What’s your BHAG?
Posted by Jonathan Hilley · Topics: TAG · 17 Comments
BHAG stands for Big Hairy Audacious Goal. As opposed to the traditional “I’m going to exercise more next year” goal, a BHAG is meant to be a visionary goal…a clear and compelling statement about what you want to accomplish in your personal life or in business. For example, Twitter’s BHAG is to become the “pulse of the planet.”
With that as a backdrop, it’s high time TAG put its stake in the ground and defined its 2010 goal and “the BHAG.”
TAG’s 2010 goal: to manage 1,000 student relationships.
TAG’s BHAG: to become the content provider for every mentorship program in the United States.
What do you think? What’s your BHAG for 2010 and beyond? Let me know!
P.S. Have a happy and healthy New Year!

Remember what Don Johnson was like? Cool. That's how we're gonna be -- cool. Critical is fine, but if you're rude, we'll delete your stuff. Please do not put your URL in the comment text and please use your PERSONAL name or initials and not your business name, as the latter comes off like spam. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation! (Thanks to Tim Ferriss for the inspiration)

I'm hoping to find a better balance between my work and my personal life. If I could commit to one “date night” per week with my wife, life would be much better all around (I'm a bit of a workaholic). That's my BHAG.

To relax. Definitely a BHAG. Easier goals- to hug my fam daily, to plan a new entrance (including driveway) to my house, to go snowboarding in Feb without any major bumps/bruises, and to eat a little less chocolate.
