Personal Goal Setting : Working on my 5-10 year plan

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

I have been talking about writing out my personal goals for the next 5-10 years for the past couple of weeks. Not knowing where to start, I headed to the internet to help me on how to get started.
Below are some great examples to begin the brainstorming process. I'm going to select one or more goals in each category that best reflect what I want to do.

I know that I have to be S.M.A.R.T. about my goals.

• S - Specific (or Significant).
• M - Measurable (or Meaningful).
• A - Attainable (or Action-Oriented).
• R - Relevant (or Rewarding).
• T - Time-bound (or Trackable).
