Ask The Entrepreneurs: 12 Tools Helping People Do Good and Complete Life Goals

Ask The Entrepreneurs is a regular series where members of those involved in the Young Entrepreneur Council are asked a single question that aims to help Lifehack readers level up their own lives, whether in an area of management, communication, business or life in general.

Here’s the question posed in this edition of Ask The Entrepreneurs:

What mobile app or website is seeking to help people do good in reaching their life goals?

1. Accompl.sh Brings Accountability

Accompl.sh, founded by Jenn Vargas, is all about goal-setting and well… accomplishment! The social features of the site — which allow members to enter into personal challenges together or share goals with one another — enhance the impact of the site as well. Accompl.sh makes your former pen-and-paper bucket list so much more effective for achieving goals.
– Doreen Bloch, Poshly Inc.

 

2. Fig Will Be Worth the Wait

Fig is a new personal wellness app (currently in private beta, but available soon) that makes wellness reachable in a whole new way. Fig breaks down big wellness goals or ideas (e.g. get in shape, invest in pregnancy) into bite-size steps, provides relevant resources, and helps you reach your ideal life with a community of people that matter to you.
– Kent Healy, The Uncommon Life

 

3. Digital Nomad Academy

At my company Digital Nomad Academy, we’re trying to help struggling nine-to-fivers build meaningful, sustainable online businesses of their own, and take responsibility for themselves, while they also create enjoyable lifestyles that let them travel and spend their time more freely. We already have a great community of over 130 ambitious lifehackers and travelers on five continents!
– Cody McKibben, ThrillingHeroics.com

 

4. Sleep on CouchSurfing

I’ve been a fan of CouchSurfing ever since it launched. I’ve met hundreds of people from all over the world, sharing meals, great conversations, and learning a lot about different cultures — not to mention I’ve met a lot of cool entrepreneurs! Now, with a mobile app, CouchSurfing has made it easier than ever to travel the world, meet awesome people, and save a ton of money!

5. Do It With DoSomething

DoSomething.org is a website that offers children and young adults (ages 25 and younger) the chance to sign up for organized volunteer projects in their community. The site offer grants to launch projects, and also provides financial assistance for college to its members. It’s a cutting-edge concept, and it comes at a time when this country could definitely use a boost in giving and volunteerism.
– Andrew Schrage, Money Crashers Personal Finance

 

6. It’s a Wonderful day

The concept behind Wonderful day is very simple: you add something you want to do every day (or on another schedule) and then you mark whether you accomplish it. You can see at a glance how consistently you do something, which is a major motivator — at least for me — to do certain things more regularly.
– Thursday Bram, Hyper Modern Consulting

 

7. Are You a Location Rebel?

My site, Location Rebel, is a community for people who want to build a business that allows them to work for anywhere, and do the things they’ve been putting off in life. It has a heavy “bucket list” component to help maintain accountability, and keep perspective about what the user really wants to accomplish.
– Sean Ogle, Location 180, LLC

 

8. Peek Into Pinterest

I always joke with people that the Pinterest version of myself is way better than reality — but I think one reason that Pinterest has become so popular is that it’s a way for people to track and express an ideal version of themselves: what they want to cook, make, decorate, travel to, etc.
– Abby Ross, Blueye Creative

 

9. Share Passions With Mightybell

Mightybell is a place to create spaces around your interests and passions. Quite a few of those spaces are focused on helping people achieve life goals and plan adventures. There’s a bucket list space, spaces for globetrotters, reading lists for book lovers, and so many more. You can also start a space for your friends or community around a common thing you want to learn, explore or achieve.
– Natalie MacNeil, She Takes on the World

 

10. stickK Does the Trick

On stickK, you draw up an official “commitment contract” that binds you to achieving your goal. By agreeing, you publicly state your goal and commit to achieving it. Also, you can put money at stake, which dramatically increases your likelihood of completing the goal. If you are unsuccessful, the money can go to something like apolitical group you despise, which provides even more motivation.
– Emerson Spartz, Spartz Media

 

11. You’ll Like Lift

Lift — a deceivingly simple but powerful goal-tracking app backed by the founders of Twitter — is my new favorite app. It is helping people achieve their fitness, health, happiness and “everything” journeys.
– Derek Flanzraich, Greatist

 

12. Download Bucket List PRO

Bucket List PRO is a mobile app that allows you to keep track of your bucket list items and share them with friends. You can also check out other peoples lists for inspiration.
