2023 Goal Progress - October

First goal update in a while. Lots of things happening in life right now so it’s challenging to juggle and improve on a lot of my goals at the moment. Still working towards them and they are going well. Only 2.5 months to the end of 2023 so will be doing what I can in the following months to improve. A few of them are a bit of our reach unfortunately, but happy with how they have been…

2023 Goal Progress - June

I know I missed a few months of goal updates – and the first time after starting in 2020… but a lot has been happening and something very exciting to share! There are ups and downs across my goals, but definitely on the upwards trajectory. The next 6 months will be very interesting to see! To see a more detailed breakdown of each goal and how I’m planning to achieve it, check out my Goals for…

2023 Goal Progress - March

A bit of a slow month for February. A few changes here and there but nothing particularly special to report on (which is the usual case for working towards goals haha). Business goals not where I want them to be – but working a lot on them and have hope for the near future. Haven’t been contributing to investment portfolio recently so a lot of the financial goals are fairly standard. No…

2023 Goal Progress - February

January is gone, and with it, some progress! Not as much as I’d hoped, but it’s early in the year and things are slowly getting there. I didn’t manage to hit a few of the larger goals as they are likely to take a lot of time, but hoping to be much closer by mid-2023. Happy with how things have been going so far and I’m excited by all of my goals (all of them are ambitious.. :P). I am enjoying…

Goals for 2023

Making this post a little late, but here are my goals for 2023! My biggest priority will be growing Nathan’s Mobile PT and I’m excited to see where I will be by the end of 2023. I also have other goals related to financial/wealth and health/fitness, but with a focus on a few key goals to work towards rather than a lot of smaller goals. This post will have my goals along with a a short…

2022 Goal Review

And that’s a wrap for my 2022 goal review! 2022 felt like a big year and I managed to achieve a number of my goals. The biggest area of growth was my business, Nathan’s Mobile PT. This became a priority for most of my year, which has been really fun and challenging at times, but I ended 2022 in a great position! While my priority was on my business, this drew priority away from other things. I…

2022 Goal Progress - December

2022 Goal Progress – December

Writing this almost in mid-December which means there is just over 2 until 2022 is over! Looking over my goals now, some of them definitely won’t be achieved, but I can put in some work now to put me on a better start in 2023. Speaking of 2023, I’m starting to think about what I want to achieve and what goals I’ll be working towards. I’m going to have a much larger focus on Nathan’s Mobile PT, so…

2022 Goal Progress - November

2022 Goal Progress – November

It’s insane that it’s already November (mid-November as I write this). I realise now that with only 1.5 months left of the year, some of my goals are very unlikely to be achieved (never say never though). Mostly my financial/wealth goals haven’t progressed as I’d hoped or planned for, but some things are outside of our control and also just require a bit more discipline. A few other areas I’ve…

This is amazing. It's so easy to go left, but going right is way more fulfilling 👍 Reposted from @visualizevalue "Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most." – Dr. Ann Vertel https://www.instagram.com/p/CkDIjtvvnbp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2022 Goal Progress - October

2022 Goal Progress – October

September was a pretty slow month. Not much is happening at the moment. The share market is still on a slow downward trend and my focus is just on saving money (to invest and save up for a new (used) car). Nathan’s Mobile PT is going along smoothly but I’ll need to review and assess the current business model and what we currently offer so it is a bit more self-sustaining. A few things to work on…

I Did Planks Every Day for 30 Days - INSANE Results

I Did Planks Every Day for 30 Days – INSANE Results

Something I’ve always been amazed about is how someone can hold a plank position over 8 hours.. It’s insane considering I can only manage about 1 to 1.5 MINUTES max. For the next 30 days, I’m going to be doing planks every day to see what happens. I’m hoping that a daily practice will improve my maximum time. I’ll have to look into some programming, but I’m planning on doing at least 3 intervals…

2022 Goal Progress - September

2022 Goal Progress – September

August has been pretty slow regarding finances. My initial goals/targets for wealth are slipping away quickly due to pretty high volatility throughout the year. My personal training business, Nathan’s Mobile PT, is growing at a steady pace and I’m seeing more consistent monthly revenue. I’m currently working on some 30-day challenges and wanting to get into writing up some older challenges to…

2022 Mid-Year Spending and Savings Update

2022 Mid-Year Spending and Savings Update

I haven’t been posting my spending each month as I have done previously. Primarily because I didn’t have a savings rate goal in mind. However, I have still been tracking expenses every month so I thought it would be a good idea to really assess where my money is going and perhaps make a few changes in the ending months of 2022. And I realise now that I definitely have to reel in the…

2022 Goal Progress - August

2022 Goal Progress – August

I didn’t think much changed in July, but looking at my finances in early August it’s great to see increases across the board! Most of my other goals are tracking along smoothly – and I now realise that some will be very difficult to achieve. It’s great that I’ve achieved a number of goals I originally set out already. Most of them I won’t know until the very end of 2022 whether I’ve achieved…

I was training for a half marathon personal best in September but with a slight injury and it getting closer and closer to the date I might have to abandon these plans and use the half marathon as a nice slow run to practise and find another half marathon a little bit later when I can get training back in. A little bummed, pain is in the medial gastrocnemius muscle of the right leg and hurts after even a short run at this stage. Need some decent rest. #running #pb #halfmarathon #injury #rest #train #goals https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgvwe6EvFwg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My weight loss and fitness plans are going very well for 2022 (started at top of peak 95kg) now around 85kg 👌 Training for a half marathon helps to get the running training in but probably more so CrossFit and the gym, and even more so focusing on smaller portion sizes and having less pasta and rice with meals #weightloss #goals #fit #progress #running #cardio #crossfit #gym #meals #nutrition https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgao-IcPrNL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
