I have created a new and improved version of K Money Mastery which is called, Mastering Book Publishing!
Every month, I write a detailed monthly report about the progress that I'm making towards the goals and resolutions that I publicly stated on my blog earlier in the year. This is my February 2016 Monthly Goals Report, which goes over each goal that I set and the progress that I've made on them so far.
Since I started sharing my Monthly Goals Reports a few years ago, I received such an amazing response from people on my blog. People have been sharing with me how much I've inspired them or how helpful it's been for them by me openly sharing my progress. It's my hope that you can take away something from this report that will help inspire you to achieve your own goals.

My 2016 Goals Breakdown
I’m now going to go into each goal that I committed to for 2016 in detail and share exactly where I’m at with it. Also, be sure to check out the original 2016 goals and resolution video blog and my previous Monthly Goal Reports to compare my progress.
FINANCIAL GOALS:
1. I will easily make $2,000,000 in revenue by December 31, 2016.
Result: $133,411.60 ($255,764.68 total for 2016)
Last Month: $122,353.08
I had another solid month in February, generating $133,411.60 in revenue. There's nothing new to report that has significantly resulted in the increase, besides just increasing our marketing efforts and continuously taking consistent action on all fronts.
While it may be impressive that I was able to generate this amount of money in a month, it's always important to keep in mind that I did not get here overnight. It's taken me years of hard work, learning and consistent effort to build the multiple online businesses and income streams that I've developed. I also often remind people that the money you earn is merely a reflection of the amount of value that you've added to other peoples lives. If you focus on adding massive value and helping people, you will be rewarded for that. That is what I continue to focus on everyday and what I'm most proud of.
This income is comprised of a number of businesses and income streams that I have, such as:
- Online Book Publishing
- Information Products & Courses
- Mastering Book Publishing, The 24-Hour Book System, K Mastermind, Morning Ritual Mastery, Full Disclosure, VA Training Program, etc…
- Affiliate Marketing
- Sharing other courses, products & services
- Coaching, Consulting & Events
- Amazon Physical Products
- Miscellaneous Income Streams
- Google Adsense, Fiverr, Udemy, etc…
- Real Estate Investments
- Stocks
- Trading, as well as dividend income

2. I will easily have a $1,500,000 investment portfolio by December 31, 2016.
Result: $1,156,129.93
Last Month: $910,450.31
I made a significant transfer to my investment trading account during February and also saw a significant increase in the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange), which has resulted in nearly all of my investments going up.
My investment strategy is long-term and buying stocks that pay dividends. Right now, I primarily focus on investing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), since I benefit from the weak Canadian dollar and economy. Currently, my overall investment portfolio is down, however, I believe I've been able to benefit from it as I'm always buying when things drop and taking advantage of things.
The awesome thing about investing in dividend stocks is that I've been able to make a passive income of a couple thousand per month, as the stocks I invest in either pay a monthly or quarterly dividend. So I'm not only benefitting from any capital gains, but also receiving a passive income from my investments.
3. I will easily explore buying a new real estate property by December 31, 2016, and if the opportunity is right, close the deal.
Result: Just browsing…
In February, I continued browsing online to see what is available. However, the Vancouver housing market is extremely over-priced right now and it's somewhat discouraging me from investing in a property. I'll continue looking here and there, and again, if the opportunity is right, close a deal.
BUSINESS GOALS:
4. I will easily have at least 100,000 YouTube subscribers on the Project Life Mastery channel by December 31, 2016.
Result: 76,000+ subscribers
Last Month: 70,000+ subscribers
The Project Life Mastery YouTube channel has is continuing to grow, gaining over 6000 new subscribers during February. I've been consistently publishing new videos and also have benefitted from the authority of my channel now and all the hard work I've done over the years.
5. I will easily have at least 100,000 Facebook fans on the Project Life Mastery page by December 31, 2016.
Result: 66,939+ likes
Last Month: 66,000+ likes
The Project Life Mastery Facebook page has seen small progress in February, only gaining a couple hundred new likes. We haven't been utilizing any paid advertising for the channel lately and will be having upcoming discussions with my social media manager to see what we can do to continue to grow our page.
6. I will easily have at least 50,000 Instagram followers on the Project Life Mastery page by December 31, 2016.
Result: 20,200+ followers
Last Month: 17,500+ followers
The Project Life Mastery Instagram page has been continuing to grow and got some good momentum during February with 2,500+ new followers. We've continued to publish motivational, quality content on the page and utilizing some strategies to continue to promote the page.
7. I will easily have at least 50,000 e-mail subscribers by December 31, 2016.
Result: 48,000+
Last Month: 45,000+ subscribers
Over 3,000+ new subscribers during February and I expect to hit this goal in March. Once achieved, I'll be setting the next goal or milestone, being 75,000 or 100,000 e-mail subscribers.
I also have a plan to launch a new free video series soon, which I know will help explode the number of subscribers I have as well.
8. I will easily reach and impact at least 3,000,000 people on YouTube (views) and have a total of 6,500,000 views on YouTube by December 31, 2016.

Last Month: 330,000+ views
I'm committed to reaching as many people as possible and helping to positively impact the lives of millions this year. In February, I experienced some major growth in YouTube, with reaching over 340,000+ new views on my videos. This is exciting, as the more videos I publish, the more people I'm able to reach.
9. I will easily reach and impact at least 2,000,000 people on ProjectLifeMastery.com (unique visitors) by December 31, 2016.
Result: 90,508+ unique visitors (189,973 total)
Last Month: 99,465+ unique visitors
I saw a decrease of around 9,000 unique visitors during February. I haven't been focused on SEO enough to really analyze things and go over why that was, however swings are expected with SEO as Google is always tweaking their algorithms.
We've recently started using CrazyEgg to help track how visitors are using ProjectLifeMastery.com and are planning on doing some SEO tweaks soon to help boost the SEO of the blog.
10. I will easily publish at least 150 new video blogs on YouTube and ProjectLifeMastery.com by December 31, 2016.
Result: 21 video blogs (43 total)
Last Month: 22 video blogs
February was a consistent month, publishing 21 new video blogs. These video blogs were published on the YouTube channel, iTunes podcast and on the blog. I've continued to improve my ability to produce high quality content and have been putting a lot more focus on this. It's been a lot easier now that I've been building a team to help me run many of the other operations of my business, so that I can focus more on producing quality content.
In January, I launched the #AskStefan series, where I answer subscribers questions in video blogs. If you have any questions for me that you'd like answered in a video blog, you can learn more about how to do that here.
11. I will easily re-launch K Mastermind and help publishers grow their business to six-figures by December 31, 2016.

13. I will easily create and launch a new online business training program that will help people make make money online by December 31, 2016.

14. I will easily create and launch the new Life Mastery Toolkit that will help motivate and teach how to grow an online business by December 31, 2016.
Result: Videos recorded, yet to be released
I made this goal a priority in February, completing the filming of the new video series that I'm planning on releasing in March or April. I'm really excited about this, because I've put so much work into it and I know it will help change peoples lives!
15. I will easily launch 2 new Amazon products by using the Amazing Selling Machine by December 31, 2016.
Result: 1 new product launched
In January, I launched a brand new supplement through Life Mastery Nutrition on Amazon. It's a BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) supplement, which I'm very excited about. I've been taking BCAA's for years and it's helped me to build muscle and maintain muscle while leaning out. I'm very happy about the quality of this product and the positive reviews it's been getting so far.
In total, I have 3 products that have been successfully selling on Amazon through Life Mastery Nutrition. They are:
I'll be aiming to launch another Amazon product through Life Mastery Nutrition in the next few months.
16. I will easily be making at least $10,000 per month on Amazon by December 31, 2016.
Result: $5,000+
Sales are consistent around $5,000 per month, which is great. In February, we finished the Life Mastery Nutrition website and are now just starting to focus on more marketing efforts to really grow the brand and sales.
17. I will easily hire someone to run my Amazon business part-time by December 31, 2016.
Result: Almost achieved
I recently made a big hire to have someone in my business go from working part-time to full-time. This is a friend of mine who will be running many of the operations of my businesses, so that I can focus on creating more content and more ideas/strategies. I'm completely removing myself from the operational aspect of my business and just doing what I enjoy and am best at. This is a huge move for me which I believe will make a huge difference.
This person will be running part of the Amazon business, but we're not quite there yet to having him operate the entire business just yet. It will be a process of training and being patient.
18. I will easily hire a SEO person on my team to help SEO optimize my blog by December 31, 2016.
Result: Almost achieved
We just hired a SEO person to help with the blog, however I'm also looking to do an SEO audit soon to really improve the overall SEO of ProjectLifeMastery.com and to implement all the changes required. Until that is done, I will leave this goal as “somewhat achieved”. Hopefully things work out with some of the new hires!

28. I will easily get my PADI Scuba Diving License by December 31, 2016.
Result: 1/2 complete
In Phuket, Thailand, my girlfriend and I signed up for a 3-day PADI Scuba Diving course. We both got 90%+ on the exam and completed our first dive together, however, unfortunately we were unable to complete the course due to getting sea sick on the boat. I'm going to aim to complete this goal a bit later in the year, however, right now I'm not a fan of the ocean after the incident I had.

Result: Not consistent enough
I haven't been as consistent with this as I'd like, so I need to make sure I put more focus on this. Tatiana and I recently made some improvements to our bi-weekly relationship process, but a hectic February got in the way of doing it twice. No excuses, getting back on track!

I set up my campaign to raise $10,000 to build a school in Ethiopia and so far raised $329. I'm very involved in giving and contributing to many different causes that I'm passionate about in private, but the purpose of this campaign is to get OTHERS involved to give and become aware of the challenges that others face. Last year I built a school in Kenya and Ecuador, and this year I want to continue the momentum going!
