My August 2018 Monthly Goals Report

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

Mastery of all things comes from setting and attaining goals. Goals get achieved through accountability.

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 call this my Monthly Goals Report. 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 August Monthly Goals Report. It’s my hope that you can take away something to inspire you in the pursuit of your own goals.

My 2018 Goals Breakdown

I’m now going to go into each goal that I committed to for 2018 in detail and share exactly where I’m at with each. For complete context, check out the original 2018 goals and resolution video blog, and my previous Monthly Goal Reports.

FINANCIAL GOALS:

1. I will easily make $3,500,000 CAD in revenue, while working less and positively impacting millions of peoples lives by December 31, 2018.

GOAL: $3,500,000 CAD ($291,667 CAD per month)
RESULT: $115,441 ($2,609,491 CAD total)
PROGRESS: ON TRACK

August was a lower than average income month for me of $115k, mostly because I received a significant amount during June ($764k). However, I'm still on track to achieve my goal of $3.5M Cad and currently have about $900k CAD to go!

It might seem impressive that I generated over $115k in a single month, but it’s important to remember that I didn’t get here overnight. It's taken me years of hard work, focused learning, and consistent effort to build multiple online businesses and income streams. Most importantly, I believe that the money people earn is just a reflection of the value we add to other people’s lives. If you focus on adding massive value and helping people, you will be rewarded. This is what I continue to focus on every day, and what I’m proudest of. With that mindset, the money takes care of itself.

This income is comprised of a number of businesses and income streams that I have, such as:

2. I will easily have at least $6,000,000 CAD in investment assets (cash, stocks, bonds, ETF's, real estate, cryptocurrencies, etc…) by December 31, 2018.

GOAL: $6,000,000 CAD
RESULT: $6,070,717 CAD (approximately)
PROGRESS: Goal Achieved!

Woohoo! In July, I reached my goal of having over $6,000,000 CAD in investment assets! This amount includes cash, stocks, bonds, ETF's, real estate, P2P loans, and cryptocurrency. It does NOT include the value of my businesses, as that's a bit more complex to determine and would require hiring an evaluator. From here, I'll continue making smart investments and growing my investments long-term so I can reach the $10M mark (which I believe I can achieve in the next 2 years).

I recently shared my $3.5M Stock Investment Portfolio on YouTube and my blog, sharing 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. This year, I’ve begun to invest in some US companies — primarily tech stocks like Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Alibaba, Tesla, Shopify, and others in the tech space.

MISSION & BUSINESS GOALS:

Life Mastery Accelerator now includes 20 incredible video trainings and more than 35+ hours of content.

The Online Business Mastery Accelerator now includes 22 informative video trainings, with 40+ hours of additional content.

This month, I published 13 new videos on the YouTube channel, iTunes podcast and on the blog.

13. I will easily have at least 600,000 YouTube subscribers on the Project Life Mastery YouTube channel by December 31, 2018.

GOAL: 600,000
RESULT: 570,000 (rounded)
PROGRESS: ON TRACK

The Project Life Mastery YouTube channel continues to grow, gaining thousands of new subscribers each month. I credit my consistent improvement in video content creation, plus the massive value I try to offer with each video, to this success and intend to continue on this path toward even more dramatic future results.

14. I will easily reach at least 14,000,000 views (1,166,666 views per month) on the Project Life Mastery YouTube channel by December 31, 2018.

GOAL: 14,000,000 views (1,166,666 monthly views)
RESULT: 1,445,141 views
PROGRESS: BEHIND SCHEDULE

While I'm happy that this month the channel got over 1.4M views, we're still behind on achieving this goal. I just try to focus on what I can control, which is publishing quality content and then will let the views take care of itself.

I'll continue to focus on publishing quality content and better optimize our traffic strategies.

16. I will easily reach at least 1,000,000 podcast listeners (83,333 listens per month) on the Project Life Mastery podcast by December 31, 2018.

GOAL: 1,000,000 listens (83,333 monthly listens)
RESULT: 58,300 listens (rounded)
PROGRESS: BEHIND SCHEDULE

I have mixed feelings about this goal. On the one hand, I always feel grateful to reach the size of the audience that I reach — to impact so many lives is a privilege and I never forget that. On the other hand, I would like to see this number grow a little more quickly. The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement, and as we improve the quality and promotion of the podcast, I believe we will hit this goal by the end of the year.

GOAL: 12 months of consistently following the protocol.
RESULT: 6
PROGRESS: Goal Achieved!

In June, I got the results back from a metals hair analysis test and it showed fairly low levels of mercury and lead – hooray! This means that what I've been doing has worked, which involved following the Andy Cutler Protocol, using coffee enemas, saunas, and a variety of other methods.

Last year I was diagnosed with mercury and lead toxicity, which made me decide to focus on detoxing my body of these substances. You can learn more about my Mercury detox here.
