2	1	Generate Income with Flexibility & Diversification	Develop ways to earn adequate and stable income in 2018.	Using design tools I will identify an ideal target income to achieve by the end of 2018 and a target cashflow to aim for afterwards. This income must be sufficiently diversified to assure resilience in the event of the loss of one income stream, which suggests finding sources of both active and passive income.	Income, and diversification are trackable.	Yes! My skills and I are marketable and I already have emerging opportunities. My focus therefore needs to be on cultivating the opportunities and marketing a specific suite of services to the right clients.	Very. Earning a livelihood is not only necessary for survival, but will demonstrate that the ideas I promote are viable. In other words, my success will serve as an indicator that ecosocial practices are valued by society.	Define targets and measure income producing activities starting 1/1/18. Review quarterly and adjust based on evidence to reach or modify year-end goal.	Earned aproximately $30,000 from a combination of life-coaching, organizational development consulting, facilitation, and short-term property rental. A meager (compared to my former income) but adequate income from a variety of sources.	The trend continues about the same.	Income has continued steady and I was able to pay for most of my capstone studies using income generated from ecosocial design work
3	2	Stay in Field	Work must be related to my field of study.	Ecosocial projects ranging from individual life coaching to broad systems design projects, including education.	Qualitative: Does it feel right? Does it promote or detract from the principles of Earth Care, People Care, Fair Share?	Let's find out!	This goal is central to my life.	As of 1/1/18 I will not accept work opportunities that do not contribute directly to this path.	All of my paid work was from ecosocial design projects. Even my Airbnb income comes from a house I restored using ecosocial design principles.	The trend continues about the same.	Success! I am only engaged iin ESD work.
4	3	Maintain Impact Alignment	Work must be aligned with the impact I seek to create	It promotes either individual development towards autonomy and alignment, group (organizational) development towards equity, or regenerative design practices. Impact of work and my purpose must align as per the ethics of “right livelihood.”	Yes, but I need to find or develop an evaluation process for vetting projects.	Yes, it is merely a question of deciding.	Yes, by definition.	As of 1/1/18 I will have defined criteria for vetting projects and I will apply them.	By meeting goal #2 I've been able to stay in my field. As a consequence i have a number of real-world case studies that have deepend my ecosocial design praxis.	Same.	Same
5	4	Design a Marketing Profile	Define my position in the marketplace and create appropriate marketing materials.	Identify main skillflexes to promote; create branding, website, social media presence, business cards.	Do I know what I’m promoting? Have these materials been created?	Yes, I just have to do it.	Extremely. Without these I am unlikely to reach my audience.	The decision of where to focus my efforts will be completed as part of this OP. The creation of the materials will form part of my next OP.	Mixed. I am still evolving a sense of how best to position myself. Along the way I’ve had excellent projects including a number of personal coaching clients, ongoing organizational consulting, and some program development projects including the design and launch of a new ecosocial design course. Each has had it's own marketing associated with it, but I have yet to create a comprehensive marketing plan.	Same.	I have a strong sense of next steps and where to focus my efforts. Marketing materials are in process and my messaging is becoming focused.
6	5	Finish School	Number of hours spent on work versus hours spent on school will provide one metric. Ability to hit LIPD timeline goals provides another.		Can I establish a regular cadence for school projects?	There is likely to be a delicate balance between reaching income goals and reaching school milestones. Tracking these, being open to adjusting expectations in one or both areas, and working in scrums are all strategies to achieving this goal.	Yes, this goal is central to my overall life and career goals. Without this degree it will be more difficult to achieve all that I want.	Yes. Current goal is to finish my M.Sc. by the end of 2018. I am not currently on track to do so, but my Gaia University skillflexes are improving and I'm developing strategies to accelerate my processes.	Catastrophe! I mean that humorously. Even though I’m a year behind – having barely managed to complete my pre-capstone phase in 2018 – the work/school balance has been excellent and learning cannot be rushed!	My intention is to complete my degree work by December of this year. I am on track to accomplish this.	I am finished! Goal accomplished only one month behind schedule. Great achievement
