Model my approach so that you can too! This is my Goals Report for 2019.

The post My 2019 Year In Review: Successes, Failures & Lessons Learned appeared first on Project Life Mastery.

]]>

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.

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

GOAL: 1 new life coach

RESULT: 1 new life coach

  • 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

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

RESULT: 1 summit attended

In August, Tatiana and I attended Tony Robbins Business Mastery event and it was great! It was actually my 2nd time attending and I got a lot of new distinctions from it that will help me grow my business.

RELATIONSHIP & SOCIAL GOALS:

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:

44. I will easily fund at least 3 new schools to be built with We.org by December 31, 2019.

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 see my Kenya School Building Trip vlog.

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

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!

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!

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 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.

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 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:

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: 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!

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!

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: 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. 🙂

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.

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: 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

PROGRESS: Behind

This quarter, I published 35 new blog posts, which you can find right here on the Project Life Mastery blog. I'm a bit behind on this goal (33 short through Q2), however, we've adjusted this goal as a team and 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 sessions (3 per quarter)

RESULT: 3 sessions

PROGRESS: Behind

This has been behind so far this year, as we've been traveling so much and it's been difficult to coordinate time zones and get back into a routine with our coach. We're planning to get back on track once we're in one place for a longer period of time.

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 p***ionate love affair that is legendary by December 31, 2019.

Every month, Tatiana and I engage in a ritual together that allows us to ensure we have an outstanding relationship.

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: 8

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.

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: Behind

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

TRAVEL, FUN & LIFESTYLE GOALS:

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: Behind

In Q3, I'm behind on this goal and haven't completed any audiobooks. I'll be picking up the slack here!

In 2018, I listened to the audiobooks of:

  • The Book Of Genesis
  • The Book of Exodus
  • The Book of Leviticus
  • The Book of Numbers

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: On track

I'm on track with this goal – 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!

Every year, I go through a program called the 100 Day Challenge as a way for me to get a big boost of momentum towards achieving my goals. My secret weapon to achieving my goals has been using accountability systems, such as the 100 Day Challenge, which has given me that extra edge throughout the year to push myself harder.

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!

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 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.

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 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:

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: 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!

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!

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.

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:
 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

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

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.

29. I will easily hire a new life coach to help me grow and develop myself by December 31, 2019.

In Q1, I hired and have been working with more than one coach:
  • 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.

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

I'll be using my Muse and HeartMath Inner Balance devices to help me measure and fast-track my progress.
 
31. I will easily attend Tony Robbins Business Mastery to continue mastering my online business by December 31, 2019.

This goal was originally to attend Tony Robbins Life & Wealth Mastery, however, recently Tony invited me to attend his Business Mastery event in Las Vegas as a gift.  So I'll be attending that one now instead (will be my 2nd time attending).
 

RELATIONSHIP & SOCIAL GOALS:

32. 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: Behind

Tatiana and I started working with our Tantra Coach again in March and we've completed three sessions so far.  I'm a bit behind on this goal as we started working with her late and also have been traveling around South America and Africa during Q2, but would like to get back into this goal later.

33. 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: 6 relationship rituals
PROGRESS: On track

Every month, Tatiana and I engage in a ritual together that allows us to ensure we have an outstanding relationship.

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.

34. 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: 4
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.

35. 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: Behind

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.

36. 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: Only sometimes
PROGRESS: Behind

In the beginning of Q2, I struggled with this one as I was focused on the big launch with Tony Robbins.  However, for the 2nd half of Q2, I brought more balance back into my life and taking the weekends off.

TRAVEL, FUN & LIFESTYLE GOALS:

37. 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.

38. 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: On track
 
Hasn't been scheduled yet for 2019.
 
39. 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: Cancelled
 
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 decided that we'd spend some time in that part of the world, perhaps in New Zealand and Thailand.
 
40. I will easily take at least 7 days fully off work in December by December 31, 2019.

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

Welcome to my first Quarterly Goals Report for 2019!

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 Quarterly Goals Report for Quarter 1 of 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 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!

In Q1, I created this Mastermind Cheatsheet to reveal what I believe to be one of the most important secrets to success.  It's what ALL of the most successful people in the history of the world have in common.

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:

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.  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.

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!

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!

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.

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:
 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.

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.

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!

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

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 (who is still getting trained), 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:
 42
PROGRESS: 
On track
 
This quarter, I published 42 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: 45
PROGRESS: On track

This quarter, I published 45 new blog posts, which you can find right here on the Project Life Mastery blog.

I'm a bit behind on this goal (5 short for Q1), 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)

  • 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

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.

GOAL: 12 sessions (3 per quarter)
RESULT: 1 session
PROGRESS: Behind

Tatiana and I started working with our Tantra Coach again in March and we've completed one session so far.  I'm a bit behind on this goal as we started working with her late, but we'll be caught up in a matter of months as we work with her bi-weekly.

33. 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: 3 relationship rituals
PROGRESS: On track

Every month, Tatiana and I engage in a ritual together that allows us to ensure we have an outstanding relationship.

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.

34. 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: 4
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 – our week away at the Traffic & Conversion Summit and a few other work-related instances got us behind on this.  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.

35. 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: Socializing once per week
PROGRESS: On track

I have a tendency to go into “work mode” at times and cut myself off from the world when I'm super focused, but overall I've still been able to maintain progress on this goal for Q1.  Most of my communications with friends is online these days using Skype, since I travel so much, which makes things difficult.

36. 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: Only sometimes
PROGRESS: Behind

In Q1, I struggled with this one for March as I've been extremely motivated and laser-focused on some goals that I'm excited about!  How can I help myself?

I'm okay with this right now, since I have some amazing opportunities coming up for me and I already have a vacation planned in May that will allow me to recharge and take time off.

TRAVEL, FUN & LIFESTYLE GOALS:

37. 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: 0 amazing journey

Model my approach so that you can too! These are my 2019 goals and resolutions.

The post My 2019 Goals And Resolutions appeared first on Project Life Mastery.

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

Since 2012, I’ve publicly declared my goals and resolutions at the beginning of each year.  I’ve found by doing this, it’s created a powerful internal pressure to take action and raise my standards to achieve them.

Accountability is one of the most important factors that has helped me to push myself further and further each year, and I plan on publicly sharing my 2019 goals here as well so that I can remain accountable.

While I’m proud to have achieved many big goals during 2018 (see my 2018 goals review), I’m more motivated than ever to achieve even greater things in 2019.  I'll be continuing to share my Goals Reports to give regular updates on where I'm at with my goals.

HAVE YOU SET YOUR GOALS YET?

In 2015, I shared my Goal Setting Workshop that I do every year to help me set goals for myself that I learned from Tony Robbins.  If you haven’t set your 2016 goals yet, then I encourage you go through a process like that.

It’s the process that I go through every year, along with what I’ve learned from Gary Ryan Blair in his 100 Day Challenge.  My secret weapon to achieving my goals has been using accountability systems, such as the 100 Day Challenge, which has given me that extra edge throughout the year to push myself harder.

The biggest mistake people make when setting goals is never even checking them again or measuring them regularly, which is what this 100 Day Challenge helps you to do.

I encourage you to make sure that you’ve clearly set your goals for 2016 and to even publicly share them, just as I’m doing right now.

You can share them with your friends, family, on Facebook, via e-mail, on your blog, or even as a comment below.

Again, by making them public you’ll have more internal pressure to follow through on them.  The people that you share them with will also likely be following up with you throughout the year, reminding you of the commitment that you made to them, which will make you more likely to follow through on them.

So, what are your goals and resolutions for 2016?  I’d love to hear what they are, make them public and leave a comment below!

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

After making my 2014 goals and resolutions public on my blog, I had many people request that I post more regular updates with my goals each month.  I decided that I'd make a public commitment to post a Monthly Goals Report to help me stay accountable towards my goals and to be transparent with the progress that I'm making.  Below, you'll find a brief summary of each goal that I committed to, along with an update on where I'm at with it.  Hopefully I can inspire you with the action that I'm taking in my life and encourage you to regularly check in with your goals as well.

My Goals Breakdown

I'm now going to go into each goal that I committed to for 2014 in detail and share exactly where I'm at with it.  Please note that I added two new goals to this list in the business category (as explained in the video), that weren't in the original 2014 goals and resolutions video.

Health & Fitness

1. I will easily be 160 lbs at 6% body fat and compete in the WBFF on July 26, 2014.

RESULT:  151.7 lbs at 8% body fat

stefan january 2014

I'm currently 151.7 lbs at around 8% body fat right now, as seen in the photo.  For January, I was focused on leaning out and getting my body fat lower before I consider putting on some muscle again.  I ended up losing about 6-7 lbs while in Bali and California, which was more than I was expecting.  I've been aiming to lose about 1 lbs. per week as I don't want to lose muscle at all, but it was a bit of a challenge monitoring this while traveling as I didn't have a scale or wasn't able to track calories.  While traveling, I did a 25-30 minute home workout that consisted of squats, rotation pushups, mountain climbers, up and down planks, dips, v-up sit ups, and jumping jacks.  It was an awesome cardio workout, while stimulating my muscles and keeping me lean.  I also was fairly disciplined with my eating habits and was able to estimate how much I was consuming each day.

Overall, I'm happy with the progress and I'm planning on losing a few more pounds so I can get my abs more defined.  Once I get to a lower body fat, then I'll switch gears and start putting on muscle for the fitness competition while staying lean at the same time.  It might be a bit unrealistic to get up to 160 lbs as I don't want to gain more than 1 lbs. per month (don't want to risk gaining fat), so I might modify this goal.  It's also much easier to be back into a consistent routine here in Vancouver.

2. I will easily complete a 7-10 day cleanse using The Total Wellness Cleanse by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: No progress made yet

I haven't focused on this goal yet and plan on doing the cleanse sometime during the end of the year.

Finances

3. I will easily be making $30,000/month consistently by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: $29,532.42

During the month of January, I made $29,532.42 from my online businesses.  This was a lot more than what I expected, as I was aiming for around $25,000.  The most I've ever made in a month is $30,000, so I was thrilled to go over my finances and discover this.  I mentioned in the video that I'm going to share details of my income sources, but I'm not going to be too detailed about the exact websites or books that are making me money.  I still prefer to keep those private, as I've had people that attempt to rip off my ideas and end up competing with me.  I've had this happen in Kindle publishing already and have seen people mimic and compete with the books that I have.

Clickbank: $14,514.47

My Clickbank earnings include Mastering Book Publishing course, 6 other Clickbank products that I sell (which I keep private) and affiliate earnings.  My Mastering Book Publishing course has been growing every month and I've been taking a lot of action to making it one of the best courses out there for helping people make money online.  I'm very proud of the progress I've been making with it.  I also continue to make passive income from several products that I sell on Clickbank that I started 3-4 years ago that continue to make me money on autopilot.  And finally, a large portion of the income is also from affiliate earnings that I get from this blog and other websites that I have also.

Kindle Publishing: $8,115.93

My Kindle publishing earnings include all the royalties that were deposited into my bank account for January from all 100+ Kindle e-books that I sell on Amazon.  My income from Kindle publishing has actually dropped this month because I had to remove a few books that I was selling that violated some silly trademarks.  I also had to fire one of my virtual assistants that I was working with for a few months, as he ended up getting greedy and was billing me for hours that he wasn't working.  Valuable lessons learned here – I just need to get things set up again, which I think will be a blessing, as I am now able to teach these lessons to the members of KMM.  I'm looking forward to be growing my Kindle portfolio much more during 2014.

JVZoo: $2979.10

This is all affiliate commissions that I earned from promoting some products on JVZoo during 2014.  I ended up getting 3rd place in an affiliate contest and winning a $500 bonus, which was super cool too!

ShareASale: $297.75

This is more affiliate commissions that I earned from promoting some products on my blog.

Commission Junction: $184.07

This is more affiliate commissions that I earned from my blog.

Coaching: $1811.00

I wasn't able to take on many new clients during January, since I was traveling, but I still did a lot of 1-on-1 coaching with my existing clients and did a few individual sessions during January.

Other: $1040.10

This is all a bunch of small income that wasn't worthwhile separating into new sections, but it includes a payment from an affiliate program I promoted a few months ago, as well as earnings from Udemy and Fiverr.

Rental Income: $950

This income isn't internet related, but I still included it since I wanted to add up my gross income for January.  I have an investment property that I rent out every month – I don't make any passive income from it, it just covers my mortgage.

Overall, amazing month.  I now just want to continue to remain consistent with over $25,000 per month, and I fully expect to reach over $30,000 with the launch of some new projects that I have.

4. I will easily have saved at least $100,000 by December 31, 2014.'

RESULT: Over $10,000

I was able to save over $10,000 during January that is directly in my savings account.  This doesn't include a investments that I made during January, I'm only tracking money that I'm putting into my savings and keeping away.  I'm happy I was able to save so much in January, considering I spent A LOT of money furnishing my new apartment and traveling.  Overall, I believe that I'll easily reach this goal.

Business

5. I will easily have published at least 100 videos blogs on Project Life Mastery by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: 9 video blogs

During January I published 9 video blogs and 1 guest post on ProjectLifeMastery.com (the guest post doesn't count though).  Here they are below:

My 2014 Goals And Resolutions

It takes a lot of time for me to record these videos and write a blog post for each, but it's been an enjoyable process.  I'm aiming to do at least 10 per month, but if I do a minimum of 9 per month then I will achieve the goal by the end of the year.

6. I will easily launch my new money-making course by May 1, 2014.

RESULT: No progress made yet

Haven't had a chance to focus on this too much right now.  Currently don't want to switch gears too much from Kindle, as I'm getting a lot of momentum in that space.  Will likely begin to focus on this more in a few months.

7. I will easily launch my new Kindle service by February 1, 2014.

RESULT: Delayed, hopefully launching in 1-2 weeks

This goal has been delayed, as I ended up having some issues with a designer I was using.  My regular web designer took most of December and January off, as he got married and was on vacation (in Bali too, actually).  I ended up hiring this other guy, but he wasn't delivering up to the standard that I wanted and so I decided to wait until my original designer got back (he's back now).  So this project is delayed, but hopefully should be launched in 1-2 weeks.

8. I will easily launch my own Kindle software by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: In progress

I'm super excited about this project as I have a team of software developers and designers working on it.  This is my first software that I'm developing and there's been a bit of a learning curve with it.  I'm investing a lot of time and money into this, but I know it will pay off in the long-run and help a lot of people (while solving my problems too).  Things couldn't be moving along better here – hoping to get this launched in the coming months.

9. I will easily launch my new coaching program by March 1, 2014.

RESULT: In progress

I was actually planning on launching this sooner, but it was delayed due to the designer issue as well.  My new coaching program will be launching this month, I'm just completing some finishing touches on the website for it.

10. I will easily complete Autoresponder Madness and implement what I learned into my business by March 1, 2014.

RESULT: In progress

During January I started going through this amazing course!  It's probably one of the best online courses I've been through that is complimenting my business nicely.  While I've been going through the training, I've been setting everything up for my online businesses as well.  It's going to take me awhile to implement everything, but I want to make sure everything is done and ready by the time I finish this course, which hopefully should be this month.

11. I will easily launch the new design for Project Life Mastery by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: In progress

I added this goal recently, as I have been wanting to create a new design for PLM for awhile now.  I found some good designers for the job and they've put together a great concept.  We've been going back and fourth a lot right now and I will likely be asking you guys for feedback on specific elements of it before it gets finalized.  I'm also using CrazyEgg on my as a heatmap to track how my visitors are using my blog.

12. I will easily write and launch a new Kindle e-book by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: In progress

This is a goal that I recently decided to add, as I've been wanting to write another Kindle e-book for awhile now.  All 100+ Kindle e-books that I've published have all been outsourced by writers – the only Kindle e-books that I've actually written personally are Life Mastery and Mastering Book Publishing.  The good news is I've already written this new Kindle e-book (took me 6 hours) and it's currently getting proof-read.  I'm hoping to have it launched in 1-2 weeks.

Lifestyle

13. I will easily move into the Sheraton Wall Centre penthouse on the 48th floor in downtown Vancouver by February 1, 2014.

penthouse2RESULT: Goal Achieved!

This goal is a dream come true!  I just moved into the penthouse at the Sheraton Wall Centre on the 48th floor overlooking beautiful Vancouver.  It's a $1.7 million dollar penthouse and it's still surreal.  Just a few years ago I was broke and struggling, living in my friends living room… and now I'm living in a penthouse!  Very awesome.  🙂  I've now furnished the place (which was a lot of work), and now I'm still furnishing it with smaller items.  I'll have to do a video blog and give a tour of the place once everything is set up.

14. I will easily own and be driving a Corvette ZR1 by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: No progress made yet

Haven't had a chance to focus on this yet or make any progress towards this.  It will likely be something I start looking at once my income hits the $30,000 per month mark, as I could then just finance this card for around $1,000 per month.

15. I will easily spend a weekend in Las Vegas by August 31, 2014.

RESULT: No progress made yet.

Haven't focused on this yet.

16. I will easily spend 2.5 weeks in Bali, Indonesia by February 1, 2014.

stefan baliRESULT: Goal Achieved!

I spent most of January in Bali, Indonesia and had a blast.  I travelled with my friend Mike and I recorded a lot of videos while there.  It's absolutely beautiful there and I highly recommend to go if you get a chance!

17. I will easily travel to San Diego for the Traffic and Conversion Summit by February 1, 2014.

RESULT: Goal Achieved!

frank kern traffic and conversion summitAfter Bali, I ended up going to Los Angeles and then to San Diego for the Traffic and Conversion Summit.  It was an amazing event – over 2,000 people attended.  I was able to hangout with some friends from a mastermind group I'm apart of and meet some internet marketers that are making millions online.  It was very inspirational and now I've got a lot to apply to my businesses for 2014 that will take things to a whole new level.  I'll have to do a video blog with the specifics of what I learned from the event.

18. I will easily take a 1-week vacation and travel somewhere by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: No progress made yet

Haven't been thinking too much about another vacation right now, as I just want to get back into a routine in Vancouver.  Will be a few months before I look to travel again.

Social & Relationship

19. I will easily go out and socialize and have fun at least 3 times per week by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: Been going out 2 times per week

During January I went out and socialized around two times per week.  By socializing, I mean actually going out with the intent to socialize – just doing fun activities in Bali didn't count.  I ended up going out to a few lounges, bars and night clubs while there.  I also met up with a few friends that are apart of my mastermind group that are living in Bali and they took us out as well.  Now that I'm back in Vancouver, I'm able to get into more of a consistent routine of going out again.

20. I will easily have a fun get together and party once a month at my penthouse by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: Party planned

Didn't make any progress towards this goal during January, as I was travelling, but now that I moved into my penthouse I'm going to be throwing a house warming party at the end of February.

Habits & Personal Development

21. I will easily meditate 30 days in a row for 20 minutes at a time by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: No progress made yet

Haven't focused on this habit yet – will likely in a few months.

22. I will easily go 30 days without biting my nails by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: Goal Achieved!

This goal was very easy for me to achieve once I committed myself to it.  I was biting my nails for so long out of habit and once I just decided to be conscious of it and focus on changing it, it was fairly easy.  I had a few times where my fingers would come up to my mouth, but I'd quickly stop myself.

23. I will easily go through Tony Robbins Personal Power II by February 1, 2014.

RESULT: Goal Achieved!

I just finished completing this program for the 3rd or 4th time now.  My mastermind group wanted to go through it together as a group, which I agreed to.  I find that everytime I go through programs again and again, I continue to get more out of it.  This is a powerful program and it helped me with many of my goals also.

24. I will easily read at least 12 books by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: Read 1 book

I read one book during January called The Millionaire Fastlane.  I've heard about this book for years but it wasn't until a follower of PLM decided to gift it to me on Amazon, I decided to read it.  It turned out being one of the best books that I've read!  I wish that I read it sooner.  It's all about how to get rich fast and has some powerful knowledge that I 100% agree with.  Pick it up and read it!  I'm aiming to read at least 1 book per month during 2014.  The current one I'm reading now is on taxes.

25. I will easily respond to friends and family members within 24 hours for 30 days straight by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: Goal Achieved!

This is a goal that I feel that I've achieved fairly easily, just by putting some conscious effort into it.  Now, it was fairly easy since I was travelling, so I've decided to continue on with this habit moving forward of course… as it's something I want to remain doing.  I've been much better at getting back to people, especially since I was able to free up a lot of time by hiring a customer support team to handle most of the e-mails that I receive.

26. I will easily perform 1 act of contribution every month (volunteer, feeding families, donating to charities) by December 31, 2014.

RESULT: In progress

During January, my act of contribution was to give away money to people in Bali.  I just randomly helped out strangers and families by giving away money, as well as tipping larger sums of money too.  There's a lot of poverty there and just by giving away money I was able to make an impact on people and really feel awesome in the process.  I'm going to find something new that I can do for February to continue making a difference!

Final Lessons Learned In January

January ended up being one of the best months that I've had in awhile.  I traveled to another part of the world, moved into my dream apartment, my businesses are hitting record numbers, and I'm getting in the best shape of my life.  I've been more motivated than ever, taking consistent action every single day.  I hardly “waste time” or even take time off… I love what I'm doing so much that I am addicted to my life right now.

That is also the biggest lesson that I got from January: to really love what you do and be passionate about it.  In order to be successful at something long-term, you must be PULLED towards doing it.  If you have to “push yourself” each day, then it's going to be a struggle and you are going to burn out.  In my case, I'm so addicted to my goals that there is no willpower or self-discipline involved.  It actually takes me willpower and self-discipline to NOT do what I'm doing.  I can't wait to go to the gym each day.  I can't wait to work out my online businesses.  I just can't wait to wake up each morning and I hate going to sleep at night.  I'm just filled up with so much passion and juice right now.

Am I always going to be as motivated as I am right now?  Most likely not.  I know there are also times when I might lose some motivation or focus, or might have to rely on pushing myself to do things from time to time, but I think if I get back to what I love doing and always have compelling goals that I'm excited about, then I'll do great.

Another powerful lesson I learned is just how important it is to be able to outsource and leverage your lifestyle further.  During January, I ended up hiring a customer support team to handle all of the e-mails that I receive (there's hundreds of them each day).  This has ended up being one of the best things that I've ever done, as it's now free'd up several hours each day so that I can focus on things I enjoy doing more.  I was dreading answering e-mails each day and it would get overwhelming, so I'm happy that I have such an awesome support team helping me now.  It wasn't cheap as the team I have lives in Canada, but it's been worth it.  Customer support isn't something that I want to cheap out on in my businesses.

This lesson has made me think about other ways that I can leverage myself.  I'm starting to value my time more and more now.  In The Millionaire Fastlane, the author was talking about how we throw away our time in attempts to find the “best deals out there”.  While we're trying to save a couple of bucks, we are wasting hours of our time that is worth more than what we're going to save.  I can relate to this, as my friend and I were going from place to place trying to find the perfect deal or restaurant or hotel… when instead, we decided to just make a DECISION and stick with it.  My team is better used on things that can grow my business each day and make the biggest impact to society.

These are some of the biggest lessons that I stand out for me during January.  Overall, I enjoyed putting this Monthly Goals Report together and I look forward to doing one again for February.  I've found that this public commitment has been pushing me to stay motivated and accountable as well, which is helping me to get more done also.  Thanks for reading!

How was the first month of 2014 for you?  Are you making progress towards your goals?   If you want to share anything or ask any questions, please do so below – I'll be sure to respond and I'd love to hear from you!

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

I wanted to share with you some of the best tips that I have for achieving your goals and resolutions.  I recorded this video on the beach of Bali, a week after publicly posting my 2014 goals and resolutions.  I've been fairly successful at achieving all of the goals I've set out for myself on a consistent basis, year after year, and thought I'd share some of the best strategies that can help you.

1.  Have A WHY Behind Your Goals

First and foremost, you need an empowering WHY behind your goals.  You need to ask yourself, “Why do I want this goal?” and really dig deep.  Make a list of all the compelling reasons for achieving it.

One simple strategy is to use the PAIN and PLEASURE principle, that Tony Robbins teaches.  We as human being do things to either AVOID PAIN or to GAIN PLEASURE.  If you begin to think about all of the pain that will occur in your life if you don't achieve this goal, it will help drive you and give you rocket fuel towards achieving it.  In the same way, you want to think about the pleasure you will get by achieving it.

Some questions you could ask yourself are:

  • What will it cost me in my life if I don't achieve this? (pain)
  • What will the consequence by a year from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now? (pain)
  • What is the benefits that I will get from achieving this goal? (pleasure)
  • How will my life chance a year from now, 5 years from now, 10 years from now by achieving this? (pleasure)

For example, here's some PAIN and PLEASURE reasons that I'd write down for some of my goals:

I will easily be 160 lbs at 6% body fat and compete in the WBFF on July 26, 2014.

WHY…

  • So that I can look in the mirror, smile and feel proud. (pleasure)
  • To never again feel unhappy or unworthy with my body again. (pain)
  • To be a living inspiration of what is possible if one is committed to excellence. (pleasure)
  • By not achieving this, I will not be the person I was meant to be and miss out on attracting the woman of my dreams. (pain)

Get the idea?  Just answer those questions and make a list.  Really think about the ones that have the most EMOTION behind them, as those will fuel you the most.  If you want to go through a more in-depth “life planning” exercise, check out the my life plan video blog.

2.  Have A Strategic Action Plan

achieving goalsEvery goal that you set requires a very specific, strategic action plan that will guarantee the achievement of your goal.  I recently put up a video on the best advice I could ever give you, and in it I spoke about the importance of finding a strategy and sticking to it.  One of the best ways to find the right plan is to FIND SOMEONE THAT HAS ALREADY ACHIEVED YOUR GOAL.  If you want to lose weight, find someone that has already lost the weight and learn from them.  There's a zillion courses and programs out there that are available for you, if you do some searching for it.  If you want to make money with Kindle publishing, get my course, it will show you everything you need to know and walk you through it.  You can also hire a coach or mentor if you don't know of anyone, there's a zillion of those out there also.

An example of one of my action plans for the goal listed above is the following:

  • Work out 5 times per week.
  • Consume 2000 calories per day and follow my macros of 150g of protein, 200g of carbs, 50g of fat.
  • Track my meals and calorie intake daily in a spreadsheet.
  • Take body measurements and photos every week.
  • Weight myself everyday at the gym and record weight.
  • E-mail my coach every week with my weekly progress report.
  • Post on my blog every month the progress I've made towards my goal.
  • Watch motivational videos around fitness and health every week for motivation.
  • Practice posing and “model walk” for a few weeks before the WBFF.
  • Make adjustments to meal and workout plan based on my coach.

Get the idea?  It's specific.  I list EXACTLY what I need to do to achieve my goal.  As long as a I follow this plan, with some small adjustments along the way (by working with my coach), then I will achieve the goal.  It's inevitable.  It's simple.  Just follow the plan, rinse and repeat.  Eliminate all other distractions and just stick with it and I'll be guaranteed success!

3. Chunk Your Goals Down

A year is a long time for most of us to think about.  Some of your yearly goals might be so big that they seem overwhelming or even unattainable.  That's why you want to chunk down your goals into smaller goals, such as 3-month and 1-month goals.  It's much easier to focus on a 3-month or 1-month goal than it is a 1-year goal.  It's also much more achievable for you as well.

So for example, if my 1-year goal is to be making $30,000/month consistently, then I'd break it down into the following:

3-month goal: I will easily be making $25,000 per month consistently by March 31, 2014.

1-month goal: I will easily be making $22,500 by January 31, 2014.

I first measure where I'm at, which is currently making at least $20,000/month consistently, and then take where I want to be, which is $30,000/month consistently… and I'd break down the goal to what I feel I could achieve that would be realistic in the next 1-month and 3-months.

The same would go if you want to lose 24 pounds of fat.  Do the math, and you'll determine that you need to lose two pounds per month.  That means your 1-month goal would become to lose 2 pounds of fat by January 31, 2014… and your 3-month goal would be to lose 6 pounds of fat by March 31, 2014.   Make sense?

4. Follow The S.M.A.R.T. Philosophy

specific goalsI always make sure I follow this philosophy for all of my goals.  S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym that stands for:

SPECIFIC
MEASURABLE
ATTAINABLE
REALISTIC
TIMELINE

I'm surprised by how many people that send me their goals are missing this simple philosophy behind their goals.  You need your goals to be specific and measurable, so that you can check-in with yourself every week and see the progress you're making.  If you just have the goal of “To make more money” or “To lose weight”, then that isn't specific and you wouldn't even know once you've achieved it.  That's why you always want to make sure you QUANTIFY your goal in some way.

Attainable and realistic is extremely important as well, since you need strong BELIEF behind your goals.  I spoke about making sure that your goals are high in the “belief scale” on a scale from 1-10 in my law of attraction video.  If you don't believe that you can achieve the goal, then you likely want take action towards it.  Many times, when you set goals that are too far out there, you're setting yourself up for failure.  When you continuously come up short for each of your goals, month after month, year after a year, eventually you “give up” with setting goals because you feel like a FAILURE.  Instead, make your goals winnable.  Set smaller, more achievable goals that you KNOW that you can hit.  There's a famous quote, “Whatever man can CONCEIVE and BELIEVE, he can ACHIEVE.”  You need to be able to have a high level of belief behind your goals.

Finally, don't forget the timeline.  You need to have a specific date or deadline to achieve your goal by.  This creates the urgency and pressure to get it done.  Just like in school, when you have a project that is due on a specific date, you will always GET IT DONE.  If you didn't have a deadline, then you likely won't get it done and will keep putting it off.  If you want to see some goals that are following the S.M.A.R.T. philosophy, then check out my 2014 goals and resolutions blog post.

5. Get Accountability

I speak about this all the time of my blog… but you NEED accountability.  You need to be accountable to someone other than yourself to ensure that you're taking action to achieve your goals.  It could be a great friend, a mastermind group, an accountability course like the 100 Day Challenge, or even hiring a coach.  This will give you that extra edge and push you every week towards them.

Right now, I'm apart of a mastermind group of 3 other friends.  We meet once a week in Vancouver (right now over Skype since I'm traveling) and we discuss our goals and accountabilities for the week.  We have a penalty of $5 or $10 for every action you set for the week that you don't achieve.  We push each other towards greatness.  We give each other feedback, help and support.  It's a powerful dynamic that I attribute a lot of my success to.

In the past, I've had an “accountability buddy” that I talk to every morning as part of my morning ritual. Sometimes in the evening, as part of my evening ritual as well.  This can be just a quick phone call where each person commits to 3 things they're going to do that day, and then follows up at the end of the night to check-in to see how they did.  You can also implement a “penalty” for not doing what you said, which is another motivating reason to follow through.

These 5 tips can really do wonders to make sure you achieve your goals this year, if you follow them.  I also recommend that you check out a powerful video awhile ago on how to actually achieve your goals which has some awesome advice on how to really make it happen with your goals this year.  I hope that these tips help you and I'm wishing you massive success with your goals!  Let's make it happen!
