Where Do I See Myself in 10 Years?
I’m sure we all ask ourselves this question: where do I see myself in 10 years? I always had this vision of where I was going to be at this point of my life. And quite frankly, I’m not at that point. Though, the reason why I’m asking myself this is the fact that I question if this online entrepreneurship is something I will be able to do for most of my life or is it just another job that may not last forever?
For me, each year changes especially the fact that I’m a go-with-the-flow type of person. But if I had a vision, it’d be something like. 10 years from now I hope will be out of my day job, I have paid all my student loans back and I’m working and enjoying what I do online. Of course, the reasons we all want to work for ourselves is the luxury of being your own boss, the flexibility with your own schedule, etc. I want to be able to travel with just my laptop and still be able to make money anywhere I go. Who doesn’t want to just relax in Hawaii on a beach with your laptop and a mojito? See, I have all these thoughts and dreams on where I see myself every few years and although it may not happen exactly how I want, I’m still working on it. I make a list and every time I accomplish a goal, I cross it off and add a new one. I do that because I don’t want to settle for less, but more importantly, I don’t want to forget some of my goals. Again, some goals change but the general theme tends to stay the same. I may not see myself making millions but if I’m at a job that I can enjoy and appreciate then that’s a stepping stone. I may not see myself married but if I’m with a special person then you’ll continue to see a cheesy smile on my face. I may… well, you get the point, right?
If you have not thought about where you see yourself in 10 years, you should at least think about it, talk to a friend, do whatever. Because when it comes down to it, you have to think do the future at some
