Life’s Transitions

Over the last little while I have been completely out of the blogosphere. I recently went through transitions.

Long Term Goals

Long term goals are the goals you set for 10 – 20 years down the road. In setting the long term goals, you must have a big picture view of your future. Where do you want to be? What are your financial goals? Where do you see your career? What are your goals for your family? What goals do you have for relationships, i.e. family, spouse, coworkers, friends, etc? You must think long term when setting these goals.
