Goals? Or Fantasies?

YOUTUBE  📚 THE READING LIFE  📚  PATREON

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

Yes, my handwriting is terrible. Like a child’s, really haha.

But I get a LOT done, and in this image you’ll see my calendar every day until the end of the month:

I like the “EVERY SINGLE THING DONE!” at the end :)

Anyway, chicken scratches aside, those entries represent the MAIN things that I absolutely, categorically MUST DO each day if I want to accomplish my main goals for May.

You’ll see a lot of introductions to authors, a lot of backend work (updating my sales pages and newsletter welcome sequences, etc.

You’ll see plenty of front-end updates too, such as to my social media pages, and new course videos inside Time Mastery.

This is something I didn’t do last month, and I think this lack of clarity really held me back.

The above looks complicated, but really it’s only 4 main things each day that I MUST get done to hit my main goals.

Doing something similar can work for you too.

You have monthly goals. Alright, good. That’s a start.

A GREAT start, actually.

But now what?

When are you actually going to get them DONE?

Where are they in your CALENDAR?

Because if they’re not in your calendar…

They’re just fantasies.

Fantastic day today, and tomorrow’s going to be just as good, if not better. I can feel it.

I’ve been getting some great responses from some very smart, accomplished authors who may be working with me to promote their books on my Instagram, which is great for my business, great for them, great for my followers - perfect.

The podcast was fun to record today too. It was with my friend Will, known as KnowleDJ (pronounced “Knowledge”), a Vegas DJ who’s toured the world with The Backstreet Boys, Ariana Grande, and more. Plus he LOVES books and LOVES to read, so we had a great convo.

Not sure when it’ll come out, but I’ll let you know for sure.

That being said, it’s 4:34AM here and I have got a BIG day tomorrow, so I’m going to leave it here. Work hard today, have fun, help someone who could really use it, and make today GREAT!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
