Here's my report about my performance in January, looking at my regular monthly targets and my daily online profit target.

Regular Monthly Targets

Every month I track my performance over a set of target activities which are divided into several categories.

The number of categories and targets changes from time to time, but here are my current monthly performance categories:

1. Body (3 achievement targets)
2. Mind (2 achievement targets)
3. Money (3 achievement targets)
4. Lending/Giving (2 achievement targets)
5. Blogging (5 achievement targets)
6. Affiliate Marketing (4 achievement targets)

Here's a photo of my Blogging targets with results for each target to the right:

Green circle = 100% achieved = 2 points

Red slash = 50% or more achieved = 1 point

Red cross = 0-49% (i.e. not started in most cases) = 0 points

I calculate the score then convert it into a percentage.

Adopting A DOPT

Starting this year, I have also set a "Daily Online Profit Target" for each month of the year, with the daily profit target increasing month by month.

I check my total sales and expenses (if any) every day and make a note of the result using a chart of six profit/loss symbols I made up over the New Year:

Each symbol is allocated a score from +3 (hit or beat DOPT after expenses have been deducted) to -3 (failed to hit DOPT and expenses exceed income).

At the end of the month I calculate the total score, multiply by 100 then divide into the number of days in the month and out pops my DOPT PERFORMANCE PERCENTAGE! LOL!

So How Did I Do In January 2018?

• "Regular Monthly Targets" Performance = 71%

• "Daily Profit Target" Performance = 38%

OVERALL PERCENTAGE FOR JANUARY 2018 = 54%

The Reckoning

I could easily have achieved a higher score in my Regular Monthly Targets simply by being more organized.

• Just 30-40 extra minutes of focused activity in two areas would have raised my score to 78%.

• An extra couple of hours focused on Google Analytics and broadcasting to my list would have raised my score significantly again.

As for the Daily Profit Target, I did not do anything significant to pull in more sales.

• I beat my daily profit target seven times.
• I finished the day in profit 20 times.
• There were five days of ZERO sales and expenses.
• There were six days when expenses exceeded sales.

Takeaways For February and March

I won't be so busy with teaching commitments in February and March. Once I have finished college exams and grading results, and once I have completed my tax returns, I will have much more time to work on my online business and other goals.

• I still need to improve my scheduling to get my Regular Monthly Targets done.

I will be setting up a new digital sales platform and launching a new e-book in February. I also aim to bring out new editions of three of my other e-books, and launch a range of PLR products.

Going through the Go-Getters training for one blog, and Kyle's WA Super Affiliate Program for another blog should also help me start seeing more sales.

I hope so because in February, my DOPT target goes up by $5 so I'm going to have to work hard to raise my game.

Don't tell Bo, but I will also be launching a third project, a Bitcoin-related blog before Q1 is out.

Stay focused, inspired and busy on your dream projects, my WA friends.

All the best,

David Hurley
