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

Welcome to my first Quarterly Goals Report for 2019!

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 previously called this my Monthly Goals Report, but for 2019 I decided to try doing a Quarterly Goals Report instead.

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 Quarterly Goals Report for Quarter 1 of 2019. It’s my hope that you can take away something to inspire you in the pursuit of your own goals.

MY 2019 GOALS BREAKDOWN

I’m now going to go into each goal that I committed to for 2019 in detail and share exactly where I’m at with each. For complete context, check out the original 2019 goals and resolution video blog, and my previous Goal Reports.

Every quarter, I may add or modify some goals as well – I've learned that flexibility is important throughout the year, as there's always new opportunities or adjustments you have to make.

Before I dive into the 2019 goals I originally set, I want to first share with you some NEW GOALS that I achieved that weren't even on the list.

NEW GOALS FOR QUARTER 1

I will easily create and launch the Mastermind Cheatsheet: 7 Steps For Surrounding Yourself With Success by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 new book launch
RESULT: 1 new book launch
PROGRESS: Achieved!

In Q1, I created this Mastermind Cheatsheet to reveal what I believe to be one of the most important secrets to success.  It's what ALL of the most successful people in the history of the world have in common.

My team and I put a lot of work into developing this funnel and cheatsheet for you to benefit from.  Enjoy!

I will easily create and launch the Project Life Mastery Global Community On Facebook by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 new Facebook group launch
RESULT: 1 new Facebook group launch
PROGRESS: Achieved!

In Q1, I launched the Project Life Mastery Global Community on Facebook!  This is a private Facebook group for those that are committed to life mastery and want to be apart of a powerful community of like-minded people.

HEALTH & FITNESS GOALS:

1. I will easily eat clean at least 6 days per week to create optimal health, energy, vitality, and physical fitness by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Eating clean 6 days per week
RESULT: Eating clean 6 days per week
PROGRESS: On track

Since the beginning of 2019, I've been extremely focused on mastering my health and have been consistent in eating clean 6 days per week!

I've been primarily on a ketogenic diet and a gut-healing protocol that my naturopath has put me on.  So far, it has resulted in me feeling the best I've ever felt and my body has leaned out quite a bit.

Want to know what I typically eat in a day for unstoppable energy?  Read this article and watch this video to find out (this is when I'm not on the ketogenic diet).

2. I will easily detox for at least 7 days to support my body in optimal health and vitality by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Detox 7 days by the end of 2019
RESULT: 2.5 months detox
PROGRESS: Achieved!

I kickstarted 2019 with a gut-healing detox program that my naturopath put me on, which has lasted 2.5 months so far!

We did several health tests to identify anything in my body that I could improve or optimize.  The tests included:

• GI Map DNA Stool Analysis
• Comprehensive Organic Acid Test
• ParaWellness Research Comprehensive Test
• DUTCH Test: Dried Urine Test For Comprehensive Hormones
• Genos DNA Test

From these tests, we identified a few things for me to pin-point in healing with modifying my diet and supplements.  The biggest ones we've been tackling have been systemic candida and leaky gut syndrome.  Unfortunately it can take months, even years, to heal leaky gut syndrome, which is why I've been on this detox for so many months.

I've been on a pretty advanced supplement protocol and have been doing coffee enemas almost daily to help accelerate the healing process.

While I was originally planning only a 7 day detox, I'm glad that I've taken more of a customized approach for my body rather than doing a generic detox that I've done in years past.  I plan on continuing this detox longer (until I travel to South America) to reap the full benefits.

3. I will easily do yoga at least twice per month to improve my overall flexibility and physical recovery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Do yoga twice per month
RESULT: Twice per month
PROGRESS: On track

I've been on track with this goal of doing yoga twice per month, however, I'd like to go deeper with yoga than I currently am now.

I've mostly been doing my own practice or watching guided yoga sessions online, which has been good – but not the same as being in a yoga class.  I'm proud that I've been on track here, but it's not ideally at the level I'd like it to be at, which means there's room for improvement for next quarter.

4. I will easily get to at least 10% body fat and have my abs showing and celebrate by doing a fitness photoshoot by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 10% body fat by the end of 2019
RESULT: 10% body fat
PROGRESS: Achieved!

In the first quarter of 2019, I've been incredibly focused on my health and fitness.  Through the detox I've been on, my body fat has reduced to around the 10% range.  I'm not able to measure this as accurately as I'd like (I don't have access to a DEXA scan in Panama), however, I know from past experience that around 10% body fat means your abs are really starting to pop!

I've scheduled a fitness photoshoot in April of 2019 and will continue training hard to prepare for it.

FINANCIAL GOALS:

5. I will easily save or invest at least $1,500,000 USD by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: $1,500,000 USD
RESULT:
PROGRESS: 

So far for 2019, I've saved and invested $333,158 USD.  While this is still a large amount, it's actually a lot less than what I'd normally save and invest, due to having to make sure I have the funds available to pay taxes for 2018.

I'm having a huge tax bill for 2018 that I'm paying right now, which is over $1,000,000 due to departing Canada in 2018.  When you become a non-resident of Canada (and other countries, like the USA), there is a departure tax which is based on capital gains of all your assets as if you've sold them.  This was a big process that required getting a formal evaluation done of my businesses and assets in Canada, then determining the tax I'd have to pay.

So far in 2019, I've been investing more into stocks – especially during some of the market drops in the US markets.

I've shared my $3.5M Stock Investment Portfolio in the past, so you can 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.  In 2019 I've been more focused on buying in the US markets.

MISSION & BUSINESS GOALS:

6. I will easily participate in sharing the Amazing Selling Machine and my ASM Fast Track Bonuses to help support people in building their own Amazon business by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 launch
RESULT: Sharing ASM throughout the year
PROGRESS: On track

In Q1, I've been sharing the Amazing Selling Machine (ASM) and my incredible bonuses for those that are looking to start their own Amazon business from scratch.

ASM is the best Amazon training program I've come across and is what started Tatiana and I's journey selling physical products on Amazon.  I'm passionate about their program, which is why I happily share it with those that are looking to start.  So far in 2019, I've been sharing ASM throughout my content and promoting any webinar trainings that they're hosting.

I don't have all the details yet, but I believe they'll be launching a brand-new course later this year (ASM11), which they always give existing members free access to.  One thing that makes them the best is that they're constantly improving and making the course better for their members.

CLICK HERE to learn more about the Amazing Selling Machine.

If you're interested in joining, get my $7,000+ in bonuses for FREE.  CLICK HERE to find out how to get them.

I currently have my Online Business Mastery Mastermind events scheduled in July and December of 2019 and they're both almost sold out!

8. I will easily re-design StefanJames.com by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Redesign StefanJames.com
RESULT: Site improvements made
PROGRESS: On track

In Q1, I was able to make some updates to StefanJames.com – however, we haven't started the official re-design process yet.  It's something that will be started later in the year once I complete some other projects that are more important.

9. I will easily create and launch Mastering Book Publishing to help publishers make money online by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Create a rebranded book publishing course
RESULT: In process
PROGRESS: On track

I've been working on developing a brand-new publishing course, which I don't want to reveal the name of quite yet (it'll be a surprise!).  I'm happy with the progress I've been making here so far – I've been testing a lot of book publishing and marketing strategies lately, which I'm excited to share.

This course will likely cost more money than Mastering Book Publishing does – however, existing members will be getting the new course for FREE (along with a few other perks).

10. I will easily improve Affiliate Marketing Mastery to help members get results while continuing to optimize my webinars and funnels for Affiliate Marketing Mastery by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Improve Affiliate Marketing Mastery
RESULT: Improving community
PROGRESS: On track

In Q1, the biggest improvements we've made to Affiliate Marketing Mastery has been starting to improve our community.

We hired a full-time community manager (who is still getting trained), that will be helping to improve the experience of our Facebook group and the value everyone receives there.  We're in the process of adding new ideas that will help members, such as ways for members to collaborate together and support each other more to growing their online brand.

GOAL: 200 (50 per quarter)
RESULT: 45
PROGRESS: On track

This quarter, I published 45 new blog posts, which you can find right here on the Project Life Mastery blog.

I'm a bit behind on this goal (5 short for Q1), however, I'm happy about what I've published so far and the quality of content that my team and I are producing.

GOAL: 12 (3 per quarter)
RESULT: 3
PROGRESS: On track

This quarter, I hosted a 3 trainings total on the Life Mastery Accelerator. They were called:

The 4 Archetypes Of Self-Mastery: King, Warrior, Magician, Lover

Finding Your WHY: Unlocking Your Driving Force

How To Invest Your Way To Wealth And Financial Freedom.

GOAL: 12 (3 per quarter)

This quarter, I hosted a 3 trainings total on the Online Business Mastery Accelerator. They were called:

MIND, EMOTIONS & SELF-DEVELOPMENT GOALS:

23. I will easily read at least 12 books to continue to learn and develop myself in all areas of life by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 12 books (3 per quarter)
RESULT: 3 books
PROGRESS: On track

I’ve read 3 books so far in 2019:

• Just Breathe: Mastering Breathwork
• 50 Self-Help Classics
• Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions

• A Life Coach who has been helping me to increase my levels of performance
• A Naturopath/Health Coach who has been helping me optimize my health and body
• A Tantra Coach who has been helping Tatiana and I cultivate tantra practices into our relationship

I've always been a huge believer in coaching, as it's one of the most important things that has helped me progress in my life to where I am today.

RELATIONSHIP & SOCIAL GOALS:

32. I will easily do at least 12 sessions with my Tantra coach to continue creating more intimacy, love, passion and powerful multi-orgasmic experiences by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 12 sessions (3 per quarter)
RESULT: 1 session
PROGRESS: Behind

Tatiana and I started working with our Tantra Coach again in March and we've completed one session so far.  I'm a bit behind on this goal as we started working with her late, but we'll be caught up in a matter of months as we work with her bi-weekly.

33. I will easily do my Relationship Ritual with Tatiana at least once per month to continuously ensure we’re meeting each other’s needs and creating a passionate love affair that is legendary by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 12 relationship rituals (3 per quarter)
RESULT: 3 relationship rituals
PROGRESS: On track

Every month, Tatiana and I engage in a ritual together that allows us to ensure we have an outstanding relationship.

During this ritual, we review our relationship vision, goals, and bucket list, as well as check in with each other on the 6 human needs and 5 love languages. This proactively grows our connection and communication, and we have found it keeps our relationship forever extraordinary.

If you'd like to learn how to implement a Relationship Ritual into your relationship, check out the training that Tatiana and I did inside the Life Mastery Accelerator.

34. I will easily plan a romantic, fun or adventurous date night with Tatiana at least twice per month by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 24 date nights (6 per quarter)
RESULT: 4
PROGRESS: Behind

Tatiana and I like to make sure we're each planning a date night for us once a week to add more romance, variety and excitement to our relationship!

However, we are actually behind on this goal – our week away at the Traffic & Conversion Summit and a few other work-related instances got us behind on this.  We're not so much concerned about being “perfect” with this goal, as we often over-achieve on it when we're traveling or in different phases, but we still like to do our best to maintain this ritual.

35. I will easily socialize at least once per week with friends or strangers (in-person, Skype or phone) by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Socialize once per week
RESULT: Socializing once per week
PROGRESS: On track

I have a tendency to go into “work mode” at times and cut myself off from the world when I'm super focused, but overall I've still been able to maintain progress on this goal for Q1.  Most of my communications with friends is online these days using Skype, since I travel so much, which makes things difficult.

36. I will easily take off Saturday and Sunday from work (exception during events) to allow myself to rest, recover, have fun and create balance in my life by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: Take weekends off work
RESULT: Only sometimes
PROGRESS: Behind

In Q1, I struggled with this one for March as I've been extremely motivated and laser-focused on some goals that I'm excited about!  How can I help myself?

I'm okay with this right now, since I have some amazing opportunities coming up for me and I already have a vacation planned in May that will allow me to recharge and take time off.

TRAVEL, FUN & LIFESTYLE GOALS:

37. I will easily travel to South America for at least 3 weeks and enjoy at least 7 days fully off work by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: 1 amazing journey
RESULT: 0 amazing journey
PROGRESS: On track

This is currently scheduled for May of 2019.

SPIRITUAL & CONTRIBUTION GOALS:

41. I will easily fund at least 3 new schools to be built with We.org by December 31, 2019.

GOAL: $50,000 donated to build 3 schools
RESULT: $0 donated in 2019
PROGRESS: On track

I haven't made any donations yet in 2019, as I'm prioritizing paying my taxes for 2018 first and taking advantage of some investment opportunities.  However, I'll be making these donations later in the year to continue to support my mission of building schools.

Right now I'm in the process of planning an Africa trip this year to Kenya with We.org to build a school as well.
