PhloyBoy Maloy's "I Ain't Scared" Goals
Well, here I go...committing my 90-day goals to an Internet blog for the world to see. What am I thinking? Oh well, I ain't scared remember?!
Financial
--Start an Internet business with Jessica - to be online and ready to generate revenue by the end of the 90-days...or sooner if possible.
Health/Physical
--Get more sleep as defined by going to bed every night by the end of the 90-days, at or earlier than 11:00 pm.
--Adhere to exercise program 3 times per week, every week
--Walk 2 miles everyday - bad primary/major joints precludes me from running so this is the next best thing.
Spiritual
--Read scriptures & pray everyday
--Stay current with Priesthood lesson
--Complete my Duty to God requirements for Priest
--Take notes during all sessions of April General Conference
Mental/Intellectual
--Study for and pass the initial ham radio license exam - called the Technician Class license - exams are given every 3rd week of each month so the goal is to prepare and take the exam the 3rd week of April...or whenever the test is in April.

By the way, "Imagination is better than knowledge" so said Albert Einstein. I guess these goals are an incarnation of our imagination and it is simply our job to make them a reality.
Forward hoe then and on to success and greatness!!!

Ashley's goals
Here are my goals:
Personal: 1. Sing a duet in public. I have never done this and the thought of it scares me. But I have committed to doing it in a little over a week! 2. Take a self-portrait every day for a year. Crazy, but I'm excited about it. It will be good for improving my photography skills and allowing me a little time each day to be creative.
Physical: Work out 3x a week. Not a big deal to most people, but school seriously takes over my life and it's difficult to find time to do much else. ETA: Go to bed between 11 and 11:30 every week night (unless I have a huge paper pending...I have to give myself a little room here).
Financial: As a couple Wendel and I are going to set aside money each month to build up our food storage.
Spiritual: 1. Read the Book of Mormon in the 90 days. 2. Read another uplifting book by a General Authority.
Intellectual: Get A+s or A-s this quarter again.
They are pretty simple, but with school I don't want to go too crazy.
Also, I made this little book to keep track of my progress. I thought it would be fun to write about the steps I'm taking to complete my goals and have a little record of it when I'm finished.
I am focusing on the word balance this year as you can see from my title page. I didn't do such a great job of it last quarter so I'm trying again.
I'm excited to see everyone's goals.

Wendelicious: War Eagle
Saddle up and ride. Let's get fired up.
Physical: Prepare for and run the 1/2 Marathon in Tacoma. My neighbor, Darnell, and I are also gonna hit the weights. A bit. When we can.
Mental: This largely lies in the space of "phase shifting" my schedule. By moving my schedule up, I will be able to do quite a few things:
Personal: In my newly found time, I want to read a great Russian Classic in its native tongue. I have chosen Anna Karenina.
Business/Financial: Become Amazon's CEO. - or - Get our food storage situation well under way to being under control. Hedge against the pending doom.
Spiritual: Not quite sure how to quantify this, but I want to be a more impactful teacher in my Sunday School class. I want them to prefer me over muffins.
Status. So far, everybody wants muffins. I have, however, cleaned out sufficient space in my garage to fire up the old workout bench. I rode the bus once this week, and I can tell it will likely be my hardest goal to accomplish.
Tolstoy, you got nothing on me.

- Develop a facebook app, possibly for use with my Sunday School class
- Read Anna Karenina in Russian (this happens to be my big personal goal also)
- Other stuff I'm forgetting

Chad's Goals!! Woot!
Okay, everyone. Chad here. Here's my goals. Is it weird to say that I missed hanging out with all of you this week? Probably. Can't wait to see you all again on the 26th.
~Physical: BIG GOAL - lose 15 pounds
OTHER GOALS - detox for 10 days, gym/exercise at least 5 days a week, for last 30 of the 90 days exercise AM & PM, take better care of myself (with sleep, floss more often [you guys inspired me], my general appearance, clothes, etc.). I've also decided that when I lose my 15 pounds, I'm going to reward myself by taking Heather out to get his/her iPhones. If you see me with an iPhone, and I'm still this fat, I give all of you permission to punch me in the face for wussing out.
~Mental: BIG GOAL - learn 500 new things, and track them daily in my knowledge journal
OTHER GOALS - schedule my days better so that I can spend more time learning stuff
~Business/Financial: BIG GOAL - Pay off all debt (except for our house).
OTHER GOALS - get massive raises (at least 50% more) from all clients, become proficient at three new major software packages (Logic Pro [a digital audio recording studio], Painter [the most sophisticated digital painting program in the world], and Maya [the most high end 3D software program out there - it's what they used to make Gollum and Spiderman]), make plans to get certified in Logic Pro, work with Heather to regulate and minimize expenses, record and release two of my own training DVDs, record three new video training DVDs for other companies, get two new book contracts, and write one of the books.
~Spiritual: BIG GOAL - Memorize First Nephi
OTHER GOALS - Seek greater revelations through more intense daily personal study and more focused prayer, write a new entry in my Book of Mormon journal at least once a week, spend more time meditating about how to help youth.
~Personal: BIG GOAL - Create my first animated short film!
OTHER GOALS - Meditate 15 minutes daily, attend a RCRG rollerderby bout with Heather, finish recording my President Hinckley song, write another new song, no more houseguests! (during the 90 days), on Guitar Hero III beat "Through the Fire and Flames" on Hard.
Status: So far, in just preparing for goals, I've had much success. I've finished memorizing the first chapter of 1 Nephi, and I'm almost half way through chapter 2. That's ahead of schedule, and it's starting to get easier. I've also started charging more for my work, and it's going really well. I also got my first professional award for my training. I'm so excited to get started on the 90 day goals! February 4th- HUZZAH! Take care everybody. Can't wait to get motivated by reading your goals. -Chad

Mt. Everest or Floss
So, hey everybody! Chad and Heather Perkins here. Welcome to your blog! Here you can post progress, ideas for goals, thoughts about goals, ask others in the team for help, or just check in to get inspired by others' progress.
Heather and I continue to enjoy our meetings together. We had such a great time last night. We feel so fortunate to have this association with you. It seems like many of you also benefited from hearing everyone's goals and ideas.
We know it ran a little long, but that's just the nature of the beast. There won't be any other meetings that even come close to being that long. From now on, we'll be mostly communicating via e-mail, this blog, or very short meetings.
That being said, our next meeting on the 26th will be to pick partners (any ideas how to do that? Maybe draw same-gender names out of a hat? Perhaps pair people up by schedule? E.g. Heather and I might be the only people to stay up late enough to call the Schultz'! Ha! Just kidding.) At that meeting, we may also want to get a more concrete, definite group goal. I think the whole meeting should take less than a half hour.
Everyone is also welcome to stay after for some video games (Wii and Guitar Hero). For those that are interested in staying after, would you also be interested in bringing a dish and making a little party out of it? It might be fun to just play around with everyone a little before we start this thing in February. We have some Wii games that really bring out the silly little kid in you. Should be loads of fun. But FEEL FREE to come to the brief goal meeting and leave afterwards, if you'd like. Let us know what you think. Talk to you all soon - The Perkins
