These don't have to necessarily be long term life dreams but more reality-based short term goals.

List 'em.

I want to start working out.
I want to stop being so anxious.
I want to overcome my personal deficiencies.
I want to be genuinely happy without giving into my addictions.

What are yours?

i want to change my product line-up and get serious about packaging and distribution - really step my business up a notch.

i also want to spend more time having fun with my family, than working.

unfortunately these two goals are at odds with one another.

These are pretty broad, hard-to-achieve, desires more than goals. It's only my opinion but I think you should keep these up somewhere but break them down into smaller, more achievable, short term goals.
Only in the last year I've been doing this (I'm 32) and I've found myself for once hitting my goals which, in turn, feeds on more energy and confidence for achieving the long-term ones or setting new goals.
