Goals for 2022

So I wrote goals for 2022 in my daily journal. I didn't do it dead spot on 1st January, instead I took time over the few weeks in January, working on various areas of my life. Nothing is set in stone, goals can be modified to suit circumstances, but I created a framework to adhere to.

It is really useful for me, as it motivates me to push harder to achieve my goals. Since I am a spreadsheet person, some of my goals went into a personal spreadsheet together with a target numbers.

I set up some investment goals, which may have to be modified a bit depending on the outside world. Whatever I can control is being take care of. Things I cannot control, I have to agree with without moaning. I take reasonable risk taking into consideration my personal circumstances.

My circumstances are different from yours, so what works for me does not have to work for you.

There are, however, some things that are universal and can be applied to anybody.

1. Write your goals down with dates you expect to achieve them,

2. Don't try to fit in with other people. It's your life and your circumstances are unique to you.

3. Celebrate your little achievements. Give yourself a pat on the back, do something that makes you smile.

4. Review your goals regularly. Amend them, add new ones.

5. Find joy in any work you do for living. Do it to the best of your ability.

6. Constantly learn and self-develop.

7. Read/listen to podcasts.

8. Exercise.

The list is not exclusive, but it's a good start. It works for me. Hope it will help you too.

Being busy in a right way

It's been a long 18 months when I was so busy working on various businesses that I had to put blogging a side. I was learning during this time how to work to be efficient and how to attract money.

At the end of the day, we are in business to make money, to create wealth and to be able to contribute to society.

One of the things I learnt was: to systemize everything. Every single task. So I started applying it to my life.
For the first few weeks, even months the job was tedious and I couldn't see any results. But I kept on doing it.

I also got myself a mentor. You need to have a mentor to keep you accountable for your actions. To keep pushing you on your journey and to inspire you. There is no point in having a mentor who is on the same level as you are. You need mentor or mentors who are higher on their journey than you are. You need to look up to them, to be inspired by them, to take in their wise words and grow.

Two years ago, I made a decision that I would do whatever it takes to grow and inspire people to achieve their potential.

I decided to invest in myself to learn what millionaires know and follow their footsteps.

As the saying goes: "You are an average of the five people you spend the most time with.", I shifted people I started spending most time with. I started reading more self-development books, listening to self-development audios, podcasts, anything that speeds up my journey.

I started prioritizing tasks to be completed in a day by categories:

• urgent and important
• urgent but not important
• not urgent but important
• not urgent and not important

It is surprising how quickly my "to do" list shrank. I stopped wasting precious time on meaningless tasks. 

Our cash-flow improved significantly.
