I’ve had an ongoing 5 year plan ever since I started to pay off my debt back in 2005 and now I’m nearly done with year eight! Wow! Things have changed along the way and things will probably change in the future (I never count my chickens!), but for now, 2016 should mark the end of a twelve year journey to a dream.
Dream BIG!

What’s your dream?
I *love* this post! It’s so inspiring – I need to go off & come up with my own plans. And, you are amazing for working towards such a fabulous goal!
Thank you so much. I love reading the goals of others – so inspiring! I look forward to what you come up with
i love this! I made a 5 year plan at the beginning of 2012, but I’m a little nervous about posting it…. maybe I will now!
Don’t be nervous, I’d love to see it!
This post immediately made me think of the saying “perserverance pays off”. Congratulations on your success!
I need to take some time and think of what goals I want to attain in 2013 and beyond. 2012 is an amazing year for me because so much was achieved that had been planned so I need to make sure I think out at least 2013 in advance.
Thank you! I’m looking forward to reading what you have planned in 2013!
Big plans and big accomplishments already – you are doing great!
Thank YOU!
As I have said before, you are my inspiration!!
awww, thank you Lisa.
And I need to come up with plan of my own.
