This post is part of a series where I share my updates on personal development challenges and other stuff that doesn’t need a separate post.
Internet Marketing Update
As you may know, last week I started an internet marketing challenge, where my goal is to to build and rank 6 websites or pages within 90 days. It’s been only a week but the results are encouraging (already talking about money). It seems that when you create real value then google has no problem rewarding you. I’m not going to share the technical stuff here, but you can read more about that here.
Health
Something I want to do is to train hard every day. However this week I’ve done next to nothing. This is an area where I have to work more for sure. I hope that when I’ll move to Madrid next month I’ll find a gym where I can continue my martial arts training, otherwise I’ll have to invent something (it’s difficult to practice fighting techniques alone).
Study
I began to study very hard again. As you may know, I’m a high school dropout but I’ve been a self learner since then. Now I’m focusing my time studying math and computer science stuff. This stuff is hard, but when you study for yourself you’re free to choose what you want to learn and no-one else is telling you what to do.
Other stuff
This week I bought a notebook dedicated to writing my dreams and goals. The “process” is the one described on achieve anything in just one year, and I’m really liking it. I’m also experimenting with some new goal setting techniques, which I can’t wait to share with you.
Tomorrow I’m leaving for a 3-day trip to Barcellona with a friend. I won this trip this winter. Thank you law of attraction.
By the way, you should really keep a journal where you write down your accomplishments. I found that it’s really helping me, especially because after a week or so I can quickly review what I did and what I have to do more.
Hi Oscar,
Thanks for sharing your progress.
Last week I began writing a list of 500 things I want to be, have or do. Another excellent law of attraction technique which I strongly advise to follow. I’ve seen cool results so far, things falling into place nicely.
Enjoy your trip :)

Hey Ryan, I think that’s very nice. So far I’m writing stuff as it comes to mind, and then every day I read it and think of how I can achieve it.

Hi Oscar,
You have a great blog and it’s really commendable that you have taken the self learning route.
I too am doing an experiment with self learning. I am doing a DIY masters in computer science using open courseware and principals of social learning/credentials.
If it sounds interesting, check out my experiment at http://opencs.wikidot.com

Hey Parag, what you are doing is very interesting indeed (I came across it from another comment you left)

Hi Oscar, it’s great that you are sharing your goals and achievements, but I have a question.
Time has passed and I missed lots of new post (really out of time), but as I looked at this post I think I´m missing something. In March you posted the last update about your 10,000 Euro challenge and ended with this phrase “I will still share my numbers here, but my primary goal is no longer making a specific amount of money, but instead to create value doing what I love. Money will follow.”
Now, reading your Internet Marketing Update, I´m seeing you are talking about money again (you said “My goal is to build up to six websites in 90 days and rank them in the top five for their main keyword phrases. I also want to make some money from them, that’s what we all wish at the end, right?”.I know your are not talking about an specific amount of money, but is really money the ultimate goal? I don´t think so.
What is happening? Am I missing something?
Cheers!!
P.S Writing down your accomplishments is really great.

Hey Lasse, good question. First of all I want to create some passive streams because they will allow me to travel more. But most importantly it would be too easy to rank for something with no value, so the real challenge is to rank for something that can bring some money.

hey oscar,
on your studies, if you need any help in maths… i’m currently writing my bachelor’s thesis in mathematics, so feel free to drop me a line. I’ll be glad to help… :)
so long, Ping

Thank you Ping_Lu, I’m afraid that my current math level is very low, but I’ll keep that in mind ;)
reply to this comment
uhh let me rephrase that, i’m not suggesting in any way that i can help you in every part of mathematics! ;) but i think i’ll be able to suggest you some good sources ;)
keep studying i know it’s quite hard and frustrating, but worthwhile… somehow ;)
