Important thoughts on goals and dreams:)

It’s important that you set goals for yourself.

Not just business-related…

But personal goals too: Things to work towards, things you have always wanted to do for yourself and your loved ones.

Want to know mine?

Here are three of my “big ticket” personal goals that I look forward to accomplishing in the next two years:

1. Eat at Masa.

Masa is a gourmet sushi restaurant in New York City. The restaurant was opened by Chef Masa Takayama in 2004 and is considered one of the most expensive restaurants in the world. The menu is Omakase (Chef’s choice) only and a dinner costs roughly $500 per person, not including tip, tax or drinks…

There is only one seating each for dinner and lunch. Reservations are taken three weeks in advance. Chef Masa prepares the menu himself, often including seasonal ingredients. He uses many exotic ingredients, such as truffles and Kobe beef. Most of the fish is flown in from Japan. Chef Masa can be seen working behind the bar and will sometimes serve the food as well.

2. Take my wife to the Maldives Rangali Island Resort.

The award-winning Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Resort is set on two private islands among miles of idyllic white-sand beach and pristine reef. Wendy and I will arrive at the hotel in style in a seaplane over the lagoon, then dine in the world’s first all-glass, undersea restaurant:

Twice voted ‘Best Hotel in the World’ the Maldives hotel boasts 21 fabulous spa water villas with private treatment rooms. Sounds like just what the doctor ordered, right?

3. Spend a month in Italy with my family.

Wendy has always wanted to visit Italy, and so this is a must. I think we will probably go in the summer, maybe even next summer! We will rent a beautiful, old farmhouse or villa, and spend the month swimming, hiking, and drinking wine:)

I can’t wait.

So? What are your goals?

I would love to know: Post a comment and share them!
