Side note: My tenth priority in 2013 had been to get on TV and it played out because I dared myself to make it happen. That dare was my game changer.Now, let me explain what I mean by crazy stuff further in terms of real goals.On my end, I have a couple of options with how Id like 2015 to play out.  The year can be ordinary if thats my standard or it can be extraordinary if I prefer.Lets think about these options in terms of YOUR 2015 aspirations.This is what an ordinary year may look like for you.You earn 100% of your bonus doing your job just like you did in 2014.You have the opportunity to manage a bigger PL.You get to travel to Brazil or China on your employers dime.All these accomplishments are impressive absolutely!However, what if you had an extraordinary 2015?This is what that can look like.You join your firms incubator arm and operate as its CEO who is in charge of the user experience of a nascent enterprise solution.You buy a vineyard in California and start working on your first vintage of Pinot Noir and work through your fourth.You turn a sweet, gooey, delicious truffle-like treat, a  brigadeiro, into an ecommerce sensation and open up your first retail location in Soho within NYC.Catch my drift?DARE #12: Add some crazy stuff to your 2015 roadmap [DARE #12] Get Unstuck â€" Crazy stuff Last week was about thinking through what you want out of 2015 and creating a roadmap.This week is about tweaking your plan in a meaningful way.Heres the background:On Saturday, I ventured out to NYC to think through my business priorities.It was easy to map out run-of-the-mill business activities and truthfully thats where I started.However, in an effort to push the envelope, I added a tenth priority within my own 2015 roadmap that I entitled: Crazy stuff.
