“He who is not courageous enough to take risks
will accomplish nothing in life.”

Muhammad Ali

Every year I set a long list of goals that I want to accomplish—some reasonable, others wildly ambitious. Over the past decade, this practice has brought about a profound transformation in my life, pushing me to grow in ways I never imagined.

 

This year, I decided to publicly share my 2024 goals by posting them on my website.

 

You may be asking…Why?

 

THESE ARE MY MAIN REASONS

1. I want to challenge you to join the ranks of those people who walk their talk.

2. I want to encourage you to approach your goals with greater courage and determination.

3. I want to show you how I set my goals and take action everyday to turn my vision into reality. By sharing my process, I aim to provide practical insights that you can apply to your own personal development and success.

4. I want you to embrace failure, because it is an important part on your journey to success. By sharing my challenges, I want to inspire you to persevere and keep trying until you achieve your goals.

5. I believe in the power of accountability—making my goals public creates the internal pressure I need to take massive action and achieve them.

Here is my list of goals for 2024:

As you can see, I categorised my goals into different areas, to ensure that I’m making progress in every area of my life and being balanced. I also always make sure that each goal is aligned with my ultimate life plan and vision. This approach ensures that every action I take is purpose-driven and connected to my ultimate vision.

 
I may also add more goals to this list as time goes on.
