Goals focus at social networking site

A NEW social networking site which aims to help people to share and achieve their goals was launched yesterday.

British couple Guy Eaton and Megan Lomax set up the website which hopes to help people fulfil their ambitions by sharing them with friends and strangers.

The website, Sedogo.com, instigated a study which found that many people have not fulfilled their childhood dreams due to lack of funds, not having enough time to complete them and too many other responsibilities getting in the way. But the founders believe that through sharing ambitions and keeping track of them online, people are more likely to fulfil their dreams.

Mr Eaton, 44, said: "This shows how life can get in the way of achieving your goals, but it doesn't have to be that way.

"We created Sedogo to give people the support they need to turn those dreams and goals into a reality."

Mr Eaton said when he was younger he used to enjoy mountain climbing but as he grew older and he moved from Chester down to London he stopped his hobby.

"About 10 years ago I rediscovered an interest in it.

"I have got lots of things I would like to do in the Alps – Alpine climbing routes – which I would really like to catch up with. I am using the site to publish my goals of the routes I want to take and talking to friends about them.

"I climbed Mont Blanc a few years ago and a friend of mine posted that he wants to climb it and so we have been exchanging a lot of information about how he can do it. He has been benefiting from my experience there."

Ms Lomax, 41, added: "It's too easy to sit back and let life pass you by without striving for what you really want.

"Sedogo stands for see, do, go – see what other people are trying to achieve, do the same and set up your own goal, and go and achieve what you want to achieve with the help and support of others.

"Whether your goal is a modest one or a really big ambition Sedogo can help by asking a simple question: What's stopping you?"
