Goals

How would my 100 year old self look back on my decisions?

What would he like my principles to be, for the rest of my life?

My grandfather died saying he had a fantastic life. I want to look back when I’m about to die and tell my grandchildren I had a fantastic life.

So what is a fantastic life?

A fantastic life is one that brings me closer to my goals, and helps me live according to my principles.

The Goals are what you're reading below.

The Principles are here.


List of 10 goals:

(1) At the end of the line, I can say we had a fantastic life, because we made each and every day into a fantastic day. A fantastic day is a day which brings us closer to our goals. A fantastic life is one full of fulfilment, living in a peak state.

(2) We are a great family. If anything is worth to be the 1% off, it's probably to be in the 1% greatest families. Children can be challenging, but ours put us on a fantastic journey. Babies are fantastic. Fatherhood is amazing. New adventure arises everywhere. We will manage to launch a fantastic family business.

(3) We will build an online business, focused on helping people, and re-invest in an offline business, a lifestyle or technology business embracing fun and adventure. A lifestyle brand, like fashion or hospitality or travel.

(4) We surround ourselves with great friends, great people and great mentors. In our professional and personal lives.

(5) I leave the world a place every day, by small like things like putting a smile on someone's face, or big things like helping adults or children to read or to program. I want to reach 1 billion people to leave the world a better place.

(6) 2 million euros should be sufficient to lead a comfortable life! Anything more is great to make a massive impact to improve the world.

(7) A Fit and healthy life: kitesurfing, running, sailing, horseback riding, white water kayaking, skiing, ... and physical challenges, for example skiing the Haute Route.

(8) I will publish a semi-biographical novel. Semi-biographical because you have to salt it a little to keep it interesting ;)

(9) A nomadic lifestyle, moving to a new, adventureous place every 3 to 5 years, while keeping a simple, thoughtful base place to live in Europe. Travelling around the globe with my family for our brands.

(10) We are forever young!
