Well, like it or hate it, the single thing that successful entrepreneurs have in common is writing down what they want to achieve, their goals, their aspirations, in lists.  If creating a list of your own aspirations is the only thing you take away from me, then I have truly succeeded in paying it forward.
I’ve already shared with you a list of some of my accomplishments and things I am proud of in 2013, let me now make public my list of my targets for 2014; in no particular order, but each carry with it the determination to make it happen. I’m okay with being held accountable for them too, so by this time next year go ahead and ask me to report and I’ll be happy to. So here goes; the Mahmood 2014 New Year’s Resolutions List:
- Maintain 85 kgs as max weight (today I’m 88 kgs)
- Go to gym 5 times a week
- Read one book a month; 4 fiction novels in the year
- Dedicate Sunday and Wednesday nights for no TV
- Take an online course in something
- Organise a photography exhibition
- Make a short movie
- Start a business that has nothing to do with technology or video production
- Start the GB Saudi branch in the Eastern Province
- Get a comprehensive health check; get Frances to get one too
- Get massage every 3 months
- Get one more international client for GB
- Take a one week holiday every 6 months without kids
- Run the Athens half marathon in May
There you have it. And here’s how I’ll report on the achievement of these: I’ll create a KPI dashboard and publish it here to show progress, or things I need to pay more attention to. Feel free to poke me if I don’t.I’d love to know your thoughts. Please share them in the comments. Together, we can encourage each other to achieve better things.
