What Goals

Take a few minutes and close your eyes. Let your mind wander and think about what you want out of life. If you have a family, think about what you want for them. Remember—you can dream big!

When you open your eyes, answer these three questions:

  • What is one thing you want or hope to achieve within the next three months? That's a short-term goal.
  • What do you want or hope to achieve within the next year? This is a medium-term goal.
  • What do you want or hope to achieve within the next five years? This is a long-term goal.

Here are some examples of goals.

Short-Term Goals
pay bills on time
buy school clothes for the kids
start saving money to buy a car


Medium-Term Goals
pay off some credit card debt
buy a reliable car
start saving money for an emergency fund


Long-Term Goals
pay off all credit card debt
get additional education or training
buy a home
start a business
