My Goals for 2021

Last year, I posted my goals publicly for the first time and managed to see the majority of them through (check out this article here if you want to see the results of 2020). As a reward to myself, I purchased a 1965 Fastback Mustang (one of my dream cars). To keep the momentum rolling into another year, I’m posting my goals once again.

My goals are even more ambitious than last year (which I previously thought were pretty ambitious), but having achieved most of them, I’ve decided to keep on pushing the envelope. I’ve also categorized my goals to make sure that I’m keeping a balanced lifestyle. In my opinion, there is no point succeeding massively in one area of your life, if it is to the detriment of other important things.

As one last aside, you may notice that many of my goals are to read books on various subject matter. I’ve gotten so much value out of the 30 books that I read last year, that I think this is ultimately the best strategy to achieve massive success. My success in recent years has correlated so strongly with the number of books I’ve read, that I’ve come up with a saying:

“The more you read, the more you succeed.”
