I’m one who does a lot of preaching. My friends/family/associates say I’m pretty motivational, and have great ideas. However, as of yet I have not made my major goals in life come true…I’m only 22, but that’s no excuse. My latest goals:

So, I thought I’d start a little social experiment. How you can help: Keep me accountable. If I say I’m going to do something, call me names and make me feel bad if I don’t (until I do). 
I know, I know…I should keep myself accountable on all points. However, part of the social experiment is to see how people pushing at me may affect my motivation.
So, what do you guys think? Help me out? I’d love your help. (My family is in on it too, btw…)
Also, I encourage you ALL to get in on this. Set goals for yourself in this thread, and lets work at helping each other meet them.
By the way, I’ve posted this on my website as well. http://lorrenbiffin.com/2008/08/08/my-social-experiment-goals/
