My 2019 Year In Review: Successes, Failures & Lessons Learned

Stefan James — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 18:05:22 +0000

I have created a new and improved version of K Money Mastery which is called, Mastering Book Publishing!

Welcome to my FINAL Goals Report!

Every month since 2012, I write a detailed report about my progress toward the goals and resolutions I publicly stated on my blog earlier in the year. I previously called this my Monthly Goals Report, but for 2019 I decided to try doing a Quarterly Goals Report instead.

Since I started sharing my goals and progress in 2012, I have received such an amazing response from people all over the world. You’ve shared with me how I helped to inspire you by openly sharing my progress. And knowing you’re reading this helps me hold myself accountable to the promises I’ve made to myself.

This is my final Goals Report for 2019. It’s my hope that you can take away something to inspire you in the pursuit of your own goals.

MY 2019 GOALS BREAKDOWN

I’m now going to go into each goal that I committed to for 2019 in detail and share exactly where I’m at with each. For complete context, check out the original 2019 goals and resolution video blog, and my previous Goal Reports.

Every quarter, I may add or modify some goals as well – I've learned that flexibility is important throughout the year, as there's always new opportunities or adjustments you have to make.

Before I dive into the 2019 goals I originally set, I want to first share with you some NEW GOALS that I achieved that weren't even on the original list.

HEALTH & FITNESS GOALS:

1. I will easily eat clean at least 6 days per week to create optimal health, energy, vitality, and physical fitness by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Eating clean 6 days per week

RESULT: Eating clean 4-5 days per week

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

This goal was not achieved in 2019. Theres a few things that I could do better in the future relating to a goal like this.

First, I should've better defined what eating “clean” is. I also should've set a more realistic goal with all of the traveling that I had planned during 2019, as it was too difficult for me to stick to. And I also should've done a better job at measuring this goal on a weekly basis, which I did not do. However, I'm proud of myself for still eating clean roughly 4-5 days per week.

Want to know what I typically eat in a day for unstoppable energy? Read this article and watch this video to find out (this is when I'm not on the ketogenic diet).

2. I will easily detox for at least 7 days to support my body in optimal health and vitality by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Detox 7 days by the end of 2019

RESULT: 4 months detox

PROGRESS: Achieved!

I kickstarted 2019 with a gut-healing detox program that my naturopath put me on, which has lasted 4 months so far!

We did several health tests to identify anything in my body that I could improve or optimize. The tests included:

From these tests, we identified a few things for me to pin-point in healing with modifying my diet and supplements. The biggest ones we've been tackling have been systemic candida and leaky gut syndrome. Unfortunately it can take months, even years, to heal leaky gut syndrome, which is why I've been on this detox for so many months.

I've been on a pretty advanced supplement protocol and have been doing coffee enemas almost daily to help accelerate the healing process.

While I was originally planning only a 7 day detox, I'm glad that I've taken more of a customized approach for my body rather than doing a generic detox that I've done in years past.

3. I will easily do yoga at least twice per month to improve my overall flexibility and physical recovery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Do yoga twice per month

RESULT: Twice per month

PROGRESS:Achieved!

While I didn't track this goal as well as I should've in 2019, I'm still going to give myself credit for achieving it. There were some weeks where I do yoga several times, other weeks I did not – but overall, I did A LOT of yoga and deep stretching in 2019 which I'll give myself credit for.

4. I will easily get to at least 10% body fat and have my abs showing and celebrate by doing a fitness photoshoot by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 10% body fat by the end of 2019

RESULT: 10% body fat

PROGRESS: Achieved!

In the first quarter of 2019, I've been incredibly focused on my health and fitness. Through the detox I've been on, my body fat has reduced to around the 10% range. I'm not able to measure this as accurately as I'd like (I don't have access to a DEXA scan in Panama), however, I know from past experience that around 10% body fat means your abs are really starting to pop!

Currently I'm in great overall shape, fairly lean and athletic, which is exactly where I like to be!

FINANCIAL GOALS:

5. I will easily save or invest at least $1,500,000 USD by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: $1,500,000 USD

RESULT: $2,120,243 USD

PROGRESS: Achieved!

I over-achieved on this goal in 2019, saving and investing a lot more than what I originally planned, which I'm proud of.

In Q3, I over-achieved on this goal by being able to save and invest an additional $1,449,780 USD – bringing the total amount so far for 2019 at $2,120,243 USD. Every month, I've been continuing to invest in stocks (especially dividend paying ones), but have also been holding a lot of fixed income investments. I'm holding a lot of fixed income investments, as well as government bonds and cash, as I'm anticipating a market crash that I want to prepare for. I still want to get SOME return for my money, but don't want to have everything tied up in investments that can plummet if there's a crash. So right now I've been trying to buy some recession-proof investments and make sure I have flexibility to invest if there's a market crash.

I've shared my $3.5M Stock Investment Portfolio in the past, so you can exactly what I own and invest in. I also shared my stock portfolio when it first reached $1,000,000 a few years ago, so you can see my investing progress since. I own everything from bank stocks, to ETFs, REITs, bonds, similar instruments on the Toronto Stock Exchange. In 2019 I've been more focused on buying in the US markets.

MISSION & BUSINESS GOALS:

6. I will easily participate in sharing the Amazing Selling Machine and my ASM Fast Track Bonuses to help support people in building their own Amazon business by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 launch

RESULT: 1 launch

PROGRESS: Achieved!

I achieved this goal in October, when the new Amazing Selling Machine 11 (ASM11) was released. It continues to be the best Amazon FBA training that I've come across and I'm proud to be partners with this great program, recommending it to anyone that wants to get started selling on Amazon. I was also thrilled to provide people with incredible bonuses when they sign up for ASM11 through me, to further help people build their business faster than easier than doing so on their own.

7. I will easily host at least 2 Online Business Mastery Mastermind events to be able to intimately help people build their online businesses by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 2 masterminds

RESULT: 2 masterminds

PROGRESS: Achieved!

In 2019, I successfully hosted two Online Business Mastery Mastermind events with Tatiana. It's always a pleasure to meet my subscribers and to help them achieve their online business goals. Below is a picture of one of the events.

8. I will easily re-design StefanJames.com by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Redesign StefanJames.com

RESULT: Site improvements made

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

While I made some updates to StefanJames.com in 2019, I did not re-design the website as I had originally planned. With a few other more important goals arising in 2019, I decided to put this goal on pause until I have more time to focus on it.

9. I will easily create and launch Mastering Book Publishing to help publishers make money online by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Create a rebranded book publishing course

RESULT: In process

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

While I didn't achieve this goal in 2019, I've made a lot of significant progress with it and I'm happy to say that it's almost complete! I instead decided to create two new publishing courses: Mastering Book Publishing and Mastering Book Marketing. Right now we're planning on releasing them near the end of March 2020.

I've been a bit of a perfectionist with this goal, wanting to make sure the course and members area is as great as it can be. While I could've rushed this and released the course in 2019, I didn't feel comfortable doing so if it wasn't at the standard I set for myself.

10. I will easily improve Affiliate Marketing Mastery to help members get results while continuing to optimize my webinars and funnels for Affiliate Marketing Mastery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Improve Affiliate Marketing Mastery

RESULT: Improving community

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

While I did make a lot of great new improvements to Affiliate Marketing Mastery, it still wasn't at the standard that I wanted to. In 2019, we improved the Facebook group community, added new lessons and updated older lessons, which further helps our members build their online business. In 2020, I have plans to make more improvements.

11. I will easily create and launch a new Amazon product and transparently share the process by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 product

RESULT: 0 products

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

This was a goal I decided to no longer pursue in 2019, as I instead dedicated my time and attention towards new goals that came up which were more important.

12. I will easily publish at least 2 new books on Amazon by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 2 books

RESULT: 1 book published

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

In Q1, I published a new book titled 67 Morning Ritual Habits For Your Body, Mind And Spirit which is now available on Amazon as a Kindle book, Paperback book and Audiobook. The launch of this book has been helping me with the last round of Amazon experiments I've been conducting for my new publishing course.

Unfortunately, I didn't achieve this goal as I didn't released a 2nd book, as I instead decided to focus my time and attention towards other goals that were more important.

13. I will easily improve Morning Ritual Mastery to help members get results while continuing to optimize my funnels by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Improve Morning Ritual Mastery

RESULT: Haven't started

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

I did not achieve this goal and instead focused on other goals that were more important.

14. I will easily hire a new social media marketer to help me grow my social media by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 new social media marketer

RESULT: 1 new social media marketer

PROGRESS: Achieved!

This has been a goal that I've been focused on lately, as it's an important role within Project Life Mastery. I actually first hired a graphics designer to help with social media content, who was also supposed to be our Social Media Marketer. Unfortunately they weren't able to handle the load of doing both, so we've kept that person working for us full-time as a graphics designer, and then recently hired a new person that's focused on Social Media Marketing and Community Management. Technically, this goal has been achieved – however, we may move team members around a bit in the future as we're currently seeing how everyone is performing.

15. I will easily hire an assistant to help support my lifestyle and business by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 new assistant

RESULT: 1 new assistant

PROGRESS: Achieved!

In Q1, I offered my existing assistant, Darina, a full-time position with Project Life Mastery and she's now working for me full-time. I've been working with her for several years now, but only in a part-time role, as she was working with other clients. I offered her a full-time position, which I'm happy that she accepted, as she's been a blessing to my life and business thus far.

16. I will easily hire an operations/project manager to help manage Project Life Mastery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 new project manager

RESULT: 0 new project manager

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

I decided to no longer pursue this goal and instead focus on other goals that were more important.

17. I will easily publish at least 150 videos on the Project Life Mastery YouTube channel by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 150 videos (37.5 per quarter)

RESULT: 171

PROGRESS: Achieved!

In 2019, I published 171 videos on the Project Life Mastery YouTube channel and podcast. I've been consistently publishing 3 videos per week, sometimes more. I've also been focused more on improving our video editing and my content production process, so that I can be more “strategic” about the videos that I'm releasing, so I can add as much value as possible.

18. I will easily publish at least 200 articles on the Project Life Mastery website by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 200 (50 per quarter)

RESULT: 152

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

I didn't publish as many blog posts as I'd like on Project Life Mastery in 2019, coming up short by 48. However, I'm still proud that my team and myself was able to publish 152 blog posts to further build the blog and serve our audience.

19. I will easily host at least 12 Life Mastery Accelerator monthly mentoring sessions by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 12 (3 per quarter)

RESULT: 12

The Online Business Mastery Accelerator now includes 38 informative video trainings, with 78+ hours of additional content.

A Life Coach who has been helping me to increase my levels of performance
A Naturopath/Health Coach who has been helping me optimize my health and body
A Tantra Coach who has been helping Tatiana and I cultivate tantra practices into our relationship

I've always been a huge believer in coaching, as it's one of the most important things that has helped me progress in my life to where I am today.

33. I will easily complete a 30 Day Meditation Challenge using my Muse to continue calming the mind and evolve spiritually by December 31, 2019.

34. I will easily attend Tony Robbins Business Mastery to continue mastering my online business by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 summit attended

35. I will easily do at least 12 sessions with my Tantra coach to continue creating more intimacy, love, passion and powerful multi-orgasmic experiences by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 12 sessions (3 per quarter)

RESULT: 3 sessions

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

Unfortunately, Tatiana and I didn't get to do 12 sessions with our Tantra coach – only 3 in 2019. It ended up being too difficult sticking to a consistent coaching schedule as we were traveling so much in 2019 and in different time zones.

36. I will easily do my Relationship Ritual with Tatiana at least once per month to continuously ensure we’re meeting each other’s needs and creating a passionate love affair that is legendary by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 12 relationship rituals (3 per quarter)

RESULT: 10 relationship rituals

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

In 2019, Tatiana and I did our relationship ritual 10 or 11 times – I know we missed at least one month doing it, possibly two (should've tracked better!). This has been an important ritual that we do to help ensure we maintain an outstanding relationship that is constantly growing!

During this ritual, we review our relationship vision, goals, and bucket list, as well as check in with each other on the 6 human needs and 5 love languages. This proactively grows our connection and communication, and we have found it keeps our relationship forever extraordinary.

If you'd like to learn how to implement a Relationship Ritual into your relationship, check out the training that Tatiana and I did inside the Life Mastery Accelerator.

37. I will easily plan a romantic, fun or adventurous date night with Tatiana at least twice per month by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 24 date nights (6 per quarter)

RESULT: 20, roughly

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

This goal wasn't achieved in 2019. To be honest, I didn't do a good job consistently tracking this goal as I should've. While we did travel a lot in 2019 and had a lot of fun and romantic experiences, I didn't track things accurately enough to fully know whether or not this goal was achieved.

38. I will easily socialize at least once per week with friends or strangers (in-person, Skype or phone) by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Socialize once per week

RESULT: Once every other week

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

I have a tendency to go into “work mode” at times and cut myself off from the world when I'm super focused, or to go in “travel mode”, so I'm a bit behind on the consistency of this goal. Most of my communications with friends is online these days using Skype, since I travel so much, which makes things difficult.

39. I will easily take off Saturday and Sunday from work (exception during events) to allow myself to rest, recover, have fun and create balance in my life by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Take weekends off work

RESULT: Take weekends off work

PROGRESS: Behind

I didn't achieve this goal in 2019, as there were some weekends I worked due to important launches and deadlines in my business. However, we did also take a lot of time off in 2019 to compensate for this.

TRAVEL, FUN & LIFESTYLE GOALS:

40. I will easily travel to South America for at least 3 weeks and enjoy at least 7 days fully off work by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 amazing journey

RESULT: 1 amazing journey

PROGRESS: Achieved!

In May, Tatiana and I traveled to Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. We decided that 3 months was more than we would've liked to spend in South America, we were comfortable with about a month visiting those locations.

Watch my Argentina and Chile Vlog.

Watch my Bolivia Vlog.

41. I will easily travel to Costa Rica and enjoy at least 4 days fully off work by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 amazing journey

RESULT: 1 amazing journey

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

We decided not to go to Costa Rica in 2019 and instead travel to other parts of the world.

42. I will easily travel to Europe for at least 2 weeks and enjoy at least 7 days fully off work by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 amazing journey

RESULT: Cancelled

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

This goal was cancelled, as we got invited to instead go to Fiji this year to spend time with Tony Robbins at his resort. We instead traveled in Q3 to New Zealand, Fiji, Thailand, Singapore and South Africa.

43. I will easily take at least 7 days fully off work in December by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 7 days off

RESULT: 7+ days off

PROGRESS: Achieved!

I ended up taking over a week off work while visiting Tanzania and Kenya on a safari and volunteer trip. We also took more time off work during other parts of the year in our travels.

SPIRITUAL & CONTRIBUTION GOALS:

GOAL: $50,000 donated to build 3 schools

RESULT: $50,000 donated in 2019

PROGRESS: Achieved!

I'm thrilled that in 2019, I donated $50,000 to WE.org to build 3 new schools in Ethiopia and Kenya. We also went to Kenya in 2019 to visit one of the schools that I had helped build previously, along with volunteering to build a new one!

Click here to learn more about a trip I did to Ethiopia for a school inauguration that I helped fund.

45. I will easily fundraise or donate at least $10,000 to build 3 new houses for families with TECHO or WorldHousing by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: $10,000 raised to build 3+ houses

RESULT: $5267 raised publicly on this campaign

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

I actually only raised $5276 publicly on my fundraising campaign, coming up short on this goal, however I've personally donated the remaining amount to ensure that the $10,000 was achieved and 3+ houses are being built. . I've also matched all donations that people have made on that campaign.

CLICK HERE to learn more and donate!

For the last four years, I've been involved in funding houses for families suffering from poverty with different organizations. I've personally been a part of funding and building 6 houses so far, in El Salvador and Nicaragua. I plan on continuing this campaign and mission for 2019 and beyond!

46. I will easily loan at least $5,000 through Kiva.org to support those suffering from poverty by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: $5,000 in microloans

RESULT: $5,000 in microloans

I've continued to loan money to those in need in 2019, totalling $5,000 with Kiva.org.

47. I will easily listen to 4 audiobooks of the Word of Promise (Old Testament or New Testament) to continue learning about God and the Bible by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 4 complete audiobooks

RESULT: 0 completed audiobooks

PROGRESS: Not Achieved

I didn't achieve this goal in 2019 and instead focused on reading The New Testament from my Bible, which I find easier to follow than the audiobook.

48. I will easily connect with God every day through prayer, gratitude or conversation by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Pray everyday

RESULT: Pray everyday

PROGRESS: Achieved!

I achieved this goal in 2019. I love praying every day and connecting with God. It's one of my favorite things to do, so I find this goal fairly easy for me!

How To Set Goals While Keeping Your Life In Balance

Stefan James — Wed, 08 Jan 2020 16:00:28 +0000

Knowing how to set goals while keeping your life in balance can be tricky.

In today's fast-paced world, it can seem like a far-fetched goal of achieving the ever-elusive work-life balance.

At the end of the day, it comes down to understanding what balance means to you.

Work-life balance isn't about getting everything perfect. Do you want to know how to set goals while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle?

Yes, you can do both. Keep reading to discover how!

Keeping your life in balance can be tricky.

If you struggle with work-life balance, you're not alone. Many of us have competing priorities that need our attention. Finding time to do everything can be challenging. Oftentimes, it's our mental and emotional health that is the first to take a hit.

A Gallup Wellbeing Index study found that 45 percent of entrepreneurs reported being stressed about their job and company and another 34 percent said they “worried a lot.” Can you relate? As an entrepreneur, I know all too well how difficult achieving ‘balance' can be.

However, over the years I've learned that if I don't make my health top priority, my business suffers, as does every area of my life. Don't get me wrong… if you want to succeed as an entrepreneur you have to be willing to ‘hustle.' However, it's equally as important to take care of yourself.

You will not be able to effectively add value and show up in the world if you are constantly living on autopilot. When it comes to creating work-life balance, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. The concept of balance means something different to everyone.

I had the opportunity to sit down with my good friend, Matt Clark and talk about how to set goals while keeping your life in balance. For those of you who don't know, Matt is the Executive Chairman and Co-founder of Amazing.com. This is a company that helps Amazon entrepreneurs build their own physical products business. Here are some questions that he asked me and my responses to them.

Let's dive in!

What does it take to get the most value out of a year? How do you structure things to make sure that you accomplish a lot?

Before I start planning for the year ahead, I like to reflect and debrief the previous year. I have a process for doing that. I look at all of my wins, successes, and accomplishments. If you just take that in, it will help you build momentum that you can carry forward.

I also look at the challenges and the struggles that I faced and what I learned from those experiences. If you don't learn from your failures, you will carry them with you into the next year. When it comes to planning ahead for the New Year, I first like to get clear on what my vision is.

I really believe that your goals are merely stepping stones to the ultimate vision that you have for your life. Your goals should bring you one step closer to where you want to be 10-20 years from now.

I think about the goals that I want to achieve in each area of my life – health, business, finances, relationship, spiritual, and contribution. Once I'm clear on my vision, I do a brainstorming process where I think about the different goals that I want to set in each of those areas.

I narrow down what I'm most excited to accomplish in each area.

Lastly, I make sure that I'm setting goals that are S.M.A.R.T., which is an acronym for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. I have a system for following up to ensure that I'm on track with my goals. If I'm not making progress, I make the necessary adjustments. Setting goals is easy, but 98% of people who set New Years Resolutions don't follow through on them. I want to be one of the 2% of people who do follow through.

What strategies can people adopt to ensure that they stay motivated to achieve their goals?

Accountability is huge. Oftentimes when we set goals, we say, “Hey I'm going to achieve this”, but because we are only accountable to ourselves, we can easily back out. With my brand, Project Life Mastery, I publically share my goals every year. It's uncomfortable for me to do so because it creates a lot of pressure.

However, it ensures that I am more likely to follow through because I don't want to lose respect and credibility from my audience. Accountability can be found in the form of a Mastermind group, an accountability buddy, a coach or a mentor. You want to find someone who can help you stay on track.

Is it better to be balanced or it is better to be hyper-focused in one area of life?

It depends on what you want in your life and what that looks like. A lot of people want to build an online business so that they can create more freedom and spend more time with their family and friends. I have always valued balance. From the beginning, I knew that spending all of my time and energy on my business wasn't going to fulfill me.

I believe that there are areas of life that are much more important than making money.

For me, that's my health, emotions, relationship, and spirituality. At times, you will have to go out of balance and make sacrifices, especially if you are building a business. Fully being in balance doesn't exist. There are times in my life where I fully immerse myself in a project, to the point where I may be neglecting other areas of my life.

However, it's only for a short period of time. I always return back to the balanced state. You've got to have a purpose for your day. Being proactive and strategic with your time will ensure that you are present in everything that you do. When you know what the outcome is for each task that you carry out, you will get so much more out of the experience.

This is how to set goals while keeping your life in balance.

Get clear on what work-life balance means to you and then set goals that align with the vision that you have for your life. If you push yourself too hard you will only end up suffering.

However, when you make it a priority to engage in healthy habits every day, you will set yourself up to win. Taking care of your mind, body and soul will give you the energy and motivation that you need to achieve your goals, especially on the days when you feel like giving up.

Are you ready for 2022 to be your best year yet?

Setting New Years Resolutions? Learn From My Mistakes

Stefan James — Mon, 30 Dec 2019 16:00:24 +0000

Setting New Year's resolutions is the best way to ensure that you achieve your goals in 2022.

A new decade is right around the corner. If you're like me, you're getting prepared and excited for a New Year.

Unfortunately, I see a lot of people make goal-setting mistakes when they are in the process of setting New Year's resolutions. As a result, they end up sabotaging their success.

I've been setting goals for many years. Ready to learn from my mistakes and set New Years resolutions the right way?

A New Year is a new chapter in your life.

You always want to make sure that the New Year is better than the year before. If you set that as your standard, it will happen. 2022 is your opportunity to set new goals and commitments that have the power to transform your life for the better.

When I reflect upon what I have been blessed to accomplish in my life, I attribute a lot of my success to my ability to set and achieve goals. When it comes to setting goals, I take a specific direction in each area of my life. Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.

Over the years, I've learned a lot about setting goals. Like a lot of people, I've made mistakes along the way. I want to share what those mistakes are, as well as what has worked for me. In doing so, my hope is that I will better set you up for success in 2020.

Here are 6 goal-setting tips that will help ensure that your New Years resolutions stick.

1. Set S.M.A.R.T. Goals

You want to make your New Years' resolutions are S.M.A.R.T. This is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. One big mistake that people make is that their goals aren't specific, meaning that they aren't clear about what it is that they want.

For example, if you want to make more money, get clear on how much money you want to make in the New Year. Write down the dollar amount on a piece of paper.

Secondly, you want to make your goals measurable. This is what will allow you to track your progress over a specific period of time.

For example, if you know exactly how much money you want to make in a 12-month period, you can backward engineer and break down how much you will have to make in 3 months and 6 months' time. You want goals that are both result-oriented and process-oriented.

A result is a specific outcome that you are after. For example, I want to make $100,000. The process is the action plan that you will take in order to achieve that result. Process-oriented goals help you measure whether or not you are on track to achieving your result-oriented goal.

Another big mistake that people make is that they set unrealistic goals that are unattainable. For example, some people set the goal that they want to make $1 million dollars in one year. However, they've never even made $60,000 in one year.

Not surprisingly, they get discouraged and lose momentum. Don't get me wrong, you can achieve unrealistic goals over a ten-year period, but in a short period of time, like one year, it's unrealistic. This is why I always set goals that I know I can achieve.

When it comes to your desire and beliefs for the goals that you set, on a scale of 1 to 10, you want to be somewhere between level 7 and 10. You could set a goal that you have a 10 out of 10 desire for. However, if your belief is lower than a 7, you will be less likely to take action to achieve it.

This is a big reason why about 60 percent of people make New Year's resolutions but only about 8 percent of them are successful in achieving them. My sweet spot is setting goals where my desire and belief is at least at a level 7.

Lastly, you want to have a timeline in place for achieving your goals. Without a deadline, it's just a dream. When you schedule something all of a sudden it becomes real.

2. Write Down Your Goals

Thinking about your goals isn't enough. I recommend writing them down and phrasing them in a way that excites and motivates you. By using language like, “I will” presupposes that you will do something, versus saying, “I want to.”

Dr. Gail Matthews, a psychology professor at the Dominican University in California, found that you become 42% more likely to achieve your goals and dreams, simply by writing them down on a regular basis. Writing down my goals allows me to visually see what it is that I want to achieve, versus just thinking about them.

3. Find An Accountability Partner

A lot of people set New Year's resolutions but never achieve them because they don't have an accountability system in place. If you are only accountable to yourself, you are less likely to follow through. There's no consequence in place.

However, when you tell other people about your goals, it's harder to back out. Find an accountability partner, in the form of a close friend, a coach, a mentor, or a Mastermind group. Share your goals with them and ask them to hold you accountable for the achievement of your New Years' resolutions.

4. Check In On Your Goal Progress

I check in on my goal progress on a weekly basis, but you can do this on a monthly or quarterly basis. Checking in on your goals allows you to accurately assess the progress that you're making. It forces you to course adjust so that you can get back on track.

This is why I'm a big believer in the 100 Day Challenge. This is a goal-setting system that helps you achieve your goals faster. As part of the challenge, you are taught how to carry out an after-action review. This involves checking in on your goals on a bi-weekly basis and evaluating your progress or lack thereof. This is such an important part of the process. You need a system of success in place.

5. Be Mindful of The Number of Goals You Set

Be mindful of how many goals you can handle in each area of your life. If you set too many goals without a track record for achieving them, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Find a manageable amount that you know is achievable. You want your goals to stretch you, but you also want to make sure that they are attainable.

6. Be Flexible

When I first started setting New Year's resolutions, I had a hard time following through. I was a dabbler. With experience, I learned how to become very disciplined to ensure that I would never waiver from my goals and commitments. Over the years, I've learned that being flexible is the secret to goal-setting success. If you're too rigid and you don't allow yourself to adapt, you can miss out on a lot of great opportunities.

Are you ready to start setting New Year's resolutions?

Set goals and do the best that you can to achieve them. Yes, you will come up short sometimes, but that's OK. Don't let it hold you back from setting new goals in the future. At the end of the day, the purpose of setting and achieving goals is who you become in the process.

What are your New Years' resolutions? Make 2022 your best year yet.

My Quarterly Goals Report For 2019 | Q3: Stefan James Progress & Results

Stefan James — Sun, 29 Sep 2019 15:00:30 +0000

I have created a new and improved version of K Money Mastery which is called, Mastering Book Publishing!

Welcome to my third Quarterly Goals Report for 2019!

This is my Quarterly Goals Report for Quarter 3 of 2019. It’s my hope that you can take away something to inspire you in the pursuit of your own goals.

Watch the video below:

(Watch video on YouTube)

[smart_track_player url=”http://www.buzzsprout.com/9299/1871092-plm-724-my-2019-quarterly-goals-report-q3-for-stefan-james.mp3″ background=”default” ]

MY 2019 GOALS BREAKDOWN

Every quarter, I may add or modify some goals as well – I've learned that flexibility is important throughout the year, as there's always new opportunities or adjustments you have to make.

Before I dive into the 2019 goals I originally set, I want to first share with you some NEW GOALS that I achieved that weren't even on the list.

HEALTH & FITNESS GOALS:

1. I will easily eat clean at least 6 days per week to create optimal health, energy, vitality, and physical fitness by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Eating clean 6 days per week

RESULT: Eating clean 4-5 days per week

PROGRESS: On track

During Q3, it's tough to say exactly how clean my eating was due to the amount of travel I was doing. So far this year, I've travelled to 14 countries, which has made it a bit difficult to eat as cleanly as I'd like. However, if I were to guess, I'd say 4-5 days per week I've been eating clean to my standards. It's not as ideal as I'd like, but overall I'm happy to still be healthy and in-shape while being able to travel as much as I do.

Want to know what I typically eat in a day for unstoppable energy? Read this article and watch this video to find out (this is when I'm not on the ketogenic diet).

2. I will easily detox for at least 7 days to support my body in optimal health and vitality by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Detox 7 days by the end of 2019

RESULT: 4 months detox

PROGRESS: Achieved!

I kickstarted 2019 with a gut-healing detox program that my naturopath put me on, which has lasted 4 months so far!

We did several health tests to identify anything in my body that I could improve or optimize. The tests included:

I've been on a pretty advanced supplement protocol and have been doing coffee enemas almost daily to help accelerate the healing process.

While I was originally planning only a 7 day detox, I'm glad that I've taken more of a customized approach for my body rather than doing a generic detox that I've done in years past.

3. I will easily do yoga at least twice per month to improve my overall flexibility and physical recovery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Do yoga twice per month

RESULT: Twice per month

PROGRESS: On track

During Q3, I've been doing yoga and some deep stretching twice per month, which has been great. I'd still like to go deeper with my yoga and stretching, but currently it's a bit difficult with the amount of travel I'm doing to attend yoga cl***es and whatnot.

4. I will easily get to at least 10% body fat and have my abs showing and celebrate by doing a fitness photoshoot by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 10% body fat by the end of 2019

RESULT: 10% body fat

PROGRESS: Achieved!

Currently I'm in great overall shape, fairly lean and athletic, which is exactly where I like to be!

FINANCIAL GOALS:

5. I will easily save or invest at least $1,500,000 USD by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: $1,500,000 USD

RESULT: $2,120,243 USD

PROGRESS: Achieved!

MISSION & BUSINESS GOALS:

6. I will easily participate in sharing the Amazing Selling Machine and my ASM Fast Track Bonuses to help support people in building their own Amazon business by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 launch

RESULT: Sharing ASM throughout the year

PROGRESS: On track

In Q3, I've continued to work with my friends at ASM to help share their incredible program and provide some awesome bonuses for people. However, right now they're launching ASM11, which is their newest course which I'm extremely excited about. It's going to be better than ever… and I'm also providing some remarkable bonuses that will help people fast-track their results.

If you're interested in joining, get my FREE bonuses: CLICK HERE to find out how to get them.

7. I will easily host at least 2 Online Business Mastery Mastermind events to be able to intimately help people build their online businesses by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 2 masterminds

RESULT: 1 mastermind

PROGRESS: On track I recently hosted my Online Business Mastery Mastermind event in July and then have another upcoming in December of 2019, which is now sold out!

I'm hosting one in January 2020, which does have a few spots open right now, but is almost sold out too.

To learn more about the Online Business Mastery Mastermind, click here.

8. I will easily re-design StefanJames.com by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Redesign StefanJames.com

RESULT: Site improvements made

PROGRESS: On track

In Q1, I was able to make some updates to StefanJames.com – however, we haven't started the official re-design process yet. It's something that will be started later in the year once I complete some other projects that are more important.

9. I will easily create and launch Mastering Book Publishing to help publishers make money online by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Create a rebranded book publishing course

RESULT: In process

PROGRESS: On track

In Q3, I've been making some great strides towards getting my new publishing course ready, called Mastering Book Publishing. It's been taking longer than I'd like, because I'm a bit of a perfectionist and have been going over-board towards making it the best out there.

For example, right now as part of this project I hired a company to create a new membership site called Project Life Mastery University. It's going to host all of my courses and we're going to have badges and achievements that members can win as they go through the courses. This has been a big project taking quite a while to complete, but will be incredible once it's available.

The other challenge is also finding the right time in my schedule to focus on launching the new course, which has been difficult with all of my travel and other projects we've got going on. I'm hoping I can still launch it this year, but I've learned that there's many things that can happen outside of my control to delay things and I'm not going to stress over that too much. When it's ready, it'll be ready – I prefer not to rush things and half-*** it, rather than making sure it's done right!

10. I will easily improve Affiliate Marketing Mastery to help members get results while continuing to optimize my webinars and funnels for Affiliate Marketing Mastery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Improve Affiliate Marketing Mastery

RESULT: Improving community

PROGRESS: On track

In Q3, the biggest improvements we've made to Affiliate Marketing Mastery have been to our funnel and our Facebook group community. I've been really happy with the progress of AMM so far this year, but there's still a lot more that I have planned that I'd like to focus on later in the year and in 2020!

11. I will easily create and launch a new Amazon product and transparently share the process by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 product

RESULT: 0 products

PROGRESS: Haven't started I haven't started this goal yet due to a few others that I'd like to complete first that are more important.

12. I will easily publish at least 2 new books on Amazon by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 2 books

RESULT: 1 book published

PROGRESS: On track In Q1, I published a new book titled 67 Morning Ritual Habits For Your Body, Mind And Spirit which is now available on Amazon as a Kindle book, Paperback book and Audiobook. The launch of this book has been helping me with the last round of Amazon experiments I've been conducting for my new publishing course.

GOAL: Improve Morning Ritual Mastery

17. I will easily publish at least 150 videos on the Project Life Mastery YouTube channel by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 150 videos (37.5 per quarter)

RESULT: 132

PROGRESS: On track

This quarter, I published 38 new videos on the YouTube channel and podcast. I've been consistently publishing 3 videos per week, sometimes more, and would like to continue this habit. I've also been focused more on improving our video editing and my content production process, so that I can be more “strategic” about the videos that I'm releasing, so I can add as much value as possible.

18. I will easily publish at least 200 articles on the Project Life Mastery website by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 200 (50 per quarter)

RESULT: 117

GOAL: 12 sessions (3 per quarter)

PROGRESS: Behind

Tatiana and I like to make sure we're each planning a date night for us once a week to add more romance, variety and excitement to our relationship!

However, we are actually behind on this goal – some big projects and travel got us a bit behind on this goal. We're not so much concerned about being “perfect” with this goal, as we often over-achieve on it when we're traveling or in different phases, but we still like to do our best to maintain this ritual.

My Quarterly Goals Report For 2019 | Q2: Stefan James Progress & Results

Stefan James — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 15:02:21 +0000

I have created a new and improved version of K Money Mastery which is called, Mastering Book Publishing!

Welcome to my second Quarterly Goals Report for 2019!

This is my Quarterly Goals Report for Quarter 2 of 2019. It’s my hope that you can take away something to inspire you in the pursuit of your own goals.

Watch the video below:

(Watch video on YouTube)

[smart_track_player url=”http://www.buzzsprout.com/9299/1490686-plm-701-my-2019-quarterly-goals-report-q1-for-stefan-james.mp3″ background=”default” ]

MY 2019 GOALS BREAKDOWN

Every quarter, I may add or modify some goals as well – I've learned that flexibility is important throughout the year, as there's always new opportunities or adjustments you have to make.

Before I dive into the 2019 goals I originally set, I want to first share with you some NEW GOALS that I achieved that weren't even on the list.

HEALTH & FITNESS GOALS:

1. I will easily eat clean at least 6 days per week to create optimal health, energy, vitality, and physical fitness by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Eating clean 6 days per week
RESULT: Eating clean 3 days per week
PROGRESS: Behind

During the first half of Q2, I was on a detox plan and eating very clean 7x per week. However, during the 2nd half of Q2, I've been traveling around South America and Africa, and so I haven't been able to eat clean consistently. I'd say that I've been eating clean about 3 days per week, which isn't ideal. Once I'm more back into a consistent travel schedule and routine, I'll be able to get back into a more consistent eating plan.

Want to know what I typically eat in a day for unstoppable energy? Read this article and watch this video to find out (this is when I'm not on the ketogenic diet).

2. I will easily detox for at least 7 days to support my body in optimal health and vitality by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Detox 7 days by the end of 2019
RESULT: 4 months detox
PROGRESS: Achieved!

I kickstarted 2019 with a gut-healing detox program that my naturopath put me on, which has lasted 4 months so far!

We did several health tests to identify anything in my body that I could improve or optimize. The tests included:

I've been on a pretty advanced supplement protocol and have been doing coffee enemas almost daily to help accelerate the healing process.

While I was originally planning only a 7 day detox, I'm glad that I've taken more of a customized approach for my body rather than doing a generic detox that I've done in years past.

3. I will easily do yoga at least twice per month to improve my overall flexibility and physical recovery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Do yoga twice per month
RESULT: Twice per month
PROGRESS: On track

I've been on track with this goal of doing yoga twice per month, however, I'd like to go deeper with yoga than I currently am now.

I've mostly been doing my own practice or watching guided yoga sessions online, which has been good – but not the same as being in a yoga class. I'm proud that I've been on track here, but it's not ideally at the level I'd like it to be at, which means there's room for improvement for next quarter.

4. I will easily get to at least 10% body fat and have my abs showing and celebrate by doing a fitness photoshoot by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 10% body fat by the end of 2019
RESULT: 10% body fat
PROGRESS: Achieved!

FINANCIAL GOALS:

5. I will easily save or invest at least $1,500,000 USD by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: $1,500,000 USD
RESULT: $670,463 USD
PROGRESS: On track

So far for 2019, I've saved and invested over $670,463 USD. While this is still a large amount, it's actually a lot less than what I'd normally save and invest, due to recently paying a departure tax to Canada for 2018.

When you become a non-resident of Canada (and other countries, like the USA), there is a departure tax which is based on capital gains of all your assets as if you've sold them. This was a big process that required getting a formal evaluation done of my businesses and assets in Canada, then determining the tax I'd have to pay.

So far in 2019, I've been investing more into stocks – especially during some of the market drops in the US markets.

MISSION & BUSINESS GOALS:

6. I will easily participate in sharing the Amazing Selling Machine and my ASM Fast Track Bonuses to help support people in building their own Amazon business by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 launch
RESULT: Sharing ASM throughout the year
PROGRESS: On track

In Q2, I've been sharing the Amazing Selling Machine (ASM) and my incredible bonuses for those that are looking to start their own Amazon business from scratch.

ASM is the best Amazon training program I've come across and is what started Tatiana and I's journey selling physical products on Amazon. I'm passionate about their program, which is why I happily share it with those that are looking to start. So far in 2019, I've been sharing ASM throughout my content and promoting any webinar trainings that they're hosting.

I don't have all the details yet, but I believe they'll be launching a brand-new course later this year (ASM11), which they always give existing members free access to. One thing that makes them the best is that they're constantly improving and making the course better for their members.

7. I will easily host at least 2 Online Business Mastery Mastermind events to be able to intimately help people build their online businesses by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 2 masterminds
RESULT: 1 masterminds
PROGRESS: On track

I recently hosted my Online Business Mastery Mastermind event in July and then have another upcoming in December of 2019, which is almost sold out!

8. I will easily re-design StefanJames.com by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Redesign StefanJames.com
RESULT: Site improvements made
PROGRESS: On track

9. I will easily create and launch Mastering Book Publishing to help publishers make money online by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Create a rebranded book publishing course
RESULT: In process
PROGRESS: On track

I've been working on developing a brand-new publishing course, which I don't want to reveal the name of quite yet (it'll be a surprise!). I'm happy with the progress I've been making here so far – I've been testing a lot of book publishing and marketing strategies lately, which I'm excited to share.

This course will likely cost more money than Mastering Book Publishing does – however, existing members will be getting the new course for FREE (along with a few other perks).

10. I will easily improve Affiliate Marketing Mastery to help members get results while continuing to optimize my webinars and funnels for Affiliate Marketing Mastery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Improve Affiliate Marketing Mastery
RESULT: Improving community
PROGRESS: On track

In Q1, the biggest improvements we've made to Affiliate Marketing Mastery has been starting to improve our community.

We hired a full-time community manager, that will be helping to improve the experience of our Facebook group and the value everyone receives there. We're in the process of adding new ideas that will help members, such as ways for members to collaborate together and support each other more to growing their online brand.

11. I will easily create and launch a new Amazon product and transparently share the process by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 product
RESULT: 0 products
PROGRESS: Haven't started

I haven't started this goal yet due to a few others that I'd like to complete first that are more important.

12. I will easily publish at least 2 new books on Amazon by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 2 books
RESULT: 1 book published
PROGRESS: On track

In Q1, I published a new book titled 67 Morning Ritual Habits For Your Body, Mind And Spirit which is now available on Amazon as a Kindle and Paperback version.

The launch of this book has been helping me with the last round of Amazon experiments I've been conducting for my new publishing course.

13. I will easily improve Morning Ritual Mastery to help members get results while continuing to optimize my funnels by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Improve Morning Ritual Mastery
RESULT: Haven't started
PROGRESS: Haven't started

I haven't started this goal yet as I'm currently focused on completing a few other important ones.

14. I will easily hire a new social media marketer to help me grow my social media by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 new social media marketer
RESULT: 1 new social media marketer
PROGRESS: Achieved!

This has been a goal that I've been focused on lately, as it's an important role within Project Life Mastery.

I actually first hired a graphics designer to help with social media content, who was also supposed to be our Social Media Marketer. Unfortunately they weren't able to handle the load of doing both, so we've kept that person working for us full-time as a graphics designer, and then recently hired a new person that's focused on Social Media Marketing and Community Management.

Technically, this goal has been achieved – however, we may move team members around a bit in the future as we're currently seeing how everyone is performing.

15. I will easily hire an assistant to help support my lifestyle and business by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 new assistant
RESULT: 1 new assistant
PROGRESS: Achieved!

In Q1, I offered my existing assistant, Darina, a full-time position with Project Life Mastery and she's now working for me full-time.

I've been working with her for several years now, but only in a part-time role, as she was working with other clients. I offered her a full-time position, which I'm happy that she accepted, as she's been a blessing to my life and business thus far.

16. I will easily hire an operations/project manager to help manage Project Life Mastery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 new project manager
RESULT: 0 new project manager
PROGRESS: Haven't started yet

I haven't started this yet. Right now we've been hiring for some other positions and will be re-evaluating things over the next few months to see how things go, along with the new positions/roles that would need to be filled.

17. I will easily publish at least 150 videos on the Project Life Mastery YouTube channel by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 150 videos (37.5 per quarter)
RESULT: 94
PROGRESS: On track

This quarter, I published 52 new videos on the YouTube channel and podcast. I've been consistently publishing 3 videos per week, sometimes more, and would like to continue this habit.

I've also been focused more on improving our video editing and my content production process, so that I can be more “strategic” about the videos that I'm releasing, so I can add as much value as possible.

18. I will easily publish at least 200 articles on the Project Life Mastery website by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 200 (50 per quarter)
RESULT: 82
PROGRESS: Behind

This quarter, I published 37 new blog posts, which you can find right here on the Project Life Mastery blog.

I'm a bit behind on this goal (18 short through Q2), however, I'm happy about what I've published so far and the quality of content that my team and I are producing.

19. I will easily host at least 12 Life Mastery Accelerator monthly mentoring sessions by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 12 (3 per quarter)
RESULT: 6
PROGRESS: On track

This quarter, I hosted a 3 trainings total on the Life Mastery Accelerator. They were called:

How To Design Your Perfect Day

Stefan James — Fri, 31 May 2019 15:24:16 +0000

Before you can design your perfect day you have to know what is important to you.

This starts with understanding what your vision is. I believe that all of us need to have a compelling vision that makes us come alive inside.

Research shows that those who have a vision will be far more successful than those who don't.

I'm going to share with you one of my favorite exercises for figuring out what you really want from life.

What does your perfect day involve?

If you don't know the answer to this question, visualization is the best place to start. Take a moment to close your eyes and imagine what you would be doing, who you would be doing it with, and how you would feel. Get as specific as possible. Without a compelling future that drives you forward, you will lack motivation and excitement.

A new study from psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis found that the imagination has the extraordinary capacity to shape reality. The authors suggest that “this is the first study showing that merely imagining something close to our hands will cause us to pay more attention to it.” I've experienced this first-hand in my own life.

One of my favorite visualization exercises is called “The Perfect Day.”

This is an awesome exercise for gradually building the life of your dreams. It's an opportunity to reflect upon what you love to do if there were zero limitations in your life. I've been practicing this exercise for many years now. When you think about your perfect day, ask yourself some of the following questions. Journal out, hour-by-hour, what it would look like.

What time would you wake up?
Where would you live?
What would your house look like?
How would you feel throughout the day?
What would you be doing at work?
Describe what your relationship would be like with your significant other

These are just a few examples of questions that you could ask yourself. Feel free to create questions of your own that resonate with you. Doing this exercise works. I encourage you to give it a try and see if you are able to start manifesting aspects of your perfect day into your everyday life.

Ready to design your perfect day?

Commit to building the foundation for your perfect day. It is well worth the investment of your time and energy. Yes, it may take time to transform your vision into reality. However, if you want it bad enough, you won't give up on your dreams.

Think of your imagination as a preview of your life's coming attractions. In the words of Albert Einstein, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”

Don't wait. Start designing your dream life today.

MY 2019 GOALS BREAKDOWN

Every quarter, I may add or modify some goals as well – I've learned that flexibility is important throughout the year, as there's always new opportunities or adjustments you have to make.

Before I dive into the 2019 goals I originally set, I want to first share with you some NEW GOALS that I achieved that weren't even on the list.

NEW GOALS FOR QUARTER 1

I will easily create and launch the Mastermind Cheatsheet: 7 Steps For Surrounding Yourself With Success by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 new book launch
RESULT: 1 new book launch
PROGRESS: Achieved!

CLICK HERE to download the FREE Mastermind Cheatsheet right now.

My team and I put a lot of work into developing this funnel and cheatsheet for you to benefit from. Enjoy!

I will easily create and launch the Project Life Mastery Global Community On Facebook by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 new Facebook group launch
RESULT: 1 new Facebook group launch
PROGRESS: Achieved!

HEALTH & FITNESS GOALS:

1. I will easily eat clean at least 6 days per week to create optimal health, energy, vitality, and physical fitness by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Eating clean 6 days per week
RESULT: Eating clean 6 days per week
PROGRESS: On track

Since the beginning of 2019, I've been extremely focused on mastering my health and have been consistent in eating clean 6 days per week!

I've been primarily on a ketogenic diet and a gut-healing protocol that my naturopath has put me on. So far, it has resulted in me feeling the best I've ever felt and my body has leaned out quite a bit.

Want to know what I typically eat in a day for unstoppable energy? Read this article and watch this video to find out (this is when I'm not on the ketogenic diet).

2. I will easily detox for at least 7 days to support my body in optimal health and vitality by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Detox 7 days by the end of 2019
RESULT: 2.5 months detox
PROGRESS: Achieved!

I kickstarted 2019 with a gut-healing detox program that my naturopath put me on, which has lasted 2.5 months so far!

We did several health tests to identify anything in my body that I could improve or optimize. The tests included:

I've been on a pretty advanced supplement protocol and have been doing coffee enemas almost daily to help accelerate the healing process.

While I was originally planning only a 7 day detox, I'm glad that I've taken more of a customized approach for my body rather than doing a generic detox that I've done in years past. I plan on continuing this detox longer (until I travel to South America) to reap the full benefits.

3. I will easily do yoga at least twice per month to improve my overall flexibility and physical recovery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Do yoga twice per month
RESULT: Twice per month
PROGRESS: On track

I've been on track with this goal of doing yoga twice per month, however, I'd like to go deeper with yoga than I currently am now.

4. I will easily get to at least 10% body fat and have my abs showing and celebrate by doing a fitness photoshoot by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 10% body fat by the end of 2019
RESULT: 10% body fat
PROGRESS: Achieved!

I've scheduled a fitness photoshoot in April of 2019 and will continue training hard to prepare for it.

FINANCIAL GOALS:

5. I will easily save or invest at least $1,500,000 USD by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: $1,500,000 USD
RESULT:
PROGRESS:

So far for 2019, I've saved and invested $333,158 USD. While this is still a large amount, it's actually a lot less than what I'd normally save and invest, due to having to make sure I have the funds available to pay taxes for 2018.

I'm having a huge tax bill for 2018 that I'm paying right now, which is over $1,000,000 due to departing Canada in 2018. When you become a non-resident of Canada (and other countries, like the USA), there is a departure tax which is based on capital gains of all your assets as if you've sold them. This was a big process that required getting a formal evaluation done of my businesses and assets in Canada, then determining the tax I'd have to pay.

So far in 2019, I've been investing more into stocks – especially during some of the market drops in the US markets.

MISSION & BUSINESS GOALS:

6. I will easily participate in sharing the Amazing Selling Machine and my ASM Fast Track Bonuses to help support people in building their own Amazon business by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 launch
RESULT: Sharing ASM throughout the year
PROGRESS: On track

In Q1, I've been sharing the Amazing Selling Machine (ASM) and my incredible bonuses for those that are looking to start their own Amazon business from scratch.

CLICK HERE to learn more about the Amazing Selling Machine.

If you're interested in joining, get my $7,000+ in bonuses for FREE. CLICK HERE to find out how to get them.

7. I will easily host at least 2 Online Business Mastery Mastermind events to be able to intimately help people build their online businesses by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 2 masterminds
RESULT: 0 masterminds
PROGRESS: On track

I currently have my Online Business Mastery Mastermind events scheduled in July and December of 2019 and they're both almost sold out!
