Do you even find yourself so focused that you think you are an entirely different path and have things to change. Your day is productive, you make so many changes that you’re on a new path to life.
The next day hits you in the face and you’re right back to your old ways completely losing your path? Here I am. I got some thought about writing a blog, or journal during some quiet time this weekend that I registered a new domain name to do this, hubernews.ca. After I registered I thought I should check my list of domains for clarity. Low and behold, matthuber.ca is there, hmm I wonder what’s there? Holy shit… yup, fuck!
This is the journal I started, this is the thing I wanted to do almost one year ago… Makes me think I was here for that same reason, at this point in my day and life. Wow, just fucking wow.
For clarity sake for you, my reader, I am writing this for me. There’s some hope that it provides you some value but it’s purpose is for me. I don’t focus enough on me, and chances are you don’t focus enough on you. So, here I am writing. First, I re read my post from sept 4, 2023, then I read it again, and I read it again… Now I’m going to read it EVERY DAY for a month because I need to do this, almost a year apart I trip over the same thought, so here we are.
Let first do a quick flash of the last post and updates from it.
Reference from the last post Things I need to do:
Fix My Time… haha well fuck, haven’t done that yet, but I feel as though I’m finally here and able too… I recently read, and re-read a book by Dan Martell “Buy Back Your Time”… Spoke to me, and now people at work know it as ‘my bible.’ More about that later, but lets do a brief update.
1. Not for profits:
- MS Society – Stepped down, unofficially, but the only time I’ve spend on MS in the past year is the 2 day event. :check mark:
- CPRN – A whole 2 days this year at a fund raiser and have only even completed one exec meeting, can likely increase this a bit more to keep it alive, otherwise it’s basically on hold until I have more time.
- MADD – I saw value in it, I still do, and now it seems as though I’m stepping up to create more value. Likely president of local chapter in the coming weeks.
- CarShowNFP – Shut down, in final efforts of doing so, my time back, :check mark:
2. My Biz’
- TowCo – We contracted, we terminated, we reset at a leadership level. We started with EOS about a week after my last post and I haven’t spoken enough about it. Finally profitable after nearly 12 months of burning money. This is still my biggest time suck, but on the right path, building process for the teams to make their lives simple.
- ConsultingCo – reduced to 30 minutes/month, good, but may dissolve it if I can hand off the final pieces so someone who will enjoy it. Or perhaps I’ll hand off to my assistant
- GroupCo – No action here, low on my list, clearly low on all the partners list, no hard no foul
- TrainingCo – This is moving, my team is making progress, low on the list still, but making progress
- MarketCo – Continuing, but nothing crazy, so not a whole lot to report
Taking a moment to look at this, little to no action or death of 6 of the above 9 items. Likely all little time sucks or stress’ that don’t need to be there… Mental note.
3. Set Life Goals
Holy shit, reading my previous post it makes me sad… I’m a year older and I have not actioned any of it. I got busy, and because I wrote it down I checked it off. The book ‘the bible’ of Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell has told me to focus more on myself than work. It has also pushed me to use my assistant to do better with my time and to get more done in less time. I’m learning, I truly am. I have unload a lot off my plate to my PA (personal assistant) but have a long way to go. These goals are still the main goal… What a wake up call, I love that I’m reading this, and will make time to read this. It’s in my calendar for 30 minutes every day! EVERY FUCKING DAY!
- Retire by 40… Not going to happen, I can accept that, but I should have SIGNIFICANTLY more time by then.
- Determine Retirement (yeah no shit, gotta do that)
- Understand as defined what it means and make a plan to get there
- Lose weight, get in shape, whatever, DO BETTER… Have to start posting these results and progress, okay so here’s public goals
- Post weekly progress
- Track ALL calories consumed
- Work out of some form every day, walk, lift weights, run, crazy call at work, SOMETHING
- Time, my bloody time! Progress has been made in the not for profits, but this needs to continue with delegation at work! More to come!
Okay, running away, I’ll be back! Not in a year, at MOST a week!
