Commence the PPOR build and hopefully finish it by December
Obtain planning permits for 2 x 10 apartment sites
Less time consulting (minimal in fact), more time with family & friends

Coota, you sound like a great dad. My plans for 2015 are:
1. Be a research assistant for one of my children at uni doing law/arts;
2. Be a good mother and look after my children's welfare and well being, as well as nag them sometimes;
3. Buy one of my children their first car (secondhand);
4. Encourage another child to continue studying;
5. Lose a few kilos;
6. Start yoga again;
7. Look after myself so that I can do all of the above.
8. And start paying off another ppty I just bought. (although that comes a distant 8th to all of the above).

Some awesome goals here. Looks like 2015 will be a big one!
1. Complete 6 small projects. 2 builds about half complete now, 4 scheduled in Jan, 2 in June. Ideally acquire 2-4 more sites during the year as well.
2. Complete first 5 pack townhouse development. Site under contract currently
3. Find a site to build a mid term PPOR
4. Be a supportive husband during preparation for the birth of our first child in May.
5. Continue to be a supportive husband after the birth
6. Get back on mountain bike. Surgeon says I can from January onwards.
7. Look at options to step back from work and focus more on property.
Let's see how we go! Will be an interesting 12 months.

There are some incredible plans listed here. You guys are amazing!
I don't tend to make too many investment plans as they are largely on autopilot.
The only planned item so far is a trip on the Orient Express from Istanbul to Venice and dining at Alan Ducasse's Le Louis XV restaurant in Monte Carlo to celebrate turning over my 5th decade.
God willing I can also keep my job .

I plan to finally make a start on my property goals. I've been thinking about buying somewhere a little further North in QLD for a while (maybe Rockhampton or Yeppoon since I have friends up that way).
I've been lurking around these forums for a while now and definitely have some research to do! There are some impressive portfolios around here and I'm pretty keen to get started on the same path!
Besides that, keep getting into shape and pushing for more business.

Goals for 2015
- Support hubby in growing his businesses (1. IT consulting 2. product development)
- Support him in finalising his patent pending
- Enjoy our trip to South America (starting next week but going until Feb 2015)
- do something with my education (2014 saw me graduate with a Grad. Dip and publish publish an article in a peer reviewed journal - so something similar would be good)
- get a website up and running for my private practice and expand/grow said practice (hopefully into something that will allow me to exit from full time employment by 2016)
- look at starting a family
In terms of investing I doubt I will be able to convince hubby to buy stuff as our cash is tied up businesses and he would be worried about the risk. I have all year to work him around to my way of thinking.

Congrats Oscar on another little one on the way.
Looks like a busy year for you even with the less consulting.
Thanks Myf.
Mine's busy, yours is a massive year! Looking forward to the progress.
Plans for 2015-

Pay down non-deductible debt ready to purchase interstate in 2016
Lose 8-10 kilos and get back to playing competitive sport after breaking my leg
