Since I started sharing my goals and progress in 2012, I have received such an amazing response from people all over the world. You\u2019ve shared with me how I helped to inspire you by openly sharing my progress. And knowing you\u2019re reading this helps me hold myself accountable to the promises I\u2019ve made to myself.<\/p>\n
This is my Quarterly Goals Report<\/a> for Quarter 3 of 2019. It\u2019s my hope that you can take away something to inspire you in the pursuit of your own goals.<\/p>\n Watch the video below:<\/strong><\/p>\n \n (Watch video on YouTube)<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n [smart_track_player url=”http:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/9299\/1871092-plm-724-my-2019-quarterly-goals-report-q3-for-stefan-james.mp3″ background=”default” ]<\/p>\n This page contains affiliate links.

For complete context, check out the original 2019 goals and resolution video blog<\/a>, and my previous Goal Reports.<\/a><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b>Eating clean 6 days per week<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b>Eating clean 4-5 days per week<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b>On track<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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).<\/a><\/p>\n 2. I will easily detox for at least 7 days to support my body in optimal health and vitality by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b>Detox 7 days by the end of 2019<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b>4 months detox<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b>Achieved!<\/span><\/p>\n I kickstarted 2019 with a gut-healing detox program that my naturopath put me on, which has lasted 4 months so far!<\/p>\n We did several health tests to identify anything in my body that I could improve or optimize. The tests included:<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n I've been on a pretty advanced supplement protocol and have been doing coffee enemas almost daily to help accelerate the healing process.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 3. I will easily do yoga at least twice per month to improve my overall flexibility and physical recovery by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b>Do yoga twice per month<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b>Twice per month<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b>On track<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>10% body fat by the end of 2019<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>10% body fat<\/p>\n PROGRESS:<\/b><\/strong> Achieved!<\/span><\/p>\n 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!<\/p>\n Currently I'm in great overall shape, fairly lean and athletic, which is exactly where I like to be!<\/p>\n 5. I will easily save or invest at least $1,500,000 USD by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>$1,500,000 USD<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>$2,120,243 USD<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>Achieved!<\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n I've shared my $3.5M Stock Investment Portfolio<\/a> in the past, so you can exactly what I own and invest in. I also <\/span>shared my stock portfolio<\/span><\/a> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n 6. I will easily participate in sharing the Amazing Selling Machine<\/a> and my ASM Fast Track Bonuses<\/a> to help support people in building their own Amazon business by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>1 launch<\/p>\n RESULT:<\/b><\/strong> Sharing ASM throughout the year<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>On track<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE to learn more about the Amazing Selling Machine.<\/a><\/p>\n If you're interested in joining, get my FREE bonuses: CLICK HERE to find out how to get them.<\/a><\/p>\n 7. I will easily host at least 2 Online Business Mastery Mastermind<\/a> events to be able to intimately help people build their online businesses by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>2 masterminds<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>1 mastermind<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>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!<\/p>\n I'm hosting one in January 2020, which does have a few spots open right now, but is almost sold out too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n To learn more about the Online Business Mastery Mastermind, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n 8. I will easily re-design StefanJames.com<\/a> by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>Redesign StefanJames.com<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>Site improvements made<\/p>\n P<\/b><\/strong>ROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>On track<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 9. I will easily create and launch Mastering Book Publishing<\/a>\u00a0to help publishers make money online by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>Create a rebranded book publishing course<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>In process<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>On track<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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!<\/p>\n 10. I will easily improve Affiliate Marketing Mastery<\/a> to help members get results while continuing to optimize my webinars and funnels for Affiliate Marketing Mastery by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>Improve Affiliate Marketing Mastery<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>Improving community<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>On track<\/p>\n 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!<\/p>\n 11. I will easily create and launch a new Amazon product and transparently share the process by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>1 product<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>0 products<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>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.<\/p>\n 12. I will easily publish at least 2 new books on Amazon by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>2 books<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>1 book published<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>On track In Q1, I published a new book titled 67 Morning Ritual Habits For Your Body, Mind And Spirit<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n 13. I will easily improve Morning Ritual Mastery<\/a> to help members get results while continuing to optimize my funnels by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>Improve Morning Ritual Mastery<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>Haven't started<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>Haven't started I haven't started this goal yet as I'm currently focused on completing a few other important ones.<\/p>\n 14. I will easily hire a new social media marketer to help me grow my social media by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>1 new social media marketer<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>1 new social media marketer<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>Achieved!<\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 15. I will easily hire an assistant to help support my lifestyle and business by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>1 new assistant<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>1 new assistant<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>Achieved!<\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 16. I will easily hire an operations\/project manager to help manage Project Life Mastery by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>1 new project manager<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b><\/strong>0 new project manager<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>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.<\/p>\n 17. I will easily publish at least 150 videos on the Project Life Mastery YouTube channel<\/a> by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b><\/strong>150 videos (37.5 per quarter)<\/p>\n RESULT:<\/b><\/strong> 132<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b><\/strong>On track<\/p>\n This quarter, I published 38 new videos on the <\/span>YouTube channel<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>podcast<\/a><\/span>. I've been consistently publishing 3 videos per week, sometimes more, and would like to continue this habit.<\/span> 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.<\/p>\n 18. I will easily publish at least 200 articles on the Project Life Mastery website by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b>200 (50 per quarter)<\/p>\n <\/b>RESULT: <\/b>117<\/p>\n <\/b>PROGRESS: <\/b>Behind<\/p>\n This quarter, I published 35 new blog posts, which you can find right here on the Project Life Mastery blog. <\/span> 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.<\/p>\n 19. I will easily host at least 12 Life Mastery Accelerator<\/a> monthly mentoring sessions by December 31, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n GOAL: <\/b>12 (3 per quarter)<\/p>\n RESULT: <\/b>9<\/p>\n PROGRESS: <\/b>On track<\/p>\n This quarter, I hosted a 3 trainings total on the Life Mastery Accelerator. They were called:<\/p>\n Life Mastery Accelerator now includes 33 incredible video trainings and more than 62 hours of content. This is the only training program where I go DEEP into my best self-development strategies for each area of the Life Mastery Blueprint: health, mindset, emotions, relationships, money, career, lifestyle, spirituality, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n To learn more about the Life Mastery Accelerator, CLICK HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n 20.
