I have created a new and improved version of K Money Mastery which is called, Mastering Book Publishing!
Welcome to my second 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 2 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.
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 3 days per week
PROGRESS: Behind
During the first half of Q2, I was on a detox plan and eating very clean 7x per week. However, during the 2nd half of Q2, I've been traveling around South America and Africa, and so I haven't been able to eat clean consistently. I'd say that I've been eating clean about 3 days per week, which isn't ideal. Once I'm more back into a consistent travel schedule and routine, I'll be able to get back into a more consistent eating plan.
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: 4 months detox
PROGRESS: Achieved!
I kickstarted 2019 with a gut-healing detox program that my naturopath put me on, which has lasted 4 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.
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!
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: $670,463 USD
PROGRESS: On track
So far for 2019, I've saved and invested over $670,463 USD. While this is still a large amount, it's actually a lot less than what I'd normally save and invest, due to recently paying a departure tax to Canada for 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 Q2, 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.

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, 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.

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: 3 sessions
PROGRESS: Behind
Tatiana and I started working with our Tantra Coach again in March and we've completed three sessions so far. I'm a bit behind on this goal as we started working with her late and also have been traveling around South America and Africa during Q2, but would like to get back into this goal later.
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: 6 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 – some big projects and travel got us a bit behind on this goal. 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: Once every other week
PROGRESS: Behind
I have a tendency to go into “work mode” at times and cut myself off from the world when I'm super focused, or to go in “travel mode”, so I'm a bit behind on the consistency of this goal. 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 the beginning of Q2, I struggled with this one as I was focused on the big launch with Tony Robbins. However, for the 2nd half of Q2, I brought more balance back into my life and taking the weekends 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: 1 amazing journey
PROGRESS: Achieved!
In May, Tatiana and I traveled to Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. We decided that 3 months was more than we would've liked to spend in South America, we were comfortable with about a month visiting those locations.
Watch my Argentina and Chile Vlog.
RESULT: 1 amazing journey
PROGRESS: On track
RESULT: Cancelled
PROGRESS: Cancelled
RESULT: 7+ days off
PROGRESS: Achieved!

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