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 October and November 2015 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 last year, 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 2015 Goals Breakdown
I’m now going to go into each goal that I committed to for 2015 in detail and share exactly where I’m at with it. Also, be sure to check out the original 2015 goals and resolution video blog and my previous Monthly Goal Reports to compare my progress.
Health & Fitness
1. I will easily weigh 160 lbs with 10% body fat by December 31, 2015.
Result: 156 lbs
Previous Month: 154 lbs
I've been making slow and steady progress towards my goal of weighing 160 lbs, however it doesn't seem like I'm close enough to achieve this goal by December 31st. While I've been training with weights 5 days per week and eating healthy, I haven't been on top of this goal as I need to be to achieve it.
I've noticed my standards aren't as high as they previously were. I'm happy to gain muscle and with how things are going, but am clearly not committed enough to make it happen. If it was, I'd be tracking my meals and proportions carefully and pushing myself harder. I'll raise my standards for the final month of the year and continue to push hard towards this goal, but I need to either change my procedure or set a goal I'm more motivated by.
Here's two 2 video blogs that share my exact weight loss diet plan and my weight loss workout plan in detail, if you're curious to know my plan for fat loss.
2. I will easily complete a 7-10 day cleanse using The Total Wellness Cleanse by December 31, 2015.
Result: Goal Achieved!
I started my juice cleanse in August and will carry it forward into September, for a total of 15 days.
My goal was to originally do the The Total Wellness Cleanse for 7-10 days. However, earlier this year I watched a great documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead on Netflix. I've juiced for years in the past, but never considered doing a juice only cleanse. I got really inspired and decided to give it a try.
During the cleanse, I drank only juices (90% green juice) and had Udo's oil everyday. I did 4 colon hydrotherapy sessions, as well as some light exercises. I incorporated some of what I learned during The Total Wellness Cleanse.
Overall, I felt amazing during the cleanse. It was a great reboot for my body. I plan on sharing details of my experience in an upcoming video blog.
Financial
3. I will easily make at least $1,000,000 ($84,000 per month) by December 31, 2015.
Result: Goal Achieved!
October: $138,712.46
November: $239,190.83
I'm happy to announce that I've reached my goal of earning over $1,000,000 for 2015! In fact, it's now significantly more than $1,000,000, as I've had some big payments come in, as well as expect more big earnings in December 2015. I've also been able to take advantage of some good investments, trades, and foreign exchange.
I knew I'd achieve this goal if I launched everything that I set out to this year (based on the goals below) and took massive action. I've improved my business drastically, all of the operations, the marketing, building a team, and reaching thousands of more people than I ever could've thought possible. I'm very blessed and grateful.
While achieving this financial goal is a great victory, the biggest victory that I'm most proud of is the difference I've been able to make. I've always believed that receiving money is the result of providing massive value to others. The rewards I receive in life are a result of what I've given. In order to have made over $1,000,000 this year, I've reached literally thousands of people all over the world with my products and services. I've now reached millions through my YouTube channel, podcast and blog. It's pretty amazing the impact!
What comes with making $1,000,000 is a new identity, proving to myself what is possible and shattering previous limitations I might have had on myself. I'm excited to continue to grow down this path and make an even bigger impact!

4. I will easily grow my investment portfolio to be over $700,000 in my holding company by December 31, 2015.
Result: Invested $40,000 ($600,000+)
Last Month: $560,000+
After reading Tony Robbins' book, Money: Master The Game, I've been super motivated to invest more of my money. I'm not a fan of having money sit around and do nothing, so I believe learning how to properly manage and invest your money is an important skill. In September, I invested another $40,000 in my trading account in my holding company. My plan is to continue making monthly investments and to grow my net worth massively.
I first started investing since I was 18 years old – just contributing $100/month to a mutual fund, as I learned about the power of compounding from a book called The Wealthy Barber. Today, I'm more focused on investing in stocks and index funds, as well as trying to diversify my portfolio as much as possible.
Business
5. I will easily launch my own physical product on Amazon using the Amazing Selling Machine by February 28, 2015.
Result: Goal Achieved!
In May, I officially launched my Amazon product, L-Carnitine, to my blog. Up until this point, it was doing around $3000 in sales. I saw earnings climb up to around $3500 in May, which is great news. I've since launched my 2nd Amazon product which is also doing fantastic, as well as have been working with many other Amazon sellers and partnering with a few to continue to build Amazon businesses.

6. I will easily launch my Kindle Virtual Assistant training program by March 31, 2015.
Result: Goal Achieved!
I successfully launched the Kindle Virtual Assistant Training Program in March 2015!
It was a great success and people have been loving it so far. It is only available to members of Mastering Book Publishing.
One of the best things about it was that I decided to donate 20% of all sales to this Project Empowerment charity campaign.
The Kindle VA Training Program teaches how to outsource, automate and systematize 95% of the Kindle publishing process. It also provides step-by-step training videos and documents that you can send to your Virtual Assistants, to train them on almost every task of Kindle publishing. This makes it VERY easy, as you can now grow your Kindle business without having to do any of the work!

7. I will easily launch and do my first ever Kindle live mastermind event in Vancouver with my brother by April 30, 2015.
Result: Goal Achieved!
We successfully hosted the first ever Kindle Mastermind event in March, having Mastering Book Publishing program members fly in from all over the world to take their Kindle publishing business to the next level!
We had people fly in all the way from Australia, Japan, San Francisco, Florida, Ontario, etc… These people were already getting awesome results from Kindle publishing with K Money Mastery, making thousands per month, but wanting to take it to an even higher level!
The event was a big success and it was fantastic getting a chance to meet some amazing individuals. It was hosted in my penthouse on the 48th floor – take a look at the picture below:
8. I will easily create and launch my own self-development program with Clickbank by December 31, 2015.
Result: Goal Achieved!
I'm happy to announce that I've launched Morning Ritual Mastery on December 1st, 2015! Even though this should technically be included for December, it's worth mentioning now because I'm posting this as of December 2nd. I'm very excited about this new program, as it's going to change thousands of peoples lives! I've also decided that I'm donating 100% of the profits towards my ChangeHeroes campaign of building a school in Kenya.
9. I will easily launch a new high level, advanced Kindle training program by December 31, 2015.
Result: Goal Achieved!
I successfully launched K Mastermind, a new advanced training program for growing a 6-figure online publishing business. It was a great success and we had a lot of members join, with amazing feedback! We closed the doors on it and currently have no plans of re-opening it again in the future.

10. I will easily launch 30 CreateSpace books of my top selling Kindle books by December 31, 2015.
Result: Goal Achieved!
I achieved this goal in April 2015, launching over 30 CreateSpace books! I have a team that has converted my Kindle books into paperback and run this entire project for me, which has been super cool. Not only that, but they're nearly all doing well, making good passive income!
To learn more about publishing books to CreateSpace, check out the Full Disclosure section of Mastering Book Publishing.
11. I will easily launch 20 audiobooks of my top selling Kindle books by December 31, 2015.
Result: Goal Achieved!
I achieved this goal in April 2015, launching over 25 audiobooks on Audible. They're nearly ALL selling (except for 2 recipe books) and it's been worth the effort.
To learn more about publishing audiobooks to Audible, check out the Full Disclosure section of Mastering Book Publishing.
12. I will easily hire a new employee/assistant to help me grow my business by March 31, 2015.
Result: Goal Achieved!
This has been one of the biggest goals I've been working on lately and finally happy to say it's been achieved! I've been building a solid team in Project Life Mastery, which has been helping me grow at a much faster pace.
First, I hired a local personal assistant here in Vancouver. Her name is Darina and she's been helping me out immensely. She doesn't exactly work in my business, more so in my personal life. For example, I recently had her organize a fun activity amongst my friends and I. I've also had her book massages for me, chiropractor appointments, etc… So this has been a huge win.
Second, I recently hired one of my members Mastering Book Publishing to do some Facebook marketing for me. Right now it's been going pretty good, he's been going through some training, but we haven't had a chance to implement anything yet. None the less, I am optimistic about the future of working with him!
Third, I hired a video editor to start editing my YouTube videos, upload them and optimize them. This has been helpful for me, as it helps save me time and I can focus more on the creation of videos and then hand them off to someone else.
Finally, I am bringing in a “manager” to run the operations of my businesses. He's a close personal friend of mine and someone that has a lot of internet marketing experience. This isn't 100% official yet, but we've started working together part-time and I'm hoping it will turn into a full-time position within the next month.
I'll share more about my team in a future video blog, but these have been some huge strides of progress for my business!

19. I will easily participate in a 10-day silent meditation retreat with Vipassna by December 31, 2015.
Result: Cancelled – conflict with schedule
It turns out I won't be achieving this goal this year. 🙁
I'm not too bummed about it though, because I've been given instead an amazing opportunity to travel down to El Salvador with ChangeHeroes and build a house for the locals there! I've always wanted to do something like this and I'll be funding the house myself personally through a charitable contribution! It's going to make a BIG difference for a family and I'm so excited to head down there in December. You'll hear more about it closer to the date.
However, there is no excuse for not achieving a goal. I need to be better at planning and organizing my schedule in the future and commit fully to it.

My girlfriend and I completed this goal in June. The Ultimate Relationship Program was awesome to go through with my partner.

Highly recommended for any couple looking to enhance their love and passion!

Contribution:
25. I will easily build 2 schools with Change Heroes by December 31, 2015.
Result: Raised $10,000 for 1 school, $4000 on 2nd
I'm happy that I raised the $10,000 for my Change Heroes campaign to build a school in Ecuador! I want to thank those that have supported this cause so much, as it's going to make a huge difference.
Next, I'm working on funding 2nd school in Kenya. I've already contributed $4,000 to it and am donating 100% of the profits for Morning Ritual Mastery towards it for December.
I also donated $3000 to another campaign in March, called Project Empowerment, as well as $3000 to building a house in El Salvador.
There's so many young children around the world that have no access to education or school. As a result, they are lacking basic skills such as the ability to read, write and be in an environment where they can learn/grow. They have no opportunities in life and it not only affects them on an individual left, but hurts their entire city and country. This is an area I'm passionate to make a huge difference in!
If you haven't seen the campaign yet, click here. I appreciate all support and contributions greatly!

Overall, I enjoyed putting this Monthly Goals Report together and I look forward to doing one again next month. I’ve 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. Thanks for reading!
