Determine your Destination!
One of the greatest causes for frustration when it comes to goals and their achievement is setting way too high goals. This happens when we fail to set what are known as SMART goals.
The acronym SMART stands for
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Relevant
T = Tractable
Specific
He should decide how specific from a financial standpoint. Looking at his current status he should first determine what would be the ideal income. Then he needs to create an income that does not require him to work for it to keep coming.
Attainable
here we need to look at figures that can be reached looking at all resources available. Do not forget that this also takes into account resources like skills (existing and new ones), time, money, networks, people etc.
Bear in mind that your goal MUST be attainable in that you should not be setting wild goals that are beyond you in every way especially taking resources into consideration.

Relevant
is the goal relevant to John’s objectives and vision in life? In this case one would assume so because he is a family man in his middle ages and looking for a way out of the rat-race.
A goal that would be considered irrelevant to him would be for instance learning how to drive a truck or getting a degree in business.

Tractable
this has to be time bound. That means the goals must be locked to a specific time and with specific milestones or markers. So, this would mean that John would take his grand goal and then break it down into medium and short term goals.
