No – ‘Geil’ wouldn’t fit at all.
I probably would stay with ‘Hurra’ or if you want a ‘real’ word – maybe ‘Perfekt’ (which means perfect :p).

fantastisch

Personally, I like “toll” which describes the whole thing pretty well. Nice find.

awesome => ehrfurchtgebietend ?

I’d go with Ausgezeichnet. But that’s just me. :]

HURRA doesn’t sound good! The english “Happy” oder “Happiness” can be used in german and almost everyone will unterstand. But “Fantastisch!” would be better and also means to be happy with the hole situation. Also great and easy: “Glück”
The question of this translation is: Which person should we use?
- What I want to do?
or
- What WE want to do?What about this:
What we do well: “Was wir leisten können” or “Was wir tun können”
What we want to do: “Was wir tun möchten”
What we can be paid to do: “Wofür wir Geld bekommen würden”
Learn to monetize: “Lerne davon zu profitieren”
Learn to say ‘no’: “Lerne ‘Nein’ zu sagen”
Learn to do better: “Lerne es besser zu machen”
Hooray!: “Fantastisch” (it’s a kind of compliment with pleasure) or just “Glück”
That could be ‘Geil’. Exclamation mark optional.
