We all have a general idea of what our "dream life" is, but taking the time to write down exactly what your dream is can be a fun and inspiring challenge.
I was recently hit with the challenge from Crystal to complete the Dream Meme.
MY DREAM
is to live a life full of options with few requirements. To be financially able to embrace whatever passion might control me any week of the year. To be able to switch from being a designer, photographer, developer, blogger, chef or whatever whenever that is what I want most. I want to set up enough passive income streams so that I can spend time educating others on how to achieve their goals. I want to become popular enough in some niche of life where my words can have an impact on the lives of others in hopes of motivating enough people to effect some good on this world.
MY GOALS FOR 2008
- Take this blog more seriously by redesigning it so that it will be beautiful and unique, find my niche of topics to give more focus to the blog and start writing daily.
- Start the first blog in my personal self-improvement blog network.
- Pay off 2 credit cards.
TODAY
Do some sketching for this blog’s redesign.
Those are my dreams.
What are yours?



Wow! I bow to your goals, Jeremy…I’m inspired by your inspiration
My favorite bit is “I want to become popular enough in some niche of life where my words can have an impact on the lives of others” … I didn’t realize how much I wanted this until I read your words…interesting.
Narrowing the blog topics is something I am working on also. I was thinking an editorial schedule for M, W, F, and TH is wildcard day? Were you thinking of that kind of structure? Or just narrowing your scope?
Thanks and thanks again.

That line you quoted is something I think most bloggers need to shoot for. If your words can’t persuade people then you are just talking into a vacuum. Plus it would be cool to have some fans.
About the blog topics question, kinda a mix of all three above. I need to add some structure to when I post. Right now it’s when something pops into my head. I don’t research blog topics I just say “Hey thats a good thought I’m thinking. Maybe others would like to hear it.”
I want to get a schedule like you mentioned and have weekly style posts for the days.
Also I am at a big struggle right now deciding if I should focus this blog on a certain niche or just keep it the way it is now, being focused on a broad range of subjects. Wisdom says I need to get a niche but then my marketing ideas don’t have anywhere to rest along with a few other more random categories.
I hope you can fulfill your dream.
My dream: have a successful design agency in 2012, be financially independent and be happy with my family/friends.
I’ve added this blog to my daily read.. thanks Jeremy!
Goals for 2008:
Found company ( done )
Invoice over $200,000 in revenue ( not quite there yet, but on a good pace )
Shift 30% of business to UK / European market ( slowly but surely making progress )
It’s great to keep goals, and even better to have people to help you keep up to date on them. Do you have anyone helping you as a “support” group?
