Do you guys set Goals? I know this guy personally...
 

I wish I could accomplish 20% from his list in my lifetime.
20 minutes with him and you will feel like you haven't accomplished nothing. :Oh crap

John Goddard is most known for his amazing ?Life List? of accomplishments. At the age of fifteen John Goddard listed 127 goals he wished to experience or achieve in his lifetime. The list is impressive and audacious, but the results have been truly incredible.

His accomplishments here

I have my own list and i'm half way there

That's awesome Bako, You can do it!!!

type 50 words a minute - check :)

#128 - Put up some pictures on my website.

Holy crap on a cross.

Missed the dragons by 20 miles and a broken boat, ouch.
After reading all I had already, when I saw Ham radio operator unchecked I had an akward moment. Figured that one would of been a no brainer, fairly easy, and possibly a very good idea with all of his other adventures.

Lets hope he does not put to much pressure on his kids. It would be like saying "I'm board, there is nothing to do" would be like cursing.

Thanks Dave, I have something that might interest you, hit me up on monday lets talk :pimp

When you're married with two children, a mortgage and workin' two jobs - goals tend to be rather different. :1orglaugh

lesson learned

make mad monies = live happy & free


thats a pretty impressive checklist, good luck knockin off that moonlanding! other than that it looks like most of what's left unchecked he'll probably wrap off...

So true, that's what I asked him. I said, when did you see your family and how did you afford all these Ventures. He said he worked hard, saved money and just made them happen.

Go Figure.

He's 15 and has 6 children?

wat.

He started his list when he was 15. :1orglaugh

I type 70. Am I there yet???

Gotta hand it to him

And it seems like only yesterday you guys were paying me $25 per signup to spam remove lists for you.

John Goddard is a lying fucking assbag. Explore my cock from "source to mouth" you little cocksucker.

Except for his "accomplish" list, those are basically just travelling.
Of the others, you could do at least one a day.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh idiot

199: watch all of pornhub

He forgot this goal: After getting married and having six kids...dump that used up woman when she reaches 40 and marry a 20 year old.

D'Oh! That makes more sense. :1orglaugh

You are the idiot that changed his name so people dont think its the same moron:1orglaugh

goals are much more easily reached when you have lots of money kicking around.

lists are good
I have a "lifetime goals" list, a list of my long term and short term business goals, and a weekly list of things to do to around the house, and business wise

Nice list... I don't have a list written out, but I have list... I have covered most of everything I have wanted to do, up to this point.

A few skills I'm waiting to close, like fencing, but I'm in no rush.

My world travel / living adventures starts in roughly 2 years. We have two boys and plan on doing it with them.

The final goal is to pay for this adventure while living the adventure.

pretty impressive list :thumbsup

Nice stuff ...very inspiring! :thumbsup

Sharing it with family is the way to go. :thumbsup

It's mostly travel... such easy tasks LOL.

reads like a list a 13 year old boy would make.

Ha, I did two things he hasn't:

Explore: Orinoco River, Venezuela
Explore: Yangtze River, China

What an incredible list!!!!!

1-72 is just traveling and thats fucking easy.
Very few of those are impressive imo, if you cut out watching tv and other useless shit you could learn/do all that easily.
Making a list seems less fun than just going out and doing what you find interesting at that moment.

That's a great start. :thumbsup

He knew what he wanted to accomplish as a kid then just stuck to them. I'm like you. If I want to get up and go somewhere at that moment, I just make it happen. But if you see some of the places he's been. You need to plan them. I read his book, pretty amazing with some of the Villages he has stayed at and how he barely survived through some of his journeys.

It's absolutely 100% truth: If you do just two things, you will succeed. Every self-help guru out there (and there are some fantastic ones) tells the same message, just presented in slightly differant ways. The two things:

1. Mental focus
2. Consistent action

Both take a lot of work and sometimes a person doesn't do these things in tandem until their back is against the wall, like me. LOL I went from knowing ZERO about the Internet, HTML or anything 3 years ago to having my own network now, with over 16 websites I built by hand. It's amazing to me still, to slow down for a second and look back on what a person of so-so intelligence (me) can do if they just FOCUS and perform CONSISTENT (and never-ending) ACTION.

Set a Goal beforehand, and re-adjust while on the journey? Recipe for a successful, enjoyable life. Goals rock.

:D

Worked hard. Doing what?

You might be able to classify exploring as "just traveling" but exploring the Nile, or the Congo, or the Amazon I would interpret as a little more than hitting Lake Havasu on Spring Break to check the Colorado River off the list. :)

Maybe not, but to climb all those mountains? Your definition of "just traveling" and mine are very different.

I had to Google this guy, found this on wiki:

That is a little more than just travel. He came from money. No other way unless he was printing it himself. :2 cents:

I make lists to set goals and define accomplishments and paths all the time and seriously visit my lists twice a year -- on my birthday and at the New Year.

I have a friend of mine that is like this. He is a retired fire fighter (but still works when wild fires are in the area), retired college professor, teaches high school, has eight kids, works as a carpenter, backhoe driver on weekends... Certified EMT. The list goes on...

There is nothing this guy cannot do... He also doesn't drink or smoke...

Basically if it isn't in the bible or the Good Farmer's Almanac he doesn't do it.

WOW that's impressive and inspiring!

I have a list of places I'd like to travel to, and I am always adding to the list. I have done almost everything in the USA I've wanted to do except the Redwood Forest and the Grand Canyon but never been abroad yet!

I'm also a compulsive list maker and when I go through my old notebooks I find tons of "1 year, 5 year and 10 year goals" type of lists.. it's funny how what I considered to be important just a few years ago now aren't a big deal (but surprisingly, I had accomplished most of the goals I had set for myself, in a round about way!)

Right now my website is almost nearing a year old, and i am really unsure what kind of specific goals to set for my site as far as # of members, affiliates, $ made or traffic is concerned, because I'm not sure who I should be comparing my site to and who's advice I can trust to be 100% accurate (everyone's site is making tons of $ first month out of the gate and "converting like mad!" right?)
So of course I have GOALS for my site for the next couple of years, such as always gaining members month to month, keeping way ahead of my content, keeping on top of member interaction, stuff like that.. but as far as specific #'s are concerned, not so much

Yeah, I would say it's a little more than travel. But no, he didn't come from Money.

He was a Motivational speaker all over the place. Started out very young at it then spoke in front of thousands.

Ah, so he retired early and did all this stuff after the kids moved out.

That makes sense then.

The list is probably BS. He wrote it over the years, but certainly not when he was 15 and out of the blue.
Either he did not write it when he was 15, or he spent weeks doing research.
There is no way ANY 15 year old would know who all of these people are "Shakespeare, Plato, Aristotle, Dickens, Thoreau, Rousseau, Conrad, Hemingway, Twain, Burroughs, Talmage, Tolstoi, Longfellow, Keats, Poe, Bacon, Whittier, and Emerson, Bach, Beethoven, Debussy, Ibert, Mendelssohn, Lalo, Liszt, Rimski-Korsakov, Respighi, Rachmaninoff, Paganini, Stravinsky, Toch, Tschaikosvsky, Verdi" or know about all those lakes, rivers, and mountains he listed.

Unless you have accomplished more then he did, give the guy some credit. 15 or not, still a good list.
