with it. \u00a0I also continue to make passive income from several products that I sell on Clickbank that I started 4 years ago that continue to make me money on autopilot. \u00a0And finally, a large

and I've been implementing a new strategy for Kindle publishing, but primarily using my Kindle books to funnel into backend businesses that I have. \u00a0I've realized I can begin making MORE money on the backend from my Kindle books than I will on the front end, which has been very appealing to me. \u00a0I've begun teaching this new strategy in my Full Disclosure members area for\u00a0<a

June. \u00a0I have an investment property that I rent out every month \u2013 I don\u2019t make any passive income from it, it just covers my mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>I was amazed to see such a increase in my income during June, especially since I feel I didn't work that much. \u00a0One of the biggest reasons for the increase was I got paid out for some affiliate promotions I did a few months before. \u00a0But, this is the power of passive income.\u00a0 I've developed systems that all run on autopilot that continue to make me consistent passive income every month. \u00a0I also continue to focus on adding value to others and contributing, but for the most part, most of my video blogs are all automated too! \u00a0It's exciting to see how things will continue to increase for me by the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0I will easily have saved at least $100,000 by December 31, 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Result:<\/strong>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Goal Achieved!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I achieved this goal in May, which was much earlier than I expected. \u00a0I wanted to have saved at least $100,000 of liquid cash that I could have in my company, not including from the investments that I make every month. \u00a0Every month, I focus on investing much of the money that I earn into stocks, mutual funds, saving for real estate properties, as well as back into my business. \u00a0I always believed that it's not how much you make, but how much you KEEP. \u00a0Learning how to manage money has been an important\u00a0priority over the years that has allowed me to build my net worth to where it is today.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Business<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>5.

\u00a0The biggest goal that I'm most proud of was finally achieving my goal of competing in the WBFF fitness competition. \u00a0This goal required a massive amount of my time, focus and energy. \u00a0While I'm happy with the result and relieved it's over with, I left the event more inspired than ever to improve my physique. \u00a0My goal moving forward is to add some more lean muscle mass, while staying lean.<\/p>\n<p>This leads me to one of the biggest lessons I've learned in July, which is: \u00a0<strong>the moment you achieve a goal, you better immediately set the next one.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Often times, once we achieve one of our goals, our standards begin to drop. \u00a0I've noticed that in the past <a title=\"My Complete Journey To The WBFF Fitness Model Competition\" href=\"http:\/\/projectlifemastery.com\/my-complete-journey-to-the-wbff-fitness-model-competition-part-3-mission-accomplished\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">when I competed in the WBFF back in 2012<\/a>. \u00a0After achieving that goal, I ended up lowering my standards with my diet and ended up gaining too much\u00a0fat along with the muscle mass that I was aiming to put on. \u00a0The fact was, I didn't have a compelling enough goal immediately after achieving it, or a strong enough why.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, I've learned that I always need to have goals and make sure my WHY is strong enough so that I keep my standards high. \u00a0<strong>The training NEVER stops if you want an extraordinary life!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another lesson that I'm always reminded of is <a title=\"WHY You Need To Celebrate And Reward Yourself Everyday\" href=\"http:\/\/projectlifemastery.com\/why-you-need-to-celebrate-and-reward-yourself-everyday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CELEBRATING your success<\/a>. \u00a0We don't celebrate enough and we're often way too hard on ourselves. \u00a0I've noticed this with me in the past and I continue to work on celebrating all the little successes, as well as the big ones.<\/p>\n<p>I also want to reiterate another lesson that I've mentioned before, which is <strong>focusing on less.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, the biggest lesson for the month was experienced the day before my trip to Brazil&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The last week before my trip to Brazil I simply had way too much going on. \u00a0It was a stressful week, as I had photo shoots planned, filming planned, coaching and a fitness competition that I had to prepare for. \u00a0On top of that, I needed to pack and prepare for my trip to Brazil. \u00a0I miraculously pulled it off, which just proved to myself what I'm capable of. \u00a0However, all of the stress and overwhelm wasn't necessary for me.<\/p>\n<p>I had a powerful experience the day before I left to Brazil, which was I realized that I am required to have a travel VISA to enter Brazil. \u00a0Normally getting a VISA for Brazil would take 2 weeks, but I showed up at the Consulate of Brazil in Vancouver and I was able to convince them. \u00a0I desperately persuaded them to get me a travel VISA within a matter of hours, as I already had my flight and hotels booked for the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the person said <em>&#8220;No, it's impossible to get one that fast&#8221;<\/em>, I still persisted and told them that there HAD to be a way to get the VISA in an emergency situation like this. \u00a0Thankfully, someone at the office helped me out and I'm forever grateful to them for that.<\/p>\n<p>The lesson learned here is to first and foremost, <strong>always make sure you're prepared and ANTICIPATE the potential challenges that can happen.<\/strong> \u00a0Second, there is a lot of power in having faith, prayer, persistence, and taking massive action. \u00a0This entire experienced reinforced all of those important elements of life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It also reminded me the power of COMMITMENT &#8211; if you are truly committed, you can always find the way.<\/strong> \u00a0In my case, I could have given up when the person told me it was &#8220;impossible&#8221;, but I would not take no for an answer and my commitment is what made it happen.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, everything worked out and I safely made it to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>These are some of the biggest lessons that I stand out for me during July. \u00a0Overall, I enjoyed putting this Monthly Goals Report together and I look forward to doing one again for August. \u00a0I\u2019ve 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. \u00a0Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n<p><em>This page contains affiliate links.
