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 October 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: $771,656.15 ($3,523,497.53 CAD total)
PROGRESS: Goal Achieved!
In October, I surpassed my goal of making $3.5M CAD in revenue with my businesses and investments! I'm two months early and have now surpassed what I made last year, which I'm happy about. What I'm MOST proud and happy about is the fact that I've been able to impact millions of people's lives in the process with my content and training, as well as enjoy the process and work less than I have before!
It might seem impressive that I generated over $771k 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:
- Online Book Publishing
- Information Products & Courses
- Affiliate Marketing Mastery, Mastering Book Publishing, The 24-Hour Book System, Morning Ritual Mastery, Online Business Mastery Accelerator, Life Mastery Accelerator, 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 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.
