hey what's up life masters this is
Stefan James from project life mastery
tool Eagles report where every single
quarter I give you guys a detailed
update on exactly where I'm at with the
goals that I set for myself at the
beginning of the year now this has been
a process and a ritual that I've done
now ever since January of 2012 that was
the very first time that I publicly
shared and declared my goals with the
world here on project life mastery and I
believe in the power of goal-setting I
believe in the power of having a vision
and knowing what you want and being
specific and clear about it and then
creating the plan to make sure that you
can get there goal-setting has changed
my life and it's one of the reasons why
I've been able to accomplish and achieve
so much in my life and so I do this
video and I share this publicly to
hopefully motivate you and inspire you
to make sure that you got goals set for
yourself in your life not just for your
career not just for making money but in
every aspect of your life making sure
that you're pursuing life mastery that
you're improving your health your
relationships or spiritual well-being
your emotional well-being your business
your career making progress in all those
different areas of life I believe is
what's going to create the most
fulfilling life for you now goal-setting
is great but it's not enough you know
everybody can set goals but obviously
you have to make sure that you follow
actually take action towards your goals
and so that's why I've always had this
process called my goals reports the
goals reports and what you're watching
right now is a way for me to make sure
that I'm on track with my goals it's
checking in with the goals on a regular
basis because most people they set goals
and then they forget about them it's not
till the end of the year they've
forgotten about their goals and sure
enough they didn't make the progress
that they wanted and so I believe in
having a process whether that's every
month or every quarter where you
regularly check in with the goals that
you committed to and you check whether
or not you're on track you know we all
get off track but the important thing is
to make sure that you get back on track
that you are always reminding yourself
and making adjustments and doing what's
necessary to get back on track and to be
able to achieve what you set out to do
and I also believe in the power of
accountability
if you just set a goal but nobody else
knows about it but you the challenge
with that is that you can easily back
out of the goal you can break your
commitment and nobody knows about it
there's very little consequence the only
consequences that you're letting
yourself down you know it lowers your
self-esteem and your confidence in your
ability to set and achieve goals but if
you make a commitment if you set a goal
if you see other people this is what I'm
gonna make happen in my life and this is
what I'm committed to achieving and you
let other people know that now you're
not only just accountable to yourself
but you're also accountable to all these
other people and so it forces you to
follow through it creates pressure on
yourself to raise your standards much
higher than you ever could hold to
yourself other people can hold you to a
much greater standard and so by me
sharing this with you guys it forces me
to step up in my life to be the best
that I can be and hopefully I can also
inspire you as well through this process
to inspire you to set goals for your
life to make sure that you're checking
in with your goals that you did set or
commit it to you whether it's at the
beginning of the year or last month or
whatever that might be I want to support
you I want to be a role model an example
for you to make sure that you're making
the progress that you want to make now a
few things I want to share with you
before we really dive into this is
number one the goals that I'm going to
be referencing and talking about here
are the goals that I committed to you at
the beginning of the year but I've also
added goals throughout the year as well
so I'm not sure if you followed some of
my previous goals reports but I've
learned to make some adjustments to my
goals because my plans and everything is
kind of changed a little bit this year
different opportunities came up and I
really had to reprioritize
which is something that sometimes you
have to do you know you want to have
goals your goals are your intention it
gives you the direction of what you want
to focus on but at the same time you
can't be too attached to those goals
because sometimes when you're too
attached to something there could be new
opportunities that arise and if you
don't have that flexibility if you're
not able to adapt then you miss out on
those new opportunities and that case in
point of this is this year I set what my
goals were but then I got invited to
help Tony Robbins my mentor launched his
newest product and so I I decided that's
an incredible opportunity for me
and I needed to prioritize that above
some of these other goals that I said
because I knew that by achieving that
goal it would get me further ahead than
some of the other goals that I had for
myself so that's an example of
flexibility and then sure enough you
know I was planning to go to Europe this
year and you know had that planned out
during the summer time but Tony Robbins
invited me to go to his Resort and Fiji
and to spend time with him to mastermind
there with him and all these other
incredible entrepreneurs and so I
changed my approach I was flexible it
wasn't attached to going to Europe you
know I realized okay well this is a
higher priority for me instead a better
opportunity and so I had the flexibility
for that and sure enough you know I end
up going to Fiji then New Zealand's and
Thailand and Singapore and now I'm here
in Cape Town South Africa so you know a
lot of things that I originally planned
have shifted and evolved but it's
actually for the betterment because I'm
also knowing what my long-term vision is
and the goals that I set the goals that
you set whether it's every year every
quarter every month those are just the
milestones those are just the the the
the levels that you got to hit that lead
you and contribute to you achieving what
your vision is for your life the big
picture that's five 10 20 years from now
that compelling future that you have
these goals are just the stepping stones
to help you get there but sometimes
opportunities come along that can help
you get there faster and easier and
better and that's why I always think and
having an open mind and flexibility is
power so I'm going to be referencing the
goals that I set the beginning of this
year but also some of that I added if
you want to follow along with my goals a
link in the description of this on my
website project life mastery comm I've
got a blog post that lists all these
goals out and goes more in depth into
the progress and the details of some of
these goals now some of these goals that
I'm going to talk about and I'm just
pulling out my phone here because I'm
going to read them here from you guys I
got on my Evernote app but the goals
that also they've already achieved this
year there's some goals for example I
achieved earlier January February March
I've already talked about them a few
times in the last schools reports so I'm
not going to go much in depth into those
ones more on what's been recent and
relevant I will go over everything but
I'm going
focus my attention a little bit more
what has been the more important goals
have been focused on in the last quarter
okay so if you want to follow along if
you're curious if you want to know more
the link will be in the description you
can see how I lay out my goals the
details of that and learn a little bit
more through that because I'm gonna
mention a lot of things here too that
you might not understand you might want
to know more about and you can just go
to the blog post and and find that so
that's that project life mastery comm so
I'm going to pull it up for you guys and
go through each of the goals and I
always make sure that I have my goals
categorized in each area of life that
I'm making progress in each area of my
life so I believe in life mastery that's
why my business is called project life
mastery it's an project and it's a
process that I go through to make sure
that I'm being the best that I can each
area of my life and actually before I go
into some of these goals let me just
kind of give you a general update over
this last quarter over this last quarter
has been one of the best quarters of my
life actually you know it's been really
incredible it's been a lot of traveling
it's been a lot of fun really enjoying
my lifestyle right now most of you guys
know that having an online business
several online businesses that I built
up over many years that gave me the
freedom to be able to travel to live
this laptop lifestyle that as long as I
have my computer or a phone or internet
connection that I can run an opera at my
business and so you know right now I've
been in travel mode right now I've you
know I am kind of like homeless in a way
because I just live out of my suitcases
and stuff and with Tatiana and we travel
all over the world and we get to explore
and be in these incredible places and
really enjoy life but also grow our
business and and really get experience
the the spice of life in the variety
that is available for us and so over
this last quarter there's been a lot of
traveling that's been probably the
biggest priority in our life right now
over this last well this overall so far
this year I think now this is my 13th or
14th country that I've now visited and
by the end of this year it's gonna be 16
countries that have travelled too so
that's a lot that's more than I've
traveled ever before my life in a year
and there's obviously challenges with
that but it's also been incredibly fun
and rewarding it's a part of my life I'm
always gonna look back upon and just
feel so grateful and have so many great
memories and experiences
and growth that of course I experience
from this as well and so that's been the
biggest priority for me I'd say over the
last quarter you know obviously going to
Fiji and spending time at Tony Robbins
was pretty incredible right now we're
working on supporting a big launch with
the amazing selling machine so this is a
course that teaches people how to start
selling on Amazon it's known as ASM ASM
11 it's the 11th of version of this
course and so this is something I've
been also preparing for because I want
to make sure that I share this
opportunity with as many people as
possible because selling on Amazon has
changed my life and Tatiana's life and
my my family's life my friends and my
followers people that have shared this
with I believe in it so much and it's
one of the best opportunities right now
to leverage the power of Amazon the
number one online retailer in the world
that I've been promoting ASM for years
but they got a new course it's better
than ever and I'm sharing it with as
many people as I can
I'm an affiliate for ASM as well and
I've also putting together some
incredible bonuses and you know things
that I can do that just over deliver
that's gonna blow people away and it
gives them an opportunity for me to
share my expertise and my support that
can help them also achieve what it is
that they want and so I've been working
on that too that's been a bit of a focus
with myself and my team to make sure
that we're organized with that and you
know that we're putting a lot of content
videos all this great stuff to be able
to help people with that but also just
overall it's going to again give you an
overall before I go into the specifics
also my health has been a really high
priority for me right now too and that's
been one of the challenges when you
travel so much sometimes you're always
travelling around you're always in a
different environment it's harder to
find the health food places and get into
good routines but you know after all
this travel that I've done I've gotten
pretty good at it now I'd say and so for
me I'm in great shape right now but
training about five days a week at the
gym and you know eating fairly clean
overall as well so I'm making really
great progress there feeling strong
feeling fit and then otherwise my
relationship as well is always important
always a high priority as well so that
with Tatiana growing and nurturing that
that's an overall just kind of what's
going on with me but with that being
said how about we just dive right into
the more specific things that I'm
focusing on okay so let me go into
health and fitness goals first goal is
I'll easily clean at least 6 days per
week to create optimal health energy
vitality and physical fitness by
December 31st 2019 I would say if I were
to be honest with myself and you know
really this process one thing that's
really important for me is just being
transparent and honest because you have
to be honest with yourself with your
goals you can lie to yourself you can
delude yourself you can make up stories
and excuses but that's only hurting you
I believe and so I'm really just being
transparent here with this there's some
goals that I'm doing really well with
that I'm ecstatic about other goals I'm
struggling with other goals not as well
and so you know the purpose of this
process as well for that is you know if
I am slacking on a goal right I can
check in say okay what why am i slacking
why is this not going as well as I want
what do I need to do better what I need
to change what can I learn from this so
that I can make sure I'm making better
progress and that hopefully is something
that you learn to do and have that
awareness self-awareness of your life
and who you are and how you're showing
up that's what's gonna help you grow and
get better at achieving your goals
because you should learn from every goal
you should learn from every goal that
you succeed in and everyone you fail or
you struggle with the challenges that
you face and that's what allows you to
get better at this process so and this
is not really specific to this goal but
this goal I'd say if I were honest I
might say about four to five days a week
and I haven't been tracking it really as
specifically as I as I normally would
but because of the amount of traveling
that I'm doing on there's been times and
like for example certain weeks where you
know I'm you know eating nice going out
to nice restaurants and not really
eating the best foods for myself for a
few days a week for example maybe one us
in Fiji or you know different parts and
everything and then there's also other
times where I'm like really dialed in
and I'm like for example here in Cape
Town and really dialed in eating super
clean and doing a lot better so I would
say on average though but four to five
days per week so this is something that
I can improve but I feel one thing I've
learned is just a routine is really
important so being here in Cape Town
South Africa you know I I know where the
health food places are the store the gym
membership already got signed up for
that and so I can get into like
consistency because I do enjoy
boy eating the same foods every day I
look at food as fuel it fuels my body
and you know I don't mind eating the
same thing so here in Cape Town I can
get my health you know juice shots uh my
juices and my green juices and you know
you know all the the clean foods that I
need that can really help me the most so
I am getting back on track with this but
I'd say overall four to five days per
week number two is out easily detox at
least seven days to support my body and
optimal health achieve that actually did
a four month detox earlier this year I
already talked about that before but it
was working with my naturopathic doctor
on really optimizing my health so I've
already achieved that goal I'll easily
do yoga at least twice per month to
improve my overall flexibility and my
physical recovery by December 31st 2019
this one I've been on track with it
hasn't been as consistent like days or
weeks type of thing
but at least twice a month is what I've
been doing with yoga and a lot of deep
stretching too sometimes for example
after my workouts I'm spending quite a
bit of time doing some deep stretching
and that's been always really important
for me just because I feel so much
better I do a lot of weight lifting and
physical activity and even just kind of
being in from the computer quite a bit
too that it affects your posture and
your body so for me that's always been
important then I feel like I've been
pretty on track with that haven't been
able to go to like yoga classes which is
something I'd like to do more but
overall it's been good okay next goal is
I'll easily get to at least 10% body fat
have my ABS shown to celebrate do
fitness photo shoot I achieved that
earlier this year too when I was doing
my detox right now I'm not as lean as I
was then but I'm always kind of hovering
around like 12% body fat or so sometimes
a bit higher sometimes a bit less okay
those are my health goals let's dive
into financial goals I'll easily save or
invest at least 1.5 million u.s. dollars
by December 31st this is a goal that
I've now over achieved on just achieved
at this last quarter in fact this is a
rough rough numbers by the way but about
2.1 million u.s. dollars is what I've
been able to save and invest and really
one of the biggest advantages that I
have right now is the fact
I'm in a very tax friendly jurisdiction
most of you guys know last year I left
Canada became a non-resident of Canada I
became a resident of Panama which does
not have any taxes on your foreign
income and I make all my money outside
of Panama so I don't pay any personal
taxes but also I set up a corporation in
Singapore which I pay taxes in Singapore
but it's 17% it's a lot less than Canada
in most other countries and so because
of this it's been you know I planned and
strategize for this a lot so that I can
be in this situation where I can really
save and invest more I can save money on
taxes and I have more that I can save
and invest so I can really set up my
financial future and it'll really
benefit me for the rest of my life
really so this has been great and
obviously I have a very high cash flow
business several online businesses
several streams of passive income you
know everything from investment income
dividends to affiliate marketing to
books and e-commerce to coaching and
events and many different things that I
do my own courses that I'll bring in
income and I've got a small lean team
and not much overhead that it gives me
the ability to be able to save and
invest a lot now did not take me you
know overnight getting here if you go
pack in my goals reports in 2012 you can
see where I was then and see where I am
now but it's been a process of building
a business that's the power of an online
business and really what it can provide
for you because you have a global impact
are not limited just a one little area
one little neighborhood you can reach
the entire world and there's just so
much incredible opportunity out there
that if you really work hard and commit
yourself the sky's the limit of how well
you want to do and how much you want to
make so this you know I've still going
to be saving and investing a lot more
right now in terms of investing I you
know I've shared and many times in the
past about my investing philosophy am i
investing portfolio the stocks that buy
and everything like that right now my
stock portfolio has been doing okay
there's been a lot of volatility in the
market and there's a lot of predictions
of recession that's gonna be happening
either it happen whatever but most
likely 2020 2021 is where a lot of
people predict but at the most most
economists or rock
so for that you know if kind of shifted
my strategy a bit I mean I do still buy
stocks
I like dividend paying stocks and some
growth stocks as well but I buy stocks
when there's a dip in the market so for
example here we are in October you know
I think early October the first date a
few days or whatever there was a big dip
in in the stock market so it's a buying
opportunity for me to buy more of these
great companies that I love at a
discount so I do buy at the dips I'll
put you know twenty thirty forty
thousand dollars to kind of build out my
positions a little bit more but at the
same time I'm preparing for a potential
recession I don't want to have all my
money in and just stocks like that I've
also been buying bonds more specifically
like ETF exchange-traded fund bonds that
don't really grow much but can at least
give me some return by providing
dividends for me every quarter more
government bonds than corporate bonds
because corporate bonds will get
affected a lot by a recession and then
also I have you know a lot of money in
some fixed income investments like GICs
which is you know more of a Canadian
thing but the things that just kind of
provide some interest it's not the best
return but I'm getting some interest
something from my money because I really
want to make sure that I have a lot of
cash available that if there is a
recession then I can really capitalize
that and get a lot of stocks bought at a
cheaper price and I do have some REITs
real estate investment trusts as well
they've been buying as well just to
build up my positions in the real estate
market just kind of rebalancing my
portfolio a little bit just so that I'm
well positioned if there is a recession
I can take advantage of it and I'm also
still benefiting from some of the growth
that is happening before recession could
potentially happen so that's kind of
like my strategy and what I've been
doing there but I've been pretty active
with my investing I checked Yahoo
Finance every day and I'm just always
aware of the the trade you know the
trade war between the US and China and
how that affects things I'm just very
aware of the economy and everything
right now and I think that's important
to do as an investor is just making sure
that you have that awareness and you're
educated and you can take advantage of
those times
okay let's dive into mission and
business goals how easily purchase
to pay insuring the amazing selling
machine ESM and share my bonuses my
fast-track bonuses to support people so
that's actually happening right now
right you know I've been sharing ASML
throughout the year but now they have
the ESM 11 course which I'm really
excited about at the time of this video
is actually going on if you want to
learn more about selling on Amazon learn
more about ASM which is the best course
out there that teaches you how to do it
I'll have a link have a link to that in
the blog post with my goals that you can
check it out if you want to learn more
but really excited about that
it's it's you know by far the best
course but I'm really excited to see now
the new changes they've made because
they update the course every year and
they're always on the cutting edge and
they're always making it better and it's
not even just a course that they're
selling its mentorship it's the way I
kind of describe it is that you want to
build a business you want to achieve
financial freedom most people they're in
the jungle and they have no idea how to
get to the treasure
all right they're in the jungle and they
get lost they're getting attacked by
animals they get confused to get
frustrated they get angry and most
people they give up because it's really
hard to navigate through this jungle
you've never been through it before you
can take the wrong turn you can lose
time you can lose money there's some
risks involved in that that's most
people that's most people they're trying
to build their business you know
consuming YouTube videos or blog post so
they're trying to figure it out on their
own you not that you can't succeed doing
it that way you can but you're gonna get
beat up you're gonna have a lot of
bruises and wounds and you know it's a
challenging process to try to do that on
your own amazing the sella machine the
way I describe it is yes you're still in
the jungle you're still gonna you know
get bit by mosquitoes you might get
attack you might make mistakes and all
that sort of stuff but amazing selling
machine is the map so now you have a map
that leads you to where the treasure is
so you can avoid the pitfalls and the
wrong turns and the mistakes that most
people make because they've already made
it the trainer's ASN their mentors
they've already made those mistakes
including myself that we can tell you
hey don't go that way go this way here
watch out for this this is a big mistake
you can avoid and so it helps you get
there a lot easier and faster and I also
describe ASM
that if you get lost in the jungle you
can press a button and you'll have a
helicopter that will come and help you
rescue you and help provide even further
guidance and that's what ESM is because
it's not just the map they provide
mentors and coaches that are also
experienced sellers that can help you as
well so obviously you're gonna get to
the treasure a lot easier and faster
than you ever will on your own and why
would you try to go it about at your own
when there's other people that have
already been there and done it and it
can help you right so that's really what
ASM is and that's my metaphor I guess
for describing it to you okay so that's
happening right now let's move on to the
next goal okay so next school that I
have here is how easy hosts at least two
online business mastery mastermind
events do you be able to intimately help
people build their online businesses so
I've gotten already one in July which is
an amazing events this is the event that
I do twice a year to help intimately
coach and work with people to build
their online business it's a way that I
give them coaching and feedback myself
and Tatiana and there there's maybe
about 12 to 15 people that come to these
events I have one coming up in December
which is now sold out and then I have
one in January of next year
that's almost sold out as well so they
do sell out fast
I don't really promote it or talk about
it that much is because they sell out so
fast but if you are interested go to
project life mastery comm slash
mastermind excuse me project like master
comm slash masterminds you can learn
more learn more about it there or again
I'll link to it in the blog post
okay next goal is I'll easily redesign
my Stefan James comm website made
improvements to this website but I
didn't redesign it I didn't I haven't
done what I thought I was going to do at
the beginning of the year so this is a
goal it's kind of on track or making
improvement improvements but it hasn't
also been the highest priority there's
been other priorities that came up that
are more important so this is something
I'm okay just you know what if I don't
achieve it this year that's okay and
really what I do with these quarterly
reports is I really reprioritize because
I look at my goals the goals that I have
here some of them are achieved some of
them I'm working on but some of them I
just know I'm not going to achieve this
year and I really look at my list and
say okay what's most important for me to
focus on and achieve this
here that's gonna make the biggest
difference in my life and I direct my
focus towards that other goal is if I
have to reset it again in 2020 I'm okay
with that but as long as I get done the
most important goals that's really what
I try to focus on the most so that one
is probably gonna be more of 2020 goal
now is they launched my new publishing
course it's called mastering book
publishing as well as mastering book
marketing there's actually two courses
this has been a big work-in-progress
I've been a perfectionist with it
because I want it to be great and with
this right now all the content the
trainings are created for this brand new
course this is gonna replace my K money
mastery course so all of the course the
trainings are done but what has happened
now is now I've been creating this new
members area it's called project life
mastery University which I've been
working with this company with and it's
gonna be incredible it's maybe I'd say
70 percent done right now but it's
basically a membership site that's gonna
have all of my courses in it and there's
a gamification set up so you can win
different achievements and badges as you
go throughout the course and there's
quizzes that you can take it's just it's
incredible it's gonna be one of the best
if not the best out there so I've been
really putting a lot into a lot of time
a lot of money a lot of investment going
into this tens of thousands of dollars
just the membership membership site
alone but it is going to be incredible
and because of that this has been
getting delayed and then on top of it
I'm also working with an agency to help
me with some of the marketing stuff as
well and so originally I was hoping to
launch this early this year but with my
travel schedule and all these other
things it has been getting delayed and
I'm kind of dependent on some other
people with this so I'm hoping that it
could be available in November but I
think November honestly is not gonna be
the best time either and I've learned I
don't want to rush it I don't want to
just like you know do something for the
sake of just trying to achieve a goal
I'd much rather do it the right way and
make sure that it benefits everyone the
best possible so I'm probably not gonna
rush it and try just try to get it out
this year just because it's a goal that
I you know want to achieve I want to do
it the right way and even better than
than ever before so probably be
something like in January
I'm really hoping to be able to launch
it but it's not easy creating courses
you know most people some people want to
create courses like you start with
affiliate marketing and start with and
do all these are the things first you
create a course when you are an expert
and when you have the resources you can
you know create the right members area
you have a customer support team like
there's a lot of logistics to creating a
course and that's why I don't create
that many but I'm just really trying to
improve everything that I'm doing right
now all my courses and just trying to
