We want to do so many things before turning 30. These are the 30 goals that you must try to achieve before turning 30 as they will prepare you for your life.
Turning 30 is a significant milestone in everyone’s life as it opens the way to more opportunities and responsibilities at the same time. This is a chapter in your life where you have to be ready for new adventures. So, here are 30 goals that you need to accomplish before turning 30 to enrich your life.
It takes more than dedication to accomplish a difficult job or fulfil a responsibility. You must both grow up and learn at the same time. It’s always going to be your job to pursue your goals and achieve them. It provides you with pleasure and confidence if you do it yourself.
While your 20s are all about exploring, your 30s are all about creating a structure and following it. So, if you achieve these, you’ll have set a firm foundation for future financial independence.
Having a regular routine is the key. Now, following a routine allows you to achieve more in less time. A routine is always consistent and following it makes you stable. Think about it, humans prefer stability all the time, it keeps us grounded.
Habits always make or break anyone. If you have a set of good habits that you always follow to the tee, success will be yours because you follow them religiously. Make good habits your foundation, that will eventually keep you strong.
Also, always find ways to swap a bad habit with a good one; take one habit at a time. We all know building something strong takes time & effort. It isn’t easy but it’s worth it when you’re cast in a totally new light.
People usually have either a fixed mindset or a growth mindset.
While a fixed mindset stops when they face a challenge or reach their limits, a growth mindset motivates you to keep pushing past the limits as well as the challenges you face.
Make a growth mindset your priority, because it is the key factor for both personal & professional development.
We agree with the thought that there’s no age for learning and there are many books to read in the world.
A learner, more than anything else, is what you should strive to be. You’ve finished with formal schooling, so you must now seek out knowledge for yourself with books and utilise it.
Being thankful for the things that you have is a good practice. You should always try to remind yourself of the things that you’re grateful for. Despite knowing the facts when we’re fooling ourselves, gratitude forces us to acknowledge them and it helps spread positivity.
It’s up to you whether you use your 20s for professional or personal experimentation. But you must use it.
No other period in your life will provide you with the liberty and time to recover.
It’s highly important that you pick a side and you stand for it, to have opinions and stand by them, to have a belief system and strongly stand by it.
Educate yourself to understand everything which will only help you to make decisions like casting a vote. Having an opinion is having power.
There’s never a better time than now to start helping those in need and there are a lot of such people. If you’re passionate about helping such people then make it your mantra for every day and do it repeatedly. Nothing can make you happier than helping someone and seeing them smile.
Everyone has a sense of pride, especially teenagers. But, by the time you’re 30, you must realise that you have been learning so much and there’s still so much to learn. Let nothing dent your pride and start practising humility.
You might need a loan for your first car, but make sure it’s been paid off in your 30s. Use your old clunker of a car until you’ve reached that point where you can buy a debt-free car, thanks to your professional success.
It may not be completely practical, but it is still a huge milestone that will definitely help in building and managing wealth. Being a working professional is what makes you money and that money will help you get your right home.
In your 30s, you should have direction and be well on the way to establishing a reputation as a leader in your field professionally.
You must start building the blocks in your 30s and living enjoyably. You can do that when you have a partner with you, who takes care of you. It’s not always so, but you’ve gotta work on this goal as well.
Someone who provides guidance and support is known as a mentor. Learning is more enjoyable when you do it with others. Spend time with someone one or two steps ahead of you. Ask them about their experiences so that you can learn from them.
There is a lot of money to be made in the stock market. You should have at least one investment, no matter how little money you have.
There’s nothing in the market that’s making people look at it and get knowledge about it like cryptocurrency. You’re missing out on a lot if you’re missing it out. Learn about crypto and allocate in such a way that you achieve whatever you want to, even when the value goes down to zero.
Attempting to achieve something outside of high school, whether it be college, certification, a class, or even a skills test, is what you should have done. Always keep your mind and yourself open to learning as much as you can.
You’re lagging behind if you’re not learning and moving forward.
If you feel like you have been working hard to reach the next level, then it is important to request a raise in order to move forward. It is really important to know the value you offer and the worth of your skills.
Before you approach your boss for a higher salary, do your research and compile a list of your achievements.
Having an extra revenue stream is important.
People used to work one job for 40 years, then retire.
The second stream of income is becoming almost essential in these times.
Take a journey to see the world around you in a new light. It’s an exciting adventure! Go for a drive, if you feel like it. But, just make sure to enjoy your journey.
You must have created a story or two that you keep repeating for everyone. Why not make those stories into real ones with an adventure with friends or family? Go on a trekking trip, rafting or paragliding if you want to, do it for yourself because there are no limits for you.
If you have taken a loan, unlike a student or a house loan, pay it off as early as possible. You must make sure that in your 30s you should have repaid them or made arrangements for doing the same. The sooner it is off your list, the happier you will be.
You should strive for your 30s to be your peak physical health. You start building the foundation of strong health in your 20s and you can easily spend your life benefitting from those efforts. Avoiding physical illness is always crucial.
Planning is necessary if you desire to obtain in shape, which we all do. You have to create a plan and stick to it, but be ready to change if necessary. Having strong health even in your 80s requires discipline and planning.
It’s sad if you haven’t learned how to cook a few dishes in your 30s. Your health is your priority but it is important to experience the joy of cooking especially when you know that you’ll be mindful of what your body needs. It is joyous to cook your own meals your way.
Having sound mental health is a necessity. Taking care of your mental health in your 20s sets a good foundation for the rest of your life, just as taking care of your physical health does.
There is no reason to hesitate to go to see and discuss your thoughts with a counsellor.
Spending an evening alone shows how comfortable you are with yourself. You’re free to eat out, go to the movies, or take a class. Make sure to be with you and enjoy every bit of it.
Having explored yourself in your 20s, you now have the chance to direct and purpose your exploring towards something outside that’s worth your while.
In your 30s, you should have a plan and re-look at that plan about what you want for your future. Because, everything in this world changes, even purposes.
Most of us build our networks when we’re young, later it just needs to be maintained. A network is a system of interconnected people, it’s also a two-way street. You need to seek those people out who enrich your life by being in it while you enrich theirs in return. It’s a win-win scenario.
Having a strong and supportive network is important, but having an inner circle of engaged, like-minded individuals is just as crucial and perhaps more so, because:
They are honest.
They root for you even when you don’t.
They listen to you and know when to support you and when to say no.
It is your responsibility to seek out those lifelong friends.
Regardless of where you are today, and especially if you are in your 30s, this list must be nothing less than a challenge. You are responsible for achieving the results you want.
It is always you!
