In the past 7 years since I’ve read the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, which I highly recommend, I was “trying” to make money, I was “trying” to break out, but as Nik Halik once said in a lecture I attended – “Trying is having the intention to fail”, he suggested to get rid of trying, and just DO whatever we say we need to do.
Another concept he introduced me which I wasn’t using until recently, is the concept of sharing your goals, and making your friends and family ask you from time to time what’s the progress, so lately I go around stating my plans for 2012 all over the place, and I actually get good suggestions from people.
For example, when I told my plan to my friend Igal how I intend to build my business, he told me that I seem too out of focus, and that if I am going to have that amount of tasks to focus on while having a day job, I will never be able to finish all of those tasks, so I limit my tasks to the important, which is btw a rule that Tim Ferris wrote in his book.
So what are my plans for 2012?
Business
It’s simple, I will focus on building 520 niche sites. Say woaa? 520? yes, it counts for 10 per week.
And the question you all are going to ask is.. “why do you need 520 niche websites?”, well, I did my math, and it seems that 1 out of 10 websites that I build actually make good money, 2 makes little amount of money, and the rest just fail.. So in 2012, I’m going to get a great income by beating the statistics, If only 10 percent of those websites do make money, and let’s imagine its “only” 300USD per month, then I’ve got myself 52 x 300, which is 15,600USD a month, at which time I can start building authority websites around winning niches and actually get much better results.
Another ventures I’m going to make are my link building service, which is link building velocity, on which I’m offering to build links in a way google wants, naturally and effectively.
I’m also building my own high pr web sites farm, so that I could rank my websites faster, I’ll write a post about high pr farm later on in the blog.
Personal development
Languages wise:
I want to finally know Spanish right, to study 500 Chinese characters since I currently can speak Chinese, but can only recognize about 150 characters.
I want to start study Thai in the end of the year, since I want to visit Thailand many times in 2013 and perhaps live there for a while.
Wealth wise:
Start a REAL saving account, one that is also in my mind, I had saving accounts before, but I broke all of them in order to have the trip of my life, next time I’m leaving Israel for a long term location independence journey I’m planning not to touch my savings, and have a special budget for it.
also, another thing I came to realize is that, while traveling in Asia can be cheap, I want to continue to my other goals, such as:
- Surfing in hawaii
- Surfing in australia
- Snowboarding season near Bariloche (Argentina)
I cannot complete this goals if I’m just depleting my resources, so next time I’m flying around the world, its with “shitload” of money, so it means I have to make significantly big wealth generation plan.
Its advised to put 10% of all of your earning every month into your “wealth account”, and in that account to only buy assets, such as real estate, or things that can be later translated into cash, but grow in value (woww I sound like Eban Pegan now), so once I’m debt free, I’ll start working on my wealth account.
Intelligence wise:
I want to read at least 40 new books, I think that its one of the main reasons I wasn’t on top of my game in 2011, I focused to much on doing and too less on studying.
Keep being up to date on the internet marketing world, see latest trends to better understand the market.
Body wise:
Eat healthier, unprocessed food,, I recently stopped drinking beer, I might drink wine but definitely not Shots.
Get back in shape using nutrition and sport, meaning I want to gain at least 6kg of mostly muscle weight.
Soul:
Be more happy, there’s a reason we are all alive, and it’s to enjoy life, so I want to come into peace with myself, and accept my reality that I’m not yet a millionaire, but I’m soon going to be 
Fun:
Go sailing with my dad, get some fish while I’m at it and cook it.
Get back into mountain biking, and enjoy the ride.
Watch many movies.
Make cool apps that make my life easier everyday.
Parties – Even my friends from my home town are a little lame since they all got a serious girlfriend so it makes their main weekend activity “Go to a cafe”, I’m going to still party on, I’ve got a friend who loves it so we’ll go hit the clubs, I’m not going to get any long-term girlfriend since I want to live abroad and it might sabotage my plan, but I am going to enjoy.
Well that’s all I could think of for now.
2011 is still not finished, but for me it has been a great year, I enjoyed all of the difficulties, studied from my mistakes, and I’m now moving forward.
Tomer
P.S – I got the job, it was only after another test in C# which took about 2 hours, I’m starting to work on the 18th of Dec.
