10 Year Goals
One goal that I am focused on in my professional life is to lead my own creative team. I want to have an office with an odd number of people. I want to be a leader of like-minded creative people that can bounce ideas, techniques, and advance in our career. I would want each person to control their own department so that they have a feel of control and purpose rather than just being a random on a team. I would still love to design as well as direct the team. I would love to be the glue that holds it together. Not be the center of attention, but to be able to run it.
Year 1: Create with other creatives
I think it's pivotal that for me to be able to earn my professional Goal of having my own office and creative team. Working with others can help me understand the needs of creatives and how I can start developing relationships that will help me as a leader and be more effective. This is an image of me creating a short film with my college friends. We do it to improve our skills and creatively express ourselves.
Year 5: Assembling my group
I should have my group of creative friends that I've known professionally and personally. I think a select few of the people in my creative friend group can go on and make their own team. I then think a smaller percentage of these friends can join me and my creative team.
Year 10: Open Up Shop
I should have this creative team with on-board and in an office, or whatever VR office we have in the future. I think by this time I will be very mature and ready to handle a group of people.
10 Year Goals
In my personal life, I want to travel to Alaska and own a small cabin there. I love the cold and that seems like the most realistic place I can own to have little vacations at. I've always wanted to go there and owning a little house there sounds so cool to me.
Year 1: Travel to Alaska
I can take a plane to Alaska and visit. This can be my introduction to the state and make me even more mentally invested.
Year 5: Invest My Interest
I can have another Alaska trip and start looking into property, businesses, and other possible ventures.
Year 10: Purchase that cabin!
I want to have a property in Alaska. I think like once a year, it would be very good for me mentally to escape the real world for a weekend and be in nature. I know there are other places I can go, which I will, but I think having that outlet is good for me to clear my head, especially if it's as extreme as living in Alaska for a few days a year.
