Yearly Goals

"If I had a dollar for everytime I said that...I'd be making money in a very weird way." -- Mitch Hedberg

Every year I give $1 to anyone who challenges themselves to achieve something by the end of the year.

Here's how it works:

Think of a goal
Fill out this form (signups closed for 2026!)
Chat with me to loosely confirm your goal is SMART
Do it... make your dreams come true
If you don't, you don't get the prize

That's it. Easy peasy. Do something fun, learn, grow and win a small prize.

The deadline to confirm your goals is January 21st, 2026.

Don't know what a good goal is? Check out the participants from previous years.
