“My Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal of 2012 is to do less—to be more focused on the most important things.” —@GrammarGirl

“I dreamt up [my #BHAG2012] on New Years Eve & grabbed my journal—the ideas were free flowing.” —@CreativeCookie

“I wasn’t using my energy efficiently in 2011. I need to regularly get into the vision zone for 2012.” — @BusyBeaverCC

“I won’t pursue my frivolous interests this year, but will give myself treats related to my frivolous goals for being so practical.” —@GrammarGirl

“My #BHAG2012 is to develop a craft incubator in my community.”—@wunderaround

“A SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses/Limitations, Opportunities and Threats involved in a business venture.” —@diybusiness

“Baby steps! Imagine your BHAG. Write down all the things that it will take to get there. Start doing them. It won’t go perfectly.” —@BusyBeaverCC

“I believe in breaking things down to the most doable pieces. Want to travel the world? First, you need a passport.” —@GraceDobushToGo

“Most of my #BHAG2012 relates to how I run my business—rather than things my business does. Anyone experiencing that?”—@karichapin

“Accountability buddies help me! Tell them what and when you want to have things done; have them hold you accountable.”—@BusyBeaverCC

“When I taught journalism, I had my students write their five-year-in-the future resumes.” —@k_tighe
