For a lot of people, making big goals can be intimidating, because you usually can’t accomplish big goals in a single day, or week or month. Sometimes it takes years to accomplish big goals! But we’re going to spend a lot of time talking about how to break big goals down into smaller, bite-size, manageable work-chunks, so in the meantime, ignore the “how am I going to do this?” and focus on the “what do I want to do?” Give yourself permission to dream big.
What are your goals?
I loved this article man. And I echo your goals to the t.
Aaah, that was so good! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU (okay I’ll stop the caps lock spam) but THANK YOU for writing this Stephen. Very useful and/or applicable.
Thanks man! I’M GLAD YOU LIKED IT! ha ha.
Awesome! REALLY looking forward to the next one. Love it
I resonated with the thought that your goals need to be grounded in a world view that includes tangible (truth) and practical (family) ideas.
This is absolutely brilliant. When you’re a famous Graphic Artist, I promise to help construct the Ice Cream Castle. Norway seems like a good area for that sort of thing.
Ha ha, thanks dude! Let’s do it.
Maybe you could hook up with these guys to do it:

Sincerely motivational stuff, I feel so lucky that people like you are around to show there really is a way forward for those of us just starting out. Thanks so much!
Oh hey robin! Yeah, I saw this off making comics too! I think it’s great because it resonates with all types of artists. Really endearing and smart. Clever layouts too, love how u animate ur background.
I think this is the fourth or fifth comment I’ve made in a row (just discovered doodle alley today) but I had to respond to this one: THIS IS MY LIFE. Perfectly said. Knowing what you want is a powerful thing…making actual goals is even harder, but the only way the big, but not impossible ones will ever happen!
Going through these blogposts one at a time, and I must say I like each one so far.
