Day 85 – Setting OKR Goals and Not Sleeping

Play episode

Hey everyone, welcome back to my daily grind towards becoming a millionaire. It’s Day 85, and I’m here to share the latest in my journey. Although I missed yesterday’s update due to sheer exhaustion, I’m back with renewed energy, even if it means working through the night.

Building the ‘Future Millionaire’ Website

Exciting developments are underway! I’ve started building the ‘Future Millionaire’ website, a digital portfolio to document my journey. It’s a place for you to check in and track my progress. This project has me buzzing with excitement and working around the clock.

Refining My Daily Planner

I’ve tweaked my daily planner to focus on OKR (Objectives and Key Results) goals. This approach, which I learned during my marketing stint with Texas Roadhouse, helps set specific, measurable, attainable, and trackable goals. It’s not just about setting goals but breaking them down into achievable key results. You can check out the refined planner here.

The Power of Focused Goals

I’ve realized the importance of focusing on one major objective at a time. Juggling multiple objectives can dilute efforts and hinder progress. I’m learning to channel my energy into one goal, achieve it, and then move on to the next.

The Daily Hustle

Despite a demanding schedule, I managed to create three videos and a live stream in just a couple of hours. This efficiency feels great! I’m also keeping up with the small, daily chores like laundry and dishes. It’s all about balancing work, personal life, and progress towards my goals.

Dealing with Challenges

Life isn’t without its struggles. Today, I had a challenging conversation with my ex about empathy. It made me think about where my focus should be. As someone on a relentless journey to success, I have limited bandwidth to deal with external issues. It’s a tough balance to strike, and I’m still figuring it out.

Prioritizing Tasks

Learning to prioritize tasks is crucial. Not every task has the same impact on your goals. I’m focusing on the ones that directly contribute to my key results, like growing my YouTube subscribers or securing brand partnerships.

Book Recommendation

I’m revisiting “Measure What Matters” by John Doerr. This book on OKR goal-setting has been a game changer for me, especially in understanding how tech giants like Google achieve their objectives. It’s a must-read for anyone serious about goal-setting.

Future Focus

As I continue to build my platform, I’m narrowing down my objectives. Whether it’s achieving a subscriber milestone on YouTube, enhancing my website, or growing my community, the key is to focus on one objective at a time.

Reflecting on Success

As I look back on today, it’s clear that success is a mix of hard work, strategic planning, and self-awareness. Whether it’s editing videos, building websites, or understanding my own limits, every step is a learning experience.

Looking Ahead

Tomorrow might be a quieter day with work commitments, but the journey continues. I’m keeping my goals realistic and focusing on a few key tasks. Remember, it’s not about how much you do, but the impact of what you do.

Join me as I keep pushing towards that million-dollar mark. Let’s keep grinding, stay focused, and turn our dreams into reality. See you tomorrow for Day 86!
