I am glad you found the tip useful.
Am just finishing saying my goal now.
If you enjoy listening to motivational speakers, try YouTube for great free content.
For example, I found audiobook versions of Think and Grow Rich and Rich Dad Poor Dad via YouTube.
I also own copies each, but I found the YouTube versions useful when reading was inconvenient.
Your goal sounds like a good one.
Make it more specific over time and it will become your business plan.
@Brandon Sturgill is right.
There is a lot you can learn as you are working toward your goal.
The free UBG from @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner is terrific.
I suspect it will offer you ways to shorten the time to achieving your goal.
Good luck.
