where you want to be in 5 years?

[Dizaster]

Apart from this being the most fucked up useless question any employer can ask a potential employee in a job interview, it's probably one of the most important questions one can ask themselves if they want to make something of their life and achieve it...

I'll start...

Apart from wanting to win the Lotto or something crazy like that which i'm not betting on..

In 5 years I want to be running my own small business. I currently work full time and enjoy where I am, but I want to start a office cleaning business that I can operate after my normal job's hours. I hope by this time next year I have that going. But after 5 years I hope that i'm the main office cleaning business in my area where there are literally hundreds of offices to be cleaned. So hopefully I have at least 50 clients. I want to just be a behind the scene's person as well and have the business practically running itself.
I then want to look at starting a second business doing something else that involves a little more outlay, but with bigger rewards as well. I'm not sure what sort of business/thing that will be, but my cleaning business will give me all the skills and some spare money to get that going...
Then after that I hope to have enough money to put down a large deposit on a house where the rent is higher than the mortgage repayments so that it gives me a bit of income as well.. And build for there getting more houses in the same manner. Only if the rent can be more than the mortgage payments.
I also hope that around that time, I'll be able to put together maybe 1 or 2 deals a year where I can find some sort of house that I can fix up and sell quickly to make a $5000 to $10000 twice a year just from those deals...
Obviously my business is the way I want to get to being able to buy properties.. Like they say, it takes money to make money.. And at any rate, it's next to impossible on a regular everyday wage to really be able to invest and get a good return.. So that's why I want to start a small business that doesn't take too much money to start, but it's on my shoulders, motivation and commitment on how much return I get,,, and not how much money I start with..
I also want to have an account where i'm regularly saving just a little bit for the future each week. And by 5 years I want to have taken at least one really nice holidays overseas to some of the amazing places around the world that I want to see..
I don't really have any goals plans in regards to relationship or family type stuff at the moment.. That can just sort of follow it's own course...
I also want to be a lot healthier in 5 years than now. I want to be going for runs at least 4 or 5 times a week and be in a routine of eating healthy, and not smoking at all, and rarely drinking.
And finally I also want to follow on with my reading about meditation and spirituallity, and apart from all my physical/material measurable goals, I want to be a really comfortable person in my mind.. Not volatile like I am now with letting a lot of stuff stress me out. But really working towards being very centred and strong at my core. Like just a general core happiness and contentness regardless of anything that could go on around me.....


I know everyone probably has different goals so everyone should reply to this even just for themselves... I thought of a few things above that I hadn't really thought about until now. But I realised writting them that they are as important to me as anything else i'd want to have in 5 years..
