Show Me The Money!
Goal #6: By the end of February 2006 I have developed a Forex trading methodology that I feel comfortable using and am trading it with a live (real money) account. You can view my current strategies and demo accounts here.
I’ve been learning the Forex markets since September. I’ve looked at every indicator I can find, read hundreds of forum posts and websites, talked with traders, and traded demo accounts. Forex trading will play a large part of my income over 2006.
Exercise!
Goal #6: I’ve decided to roll all of my fitness goals into one large goal.
My body fat percentage is 10% or less on the first day of spring (March 20th). By the first day of summer (June 21st) my body fat percentage is less than 8%. My weight is at 140 lbs or higher due to muscle gain.
First I’d like to take a look into my past. I grew up with two wonderful parents. Both have been overweight nearly my entire life. My father is an excellent example of how being overweight can affect you physically.

Dietary Goals Completed
Goal #5: Change diet to a balanced and complete 6 meal-a-day plan, based on Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle COMPLETED!
This was the first goal I completed. After finding polyphasic sleep I decided that I needed to change my nutrition and excercise regiments. I’ve never been overweight but I knew I could improve on my diet. I ate 3 meals a day with 3 planned snacks in between. My diet was extremely high in carbs.

Self-made millionare here I come!
Goal #4: Between my personal net worth and the value of any companies I totally control I have a total worth of at least $1 million by the age of 30.
This goal is self-explanatory, despite being quite a challenge. I’m giving myself 6 years to earn $1 million. That’s an average growth of $166,667 per year! How is this possible? Well, I’ll address the breakdown of this goal into smaller goals in the future, as well as long term financial goals. I strongly believe this to be possible.
Polyphasic Sleep
Goal #3: Attempt polyphasic sleep for a minimum of one month.
One of the main factors that got me interested in self-improvement was polyphasic sleep. The basic defination of “polyphasic sleep” is simply sleeping more than once a day (hense polyphasic). The theory being that sleeping in more frequent, shorter periods is better for you than a single, “monophasic sleep” pattern in that your sleep requirements will be decreased. Think of it as similar to how eating more smaller meals per day increases your metabolisim.(1) I’ve always hated sleeping and when I found this concept promoting less sleep I became very interested.

Goal #2: Write a blog entry every day
Goal #2 is a simple one. Write a blog entry every day. In the unlikely event that I don’t have access to a computer I can write the entry on paper and type it up later.
Today’s items for sale:
Full size, USB, water resistant, roll up keyboard. $5
4 power strips, $3 each
Goal #1 – Sell one item a day
I will start my list of goals with a simple one. I will sell at least one item a day, mostly on eBay. We have so much excess in our lives, including belongings we never use. It is best to shed ourselves of these items as they are meaningless. Spend the money on something you can use!
First item: 14 DVDs. I have a huge collection of DVDs … that I don’t watch. It seems I always watch the same 20 or so movies over and over. The rest have been viewed once or never! I sold off a large portion of my collection months ago, a few box sets last week, and now some more individual movies.
