Goals: Long Term, Short Term
"We need a vision, to stand when mountains collide.
The choice is ours now. Who do we want to be?"
We've been having leadership training at church this week and last week, which has been v. v. good and Aiken's has been challenging us to write down our priorities and things we'd like to do and get done.
And what better place than the internet where people can scruitinize or encourage you? Yay.
Short Term (year goals)

Short Term (year goals)
- To do at least one great gig where we play for at least 1 hour.
- To go into the studio and make another CD - this time 8 songs.
- To sell around about 70 CD's (hopefully sell more though! I think we've sold about 90 of the first ones so far)
- To write at least 2 new songs which can be used in church and 5 new band songs by January from scratch (this will be the most variable goal because I can't just sit down and set aside time to write songs. It's random, unlike other things where you have to set aside time to plan and research to get stuff done).
- To get a 1st in my 2nd Year of Uni.
- To be a great placement student at Southmead, and to enjoy it.
- To get out of debt before I go into my final year of Uni.
- To get better on guitar.
- To get some new trainers.
- To get to a fitness level I'm happy with.
Long Term (5-10 year goals)
- To become a successful band. More in an influencial sense rather than in the revenue/sales sense. However, every band needs to be making money!
- To be a world class song writer/performer. (If I had to choose I'd much rather be successful at writing songs though - and experience is everything in this)
- To sign a record deal with a successful label.
- To make 1 or 2 album's within the next 5 years each with around 12 tracks.
- To tour Europe and hopefully America.
- To go on a short term mission trip to each of the 5 continents.
- To empower/encourage Christian's with our songs.
- To show non-Christian's that Christian music can be good - tough one!
- To keep my fitness at a level I'm happy with.
- To discover a new animal.
- To learn to fly.
