If you didn’t read my post that had the video about “The 5 Book” here then do that first before reading this post – it will make a lot more sense that way. You could also go to the publisher’s website here to learn more about it as well.

After doing some thinking, and reading this book, I have decided that I would like to create a list of personal and professional goals/accomplishments/wishes that I would like to focus on for the next five years. I will definitely add to this list. I don’t plan to delete anything but if I decide I might like to accomplish a goal in a different way I will just edit it with italics after the original goal. I’ll keep linking back to this list as I add on to it and accomplish my goals. Once I’ve met the goal I will change the font color to red and an accomplished date.
