Obviously depends on the version of the character. If you're talking about the Fred Wolf incarnation in particular, it is indeed hard to tell what he wants to accomplish, as it seems to shift between wanting to rule the world and destroying it.

As for what his goal should be, that depends too. There's not anything wrong with the original depiction of him just avenging his brother and then running a crime syndicate. The problem is just that if you're gonna insist on making him the main villain, it's just kind of weird to have some glorified drug dealer be the big bad in a world of alien invaders and time travelling wizards.

It's really no surprise then that most versions of the Shredder since 2003 have changed him from being a normal human with a hate boner to, amongst other things, an alien or a demon. If the guy is to be the main problem, he has to quantifiably be a bigger problem than the Triceratons or whatever else is putting the world in danger.
