My Goals

Work

  • Work towards leaving the company 9-5 and work for myself as consultant in my field:
    • This will give me the flexibility to work more or less on my own volition and to work from different locales rather than being tied to my home country of Canada, such as spending more of winter at my vacation home in Mexico.
    • This will also give me the flexibility to work less than I am currently which is full-time plus (plus meaning extra hours in the evening and sometimes on weekends).
    • This will also provide me with a way to flexibility earn income in my pending early retirement (if I choose to pull the plug as early as a year and half from now) which can help fight any potential sequence of return risk.
    • Currently, I am working remote for my regular 9 to 5 company. Remote work is a baby step towards full consulting for me.
  • Monetize my skills through online content development: Twitter, YouTube, etc.
  • Grow my personal audience for online content through social media:

Dividends

  • $100,000 in annual dividends
    • This may be a stretch goal but I’m already at about $80,000 a year now.

Vacation Rental Property

  • My goal with this property is to rent it out while I’m not using it so renters cash flow the property and pay it off. The property is almost paid off.
  • My goal is to spend some and eventually more/all of winter in the hotter climate, including doing remote work.

Dividend Daddy Blog / Twitter

  • Write at least one blog post a month
  • Grow my Twitter followers to 25K
