CHAPTER XV: NEW DRASTIC GAMEPLANS

“I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.” Stephen R. Covey

Part I: Fastlane Progress

Specialized Labor:
T
his has to be my least-performing month in terms of writing and publishing. I only created 1 article.

Medium May Stats.webp

Specialized Skill:
Still figuring out how to get over this rut. As a consequence, I've barely made any progress whatsoever, have signed no clients, and it seems that all my effort so far has just been in vain. However, I treat this venture as a marathon, not a sprint, perhaps this mindset is working against me.


Part II: Counterpunches/ Accomplishments

EXECUTION (Inputs & Outputs)
Foundational Job:
140 Hours = $5,867 (Gross Income)

Specialized Labor:
1 Article (Total: 267) = $35 (May's Pay)

Specialized Skill:
10 Hours = In Progress...

MEANING & PURPOSE
- $50 Donated to another charity.

BELIEF
- 57% Completion of one book that focuses on my current problems

DISCIPLINE
- 3x/Week Workouts

Part IV: May's Highlights

Even though I have tripled my income compared to 1 year ago, I'm not satisfied with the slow progress I've been making for the last several months. Deep down I know I could've put more effort, if said otherwise I would be lying to y'all.

As a result, I won't be taking the month off to visit my family just like I did last June so that I can concentrate on my 1-year goal. Which is to go from $4k-$6k to $12k-$18k+ , which seems like a far-stretched goal , but when I do accomplish it, it will become an essential checkpoint in my entrepreneurial journey.

I will be testing out different gameplans to execute for the month to achieve favorable or desirable results.


Part V: Goal-Setting

Short-term:

June's Objectives (14 Days left)

  • Specialized Skill: Sign 1+ Client
  • Specialized Labor: Publish 30+ Articles
Medium-term: (12 Months left)
  • $15k+/month by July 2024
Long-term: (4 Years left)
  • Become a Millionaire by 2026-2027

In addition, I only do or say what I think will work or currently works for me or where I personally lack; the monthly updates are primarily based on how I choose to respond to whatever this game called life decides to throw at me personally (actual real-life events). What I do obviously doesn't apply to everybody.

I might've or may give advice by accident or request only, or until I become a Legendary Contributor, this is the reason why I'm currently only active a couple of days here every month. Thanks in advance!
