Happy February everyone!
This is my 2nd update of my goals this year! Check out below how I'm progressing toward my 2021 goals!
1) #52WeekChallenge - Weekly LinkedIn Lives
I was able to host 5 (FIVE!!!!) LinkedIn Live streams in January.
Below are links to each of them and make sure to check them out!
- Create S.M.A.R.T. Goals and my Goals for 2021!
- Why You Should Create Content with June Caloroso
- How to Get Job Interviews with Dr. Jeremy Gartner
- How to Maximize LinkedIn with Deanna Russo
- Infinite Possibilities in the Tech Industry with Phil Kasiecki
I also joined Jennifer Noelle Garibay on her Live about "Overcoming Your Fears".
I also created a new YouTube channel for all of my video content. I would appreciate it if you subscribe to it!

Upcoming in February, I have some exciting topics coming up! These include: "How to Find Your Passion", "What College Didn't Teach You About the Workplace" and "Unlock Your Core to Discover Your Potential"!
2) Learn a new language
I'm a big fan of learning new languages. I learned that people are more willing to open up to you and talk to you if you speak their native language.
In January, I hit 2 major milestones in the two language apps I use. I reached a 150 day streak in Drops and a 250 day streak on Duolingo!
I am using Drops to learn Cantonese and have learned 850 words since last August. I also practice Cantonese with my girlfriend and her family.
What language(s) are you learning or want to learn? Share in the comments!
3) Monthly fitness goals
My fitness goal for January was to hold a plank for 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I could not achieve this goal. I could never hold it for more than 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
But instead of completely giving up, I am passing this goal into February and modifying it. I will instead be holding a plank throughout the day for 5 minutes. It will take a few attempts, but all of the attempts added up will be 5 minutes.
My new fitness goal for February is to do 100 push-ups a day. Again, I will spread this out throughout the day and we'll see how much stronger I get!
How are you doing with your 2021 goals so far?
