Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about goals, which is funny because if you know me, you’ll know I’m probably the last person who should be questioning them. I’ve always been someone who needs something difficult to work towards. Whether it was becoming profitable, passing funded challenges, growing a business, traveling on low budget or more recently starting completely new hobbies, I’ve always had something sitting on the horizon that made me excited to wake up the next morning.

You reach one destination, celebrate it for a moment and immediately start looking for the next mountain to climb. That’s how progress happens, right?
