2007 Goals

I was looking around the blogosphere to see who, if anyone, has updated their blogs recently. Over at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity, I found a post for Jim's 2007 goals. Now, part of me says that this is a bit ridiculous, and part of me says that the information is too private. However, you can't be held accountable if no one knows what you are supposed to be held accountable FOR. So no matter how absurd doing this might seem to my ego, I'm going to do it anyway. In following with Jim's thoughts, I added "stretch" goals, and boy, do they *ever* seem to be stretches. But hey, to paraphrase T. Harv Eker, your bank account can only grow to the extent that you do. (Actually, that may be a direct quote, but I don't have the book here with me. *shrug*)
