Welcome to My 2023 Goals page.
Every year I set for myself a long list of goals I want to accomplish. I’ve been doing this for over 12 years now. And this year is no exception.
Setting ambitious goals is a great way to dramatically improve your life but also a great way of self-discovery.
Or as David Goggins said:
“I don’t know where my limits are, but I want to go there”
I set my goals in various areas of my life, such as: Business, Coaching, Personal life, Health & Fitness, Profile, and Value.
Since 2017, I’ve been sharing my goals publicly along with monthly updates on my progress.
You may be asking… Why?
THESE are my five reasons
- For those who are thinking of working with me, I want to show that I walk my talk.
- I want others to see me fail. Wait, what? That’s right. Failure is an essential part of progress. Pursuing ambitious goals never goes smooth. That’s part of the game. I hope that when others see me facing my challenges, they will drop the idea of perfectionism and get on with their goals and dreams.
- I want to inspire you to be more courageous with your own goals, and be more driven, committed and disciplined.
- I want to show you how I get stuff done, how I set goals and how I work towards them so you can apply it for your own growth.
- Lastly, when I share my goals with you all it creates the pressure and accountability I need (and want) to push myself. (Trust me, I don’t always feel like it either. But so what?)
