the important things in my life, namely relationships with family & friends, making music, improving my health, and beginning a legacy project.
Eddy Azar
Posted at 00:51h, 14 January2 Goals this year:
FREEDOM: Make $3500/month with less than 5 hours of required work/week. The result: The funding and time to pursue all the goals and adventures I crave (and a bunch I haven’t even thought of yet).
LOVE: Become amazing with women. The result: A completely confident and exciting me that is always in at least one romance, and able to create a new one with any girls I want.
Cheers to life!

Posted at 08:31h, 14 JanuaryScott,
I’d love to help you with your guide on How to Connect with Anyone. A few years ago I found myself in a situation where I (a major introvert) had to get out and start networking heavily to find a job. I pushed myself way out of my comfort zone and totally transformed how I saw the process as well as my results. I wrote a post about it on my blog (search for “networking”). I’d love to be able to teach others how to use the process to expand their worlds. Please email me and let me know how I can help!

Posted at 11:19h, 14 JanuaryMy most important goal in 2012 is to, by the end of this year, develop an alignment of both my personal and work life. I am currently working hard in two jobs, nether of which inspire me. I am constantly tired and frustrated, despite being very good at what I do in both areas. I am yearning to do something different, something meaningful, yet being mindful of my values, my beliefs (especially about people), and my time (most important). I am taking this year, 52 weeks in all, to accomplish this goal and, in the process, set up smaller, more focused goals, like developing a budget with my girlfriend by the end of next month, to align ourselves financially for the benefit of her kids and, to a lesser degree, ourselves. Here’s hoping everyone posting accomplishes their dreams and goals in 2012 with Scott’s help!
Lelani Fetrow
Posted at 12:06h, 14 JanuaryHi – Not sure what happened to my first post.
Scott – Burning Man is an experience to be had. I went a couple of years ago and I am hoping to go at least once more – first time was a bit overwhelming so I would like to go again.
My goals – The first few I am focusing on right now since I lost my job; a job I didn’t want anymore and was perfect timing to push me to move forward!
1. Going on a Spiritual Meditation Retreat next week in Colorado.
2. Starting school to achieve my Nursing degree after many years of not following my passion(bigger visions with this later – mission trips and starting my own health and wellness business)
3. Grow….Really jump start my “SendOutCards” business – I have dabbled but now I am ready for the income I need to not “work” again!
Thanks so much for your inspiring messages and the goal workbook which I am going to complete by next week.
Thanks again – Lani

Posted at 17:44h, 14 JanuaryFor me it’s split between two – sleeping better (earlier, more hours- right now I’m working on switching off lights at 11pm) and studying for the USMLE step 1, which may take all year since I’m preparing in Venezuela where I go to med school… Good luck with everything!

Posted at 15:43h, 15 JanuaryThis year I want to change the way I see the calendar. I do not want to worry about on a Monday or a Friday and do not want to feel pressured by other people. I created a small startup in the publishing world and this month we will publish the first three books also in the U.S. (I’m Italian). I want to become a mother once again, God willing, and especially do not want regrets.

Posted at 21:57h, 15 JanuaryI could give you my list of career/work related goals – there’s always a long ongoing list of things I’m excited about… but the truth is the real goals for me are:
1. making sure I make room for all those goals
2. allow myself to be seen more often
3. re-connect with the people closest to me
4. re-commit to my health & fitness > might have to create a 30 day challenge for myself too!
Great workbook Scott! Really enjoyed the exploration.

Posted at 11:13h, 17 JanuaryJust like you–and also thanks to Leo!–I also have a set of habits that I’m working on, in addition to a few goals I’d like to achieve.
My habits (each gets 2 full months to really let it “sink in” and become a habit):
1. Meditate Daily (started Nov. 2011, now I just need to maintain it)
2. Floss Daily 😀
3. Take vitamins daily
4. Arriving early to appointments (“Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable!”)
5. Present Moment Awareness. Focus on slowing down and unitasking. (“Operation Focus”)
6. Practice remembering people’s names
7. Waking early (my arch nemesis…)
My Goals:
1. Get married! (ok, that’s more of a milestone than a goal…but it’s a huge deal!)
2. Gain momentum with & grow my new blog, Ms. Jane of All Trades
3. Launch my freelance writing business & author platform (I have a detailed strategy in place for this, which I’ve already started! It’s based on Ferriss’s article “8 Steps to Getting What You Want… Without Formal Credentials”)
4. Finish the first draft of my science fiction novel (currently in the works)
5. Learn how to carve on the snowboard (Staying on 1 edge gets tiring, lol)
6. Learn how to surf
7. Learn how to drag knee (I have been riding for five years & finally saved up money to upgrade to a Honda CBR 600 this year! Currently shopping for that…*giddy*)
*phew!* Did I miss anything? Ha!
Life is good. 2012 is going to rock. 🙂

4) Lose the extra weight and be happy with my body
5)Find a way to give back—maybe special olympic coaching?
6) Make steps to move out west–or at least establish a bi coastal life

Posted at 09:33h, 21 JanuaryTo be less mindless…less mindless eating, mindless breathing, mindless sitting, mindless watching of tv, mindless spending, mindless complaining!
I usually give myself the goal to be more mindful, but less mindless is working better for me.
I have also started a blog to track this to help me rewire my neurons! If I am constantly reminding myself to be less mindless and I practice this daily – new neurons…voila!
This will help me to achieve my lovely goals without striving. Time will tell 🙂

Posted at 16:40h, 04 FebruaryVacation Rentals are the better way to travel because of Privacy. For people who like having their own space, hotel rooms are only slightly more inviting than the baggage claim area at a major airport. Maids coming and going, thin walls, elevator and HVAC noise, crowded pools…. Those irritants just don’t apply in most vacation homes.
