I am one of many people who was stuck in a puddle. I would set a lot of tough goals in the beginning of the year and then not meet them 🙁 . Also I would not do anything that is easy because “that’s too easy”.
And over years I have created this impression on my wife that I take up a lot of things but don’t finish it. This year, I want to change it. To do that, I am going to take a risky approach (that I think will help).
I want to put my honor (& some money) on the line. Make it a public contract. I will list down my 2023 goals below. If I don’t achieve them by end of the year, you guys can think of Kevin as a loser who doesn’t get things done and also stop following my blog. I will also send out a $200 gift card to a random subscriber (giving out money really bites me, so I am hoping this would work).
I will also update my website quarterly (starting Q2,2023) to show my progress.
Okay, now that we have basic rules out of the way, here are my 2023 goals:
- Start a website – get a domain name, host a website and start writing.
- Write 15 blogs (I am trying to improve my written English & general writing skills)
- Read at least 24 Annual Reports from the watchlist – I had created a watchlist of businesses that I wanted to study. I want to study as many as possible but I hoping to at least read 2 a month.
- Read 24 books – Read anything I like. This should not be a problem for me, but I am trying to stay consistent.
- Look through earnings of $35k – I will write a detailed blog on what is “look-through earnings”. For now, just consider it as passive income only from investment earnings (Earnings per share) and dividends.
If you have read up to this point. Congrats, you have contributed to the social pressure I was looking for. Also if you rooting for me to fail at my goals and want to enter in the pool to win $200, subscribe or send me your name.
Big Disclaimer: This is not a trick to add subscribers. I have not monetized my website (I cannot and I am not planning to). If you are uncomfortable with subscribing, you can also send me your name. I am keeping a list of names, of individuals who think I will fail at my goals. My wife has already subscribed. She thinks she has a high chance of winning $200.
