I’m sure we all ask ourselves this question: where do I see myself in 10 years? I always had this vision of where I was going to be at this point of my life. And quite frankly, I’m not at that point. Though, the reason why I’m asking myself this is the fact that I question if this online entrepreneurship is something I will be able to do for most of my life or is it just another job that may not last forever?
If you think about it, nothing is guaranteed when it comes to any job or life in general. I mean, who would’ve thought within the past few months hundreds of thousands of people would get laid off and all these businesses going right down the drain.
See, it’s just the same when you’re working for yourself online. One month you could make thousands and the next month it can all go away with just a snap of the fingers. No matter how much you make consistently each month, that following month is never guaranteed.
So, Where do I see myself in 10 years?
For me, each year changes especially the fact that I’m a go-with-the-flow type of person. But if I had a vision, it’d be something like…
10 years from now I hope will be out of my day job, I have paid all my student loans back and I’m working and enjoying what I do online. Of course, the reasons we all want to work for ourselves is the luxury of being your own boss, the flexibility with your own schedule, etc. I want to be able to travel with just my laptop and still be able to make money anywhere I go.
Who doesn’t want to just relax in Hawaii on a beach with your laptop and a mojito?
See, I have all these thoughts and dreams on where I see myself every few years and although it may not happen exactly how I want, I’m still working on it. I make a list and every time I accomplish a goal, I cross it off and add a new one.
I do that because I don’t want to settle for less, but more importantly, I don’t want to forget some of my goals.
Again, some goals change but the general theme tends to stay the same. I may not see myself making millions but if I’m at a job that I can enjoy and appreciate then that’s a stepping stone. I may not see myself married but if I’m with a special person then you’ll continue to see a cheesy smile on my face. I may… well, you get the point, right?
If you haven’t though about where you see yourself in 10 years, you should at least think about it, talk to a friend, do whatever. Because when it comes down to it, you have to think do the future at some point.
I mean, do you plan on making money online for the rest of your life?
If so, let me know!
Kinda of so so. I do want to make lots of money online, and in 10 years I wish to see myself with all smiles as I have complete most of my goals, and have lived a full and fun life, when you look at it, I do see myself making tons of money online, but not as much with my dream job
So here’s to it, when it comes around! And I wish you good luck as well!

I am working online from 1 year because of this credit crisis But now I don’t want to do it for 10 years . After 10 years I would like to have some creative job
That’s a good question. As cliche as it might sound, I don’t really define where I’ll be by making money. In ten years, I plan on continuing to be the devoted husband that I am, and I plan on being a father who is involved in his children’s life above all. Career wise, I plan on being a teacher, for after all, that is what I’ve worked hard to do, and to continue to diversify my earnings by working online.
It’s good to ask that question though to yourself, as it helps in the planning and development of goals. Nice post.

A nice question. Infact I never plan anything… I better just go with the flow too and adapt to what’s coming and deal with everything. Thats the best way IMO. As many do not happen as planned.

In 10 years, I’ll be a multimillionaire with my blog. I will be able to support my parents after all those years they have been supporting me. This is a very motivational post, and I think everyone needs to write their own post about where they see themselves in 10 years.

I will try to work for global climate. Because NASA says that we have 10 years to take action on global warming and avert cataclysm.
I think I’ll live near ocean somewhere where the water is very blue and the sun shine all year long.

Well you need to have some sense of direction in your life. I mean it’s all nice to work a dead-end job for some time when you’re in your early 20s but if you plan on keeping that job for the rest of your life you should seriously reevaluate your goals. The same is true with anything – there’s no shame in doing some pointless stuff for a while but if it’s your ultimate goal in life there’s something wrong.
Retired on a beach with fruity drinks. I probably be doing the same thing out of pure love.

Well I’ll hopefully be in a Software Programming job, although it would be real nice to just work on my websites all the time!
This is a very lucrative source of income but I don’t want to be stuck working at home (getting fatter) in my PJs. This industry is very volatile and constantly changing. If I have my way, I’ll put up a small deli in the future and enjoy a peaceful with my future family.
I don’t think I could work online forever, although the internet will be the future. I think it’s really hard to imagine yourself in ten years, because it seems so long away. I think it’s really important to have goals and you’re right, we do have to look to the future at some point.. why not plan ahead?
I think to enjoying what you do is the most important thing.
Vision is an ever-present, dynamic and evolving function of human consciousness. When many people today think of improving themselves, they speak of changing or removing their limiting beliefs, self-talk or mental images.
maybe next 10 years, i am an electrical engineer
and i am doing blogging too.
