So here's what I want:

  1. I want to have as much fun as I possibly can.
  2. I want to be the best performer I can be.
  3. I want to be constantly learning.
  4. I want the skills and experience to teach others.
  5. I want to be proud of my performances.
  6. I want to leave behind satisfied audiences.

I knocked off this list in about fine minutes. I think it covers everything fairly succinctly.

So the big questions are: what do I need to accomplish these goals, and where do I start? Divide and conquer.

All of these depend on the people I play with.
