2012 Goals
Taking a page from the playbook of one of my oldest and best friends, Jason Becker, and creating a yearly goals list. He comprises his list in an easy and concise manner, 3 topics - Relationships/ Physical/ and Career (he words them different) with 3 bullets to each topic. Here are mine:
40 under 40
