Taking a stand "Think Big"

I've recently finished the book Take a Financial Leap by Pete Wargent which was a fantastic read and one I highly recommend to anyone wishing to start taking positive steps in their life to financial freedom and also just altering their mindset to becoming successfully financially. I have read Pete's previous two books and it was good to brush on some of the concepts again and review my investment plans and reassess my life goals.

In Chapter 7 the books discusses creating big goals and I've decided to complete the exercise and post it up publicly so I can be constantly reminded of what I am aiming to achieve in life.
