“Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Now we’re going to do a real lifetime goals exercise. I used a time management system in the 1980s to accomplish one of my major goals: purchasing homes in Ecuador. I faced barriers like financial constraints, language challenges, and navigating international real estate laws. By prioritizing these obstacles and taking small, consistent steps, I achieved my goal. I’ve also applied this system to recent goals, such as obtaining Italian citizenship and reconnecting with family in Italy—stay tuned for more examples!
What's standing between you and your goal? Add each one below.
Drag obstacles from Step 2 into the list below — or drag the + Add to Priority button. Then drag items up or down to set your order. A1 is your biggest barrier.
