Hey Everyone! It's been about 9 days since the last update, so here's the latest on my journey to 100k! Thanks for your support!
I recently got the new Mavic Air and I've been absolutely obsessed with it, but its time to get back to the regularly scheduled programming! I've missed these updates over the past week. As you are all aware, the crypto markets have slumped over the past few days and along with it so has the steem price. This affects us all greatly - at least in the short-term. It affects how quickly and efficiently we can accomplish our goals, but we must take a much more long-term view - and these corrections are a great reminder of that.
Please take this time to reflect on your goals and what you're aiming to achieve. Ask yourself questions about how you can achieve your goals and what actions you should take to make them a reality - regardless of the steem price or any other crypto!
I'm also adding a new part to this "Journey to 100k Series" - though it's starting to get really varied, maybe I should call it something other than journey to 100k!! Anyways, I'm adding a fitness goal to these posts. As many of you may know, I'm very fitness-oriented and have been working out for most of my life.
Before each summer, I take a couple months to go on what is known as a "cut" - which refers to cutting weight by dieting and doing cardio. This summer is no different and I've just begun my cutting season. I'll take you along this journey in a post each day about what I eat and how I lift and why I do things the way I do in order to lose weight. I'm really excited to share this other part of my life with all of you and I look forward to seeing what we can make of it!
Steem Power Goals
Steem Follower Goals
Real Estate Project Goals
Last year, I completed 2 real estate projects. This year I'm hoping to triple that and complete 6 projects and share them with all of you! 2 projects have already been started, 1 is near completion and a 3rd project is being negotiated right now! The 1st quarter of 2018 has been great so far and I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish through the rest of 2018!
Here's the Question of The Day, don't forget to post your answers in the comments!
What do you think of the new fitness series idea? The first post will be tomorrow and will recap what I eat and how I workout in order to lose weight. What would you like to see in these posts each day?
Thanks for reading! Don't forget to leave your thoughts below and I look forward to seeing you in the comments!

Hey Khaleel, Welcome Back. You were missed here.
Great progress on your Steemit goals.
I too made some progress, my 500 follower count is just around the corner (436 followers till now) and the 500 SP goal seems to be going bit slow, hopefully I will reach there in a month or two.
To keep myself enthused, I've given myself a #30daychallenge: that is to post a minimum of 1 post every day. So far I am doing good on this challenge. 4 days - 4 posts.
Keep motivating :)
Thanks @goel.tarun! I appreciate the warm welcomes! It’s great to hear your progress! I’m glad that you’re finding success! A month or 2 it is! I look forward to seeing you hit that goal and then establish another one! Thanks for sharing!
That’s a great challenge! I should take up something like that as well, keep up the good work as well my friend!
omg lo lthat would be alot of power geez!
Gotta set those goals to instill that drive to reach them!! hefty goals but realistic if you are working hard, as you seem to be!!
Already putting a solid dent in the SP and follower goals for 2018's end-keep up the solid work man!!
Cheers & best of luck to you !
Thanks @conradsuperb! Of course! It's absolutely necessary to set your goals - if you don't know what you're aiming at, then how will you hit your target?
My goals are always a bit "out there" - as my friends and family like to point out... What I've found is that I need a large goal to really get me excited and motivated to put a lot of hard work behind it and really go after and achieve it! This 100k SP goal is surely one of the harder goals I've ever set for myself, but I'm absolutely confident that I will hit it by the end of 2018.
To bystanders it may seem like the progress is slow, but you have to remember: the progress always starts slow but then grows exponentially! Exponential growth is especially a factor that needs to be considered when it comes to Steem Power!
Thanks for your support, I appreciate it! What are some of your goals for 2018? Would love to hear from you @conradsuperb!
Yes absolutely mate!! I like how you approach your goal setting strategy, especially with the SP! I guess I haven't really sat down and thought about the goals I want to achieve for 2018, but now you've got me thinking... I think 5,000 SP and 1,750 followers are relatively realistic and attainable for my circumstances, so off to hitting these goals I am!!
Catch ya later @khaleelkazi and see you around, I will most definitely be supporting you on your way to exponential growth my friend.
Steem on!!
I want 10k steem power at the end of this year. Is it beneficial if i buy steem power delegation from blocktrades because some people say that it is very costly. Please give your opinion.
That’s a great goal @markzuckerbergs! It can be beneficial to get an sp delegation, but keep in mind that they are extremely costly and hard to maintain each month. The added exposure on each of your posts is a really nice benefit though, so you have to weigh the pros and cons out!
I can tell you way its simple
O Mark Hello !;)With every meeting on steemit you will make me smile!))Buying steem power at blocktrades is a good solution.I also think about it..
Very seriously, I have to write a poem about it this morning. You can see it on my blog titled crypto storm.
I don't know what me and fitness are quarrelling about. This is the only goal in my life I struggle to stay on track. Maybe documenting yours will challenge me to keep to my goals.
Just be you. Take up your usual fitness program and show it to us here. For me I don't want something special, I just want to see you do what you do.
Congratulations on the achievements so far. Keep holding to your dreams, aspire higher.
I’ll definitely check out your crypto storm post @lordjames, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the advice on the fitness posts, I’ll be sure to keep true to my normal program and share how it all works with you! You as well my friend, have a beautiful day!
I agree with @lordjames you documenting your fitness routine might help me get back into my own fitness routine...
What are you thinking about adding to the fitness content?
The goal for followers... well I will help you out by giving you one more...
Yes, the goal is the main thing!If there is a desire and a goal you can achieve everything... I congratulate you and wish you good luck.
Thanks @bitboys! I appreciate your support! What are some of your goals for 2018?
Thank you @khaleelkazi !I will develop on steemit..This is my goal for 2018!
good luck!
@khaleelkazi. I am with you in your goals. As long as you promote your posts and keep them in the trending tag and wait till one day before pay out to upvote your comments you can't lose. I just wish there was a better way to do Steemit. I feel you have a lot of potential but somehow got all caught up in money. I'm sorry. Personally I would like to see more humanity in your posts because I know there is more to you than exercise and profits.
Thanks for your comment @mineopoly, it’s good to hear from you. I 100% understand where you’re coming from. I do also wish there were a better way than having to promote posts with bots to get to the trending tag. Recognition used to be a totally different game on steemit when I started but it has recently become a game of “who can spend more money on the bots today?” I really hate this side of steemit which is why I don’t talk about it much - but maybe that’s the opposite of what I should be doing. To be honest, this is a platform driven by capitalism and thus, ways to “market” posts by spending marketing dollars sbds) are going to pop up no matter what we do. As for the upvoting, I don’t want to leave that unaddressed for you, as I can tell that you’re against it. I also wish it wasn’t something that was prevalent on the platform. I keep mine to the minimum amount that I need in order to cover the delegation costs associated with my SP - I hope you can understand that :) I would love to see steemit implement a better post sorting feature to get past the broken system we currently have with all these “shitposts” at the top of our trending pages. Unfortunately there’s just no competing with people who put hundreds of sbds behind each and every post they make.
I really appreciate hearing from you and hopefully this will be my kick in the butt to get back to my posts about books and learning - the topics I truly enjoy writing about the most!
Thank you for listening and thinking even though it is so late at night in Chicago. I honestly hope you can still sleep well and read the rest of this comment Saturday afternoon. If you were any other person I would just pass by and forget I knew you. I know the delegation interest is way too high and paying it back is killer that's why I didn't do it. It's not as big a deal to me to be "successful" here. It's really not a fun game any more when the whole world is jumping in. And don't get me wrong in my earlier comment. You are totally free to do what you want. I really want you to be the best @khaleelkazi. There are enough jerks out there and it is deadly competitive. I found two trending tags I could just sit in with just a $20 upvote and then a week later I will get back what I spend, get more exposure and more followers and comments. I did it for two days and actually didn't feel comfortable. Then another guy came in and upvoted post higher and knocked me out. Haha^^ That's the money game here. I'm too old for it and can't deal with stress well but I think it suits you well Khaleel . You can use the system as much as you like but with integrity. I am totally supporting you.
Let's just throw Steemit out of the picture for a minute. I know the kids you went to school with. The pressure is tough there. There are some really good kids at Central and some of them will definitely be the future leaders of America. One of those students who graduated just last year will probably be the President in 30 years. I have a lot of hope for you guys because you will be the leaders of America and that's no joke.
My hope is that you continue to grow as the wonderful guy you really are and this August I meet you for brunch at that Pancake house or some Steak and Eggs.
I'm always here to listen, read and learn from amazingly intellectual and wise people like yourself @mineopoly. I always appreciate your comments and you always have something to teach. Your comments here have made me think a lot about Steemit and what it has evolved into. I agree, the system is full of greed and is mostly based on how much money is made versus the quality of content and the message that people are trying to convey. The sad thing about this system is that the best creators are often pushed out of the way while the people with the most clout on the platform are the ones who can get eyeballs to their posts. These last 2 posts I've made have been the first in a long time that I've actually used a bid bot on. I've seen bid-bots take a very different direction as most people are using them to hunt for more upvotes and hit the trending page. I wanted to see the effect of these bots on my posts and that's why I did 1 video (dtube) post and 1 written post, both upvoted by bots for the same amounts. The results of using the bots have proven to me that its an effective way to get more eyeballs to your posts as well as more upvotes. Though the eyeballs and community have always been my focus, you do make the very valid point that I've veered off that path a little bit with all of these "update" posts. I thought that they were a great source of motivation to others to show these goals and my progress regularly, but I can see that these posts can be similarly regarded to others who make "shitposts" all the time.
I'm going to take more time to reflect, but you've already made me reconsider the content I'm putting out. I've wanted to get back to the more intellectual style of posting and that's what I intend to do over the next several days. My goal has never been and never will be to work without integrity. I will always do what I feel is right and will always re-evaluate when important voices in my life such as yours tell me to reconsider. Long story longer :) I will make an effort to do less of these updates and more of the thought-provoking and conversational posts that I used to focus on. Thank you for that.
Thank you for your compliments and good wishes as well! It's funny that you say that because steak and eggs are my favorite! You will definitely have to let me know when you are in town and I'll take you to this great spot near me called Citrus!
For me 400-500 SP till the end of 2018 is more realistic. I'm going to aim for that. :)
As long as your goal has these qualities, it's a great one for you:
Maybe that's the difference between a successful person and an average one. Successful people do work harder to get ahead of others. They say if your dreams don't scare you, then they are not big enough.
Your 3rd point kind of motivated me. Thank you.
@khaleelkazi, Your goals are really an inspiration to all of us but that isn't even the main inspiration. The main inspiration is that you set it publicly; this will be a driving force for you to achieve them.
I see sense in your goals and I believe there aren't too much or too high. Everything is achievable.
About the fitness series, I think it would be really nice yo do something like that. Although there are quite a couple of health and fitness blogs here on steemit, I believe if you add a little uniqueness to your own blog, then you will get adequate results.
I'll think of something that can give that uniqueness and add it to the comment later.
P.S. I helped fulfill your goals by adding one follower to your follower base☺
my goal of this year is to get 1000 SP
i am working towards it....
if you want to five tips you can
I pray for your success... congrats for having a goal, looking forward to see you achieve it.
wow, u do have a lot! before you started Steemit, did you have a large social following?
best of luck on this platform..
Think, that bitkoin — pervaya kriptovalyuta, sposobnaya izmenit' world.Your post-modernism pleased me :)
It's a big goal, wish you good luck, I am sure you will be able to achieve it. We would like to see the daily routine that you follow, which exercises do you do daily and obviously what you eat. It would be great if you can share your routine, who knows if good number of people get inspired with your blogs. Keep Steeming and sharing with us.
cheers
@ahlawatkavita
Great achievements, I wish you great good luck on your projects
Safe journey ☺.. You can do it 💪 @khaleelkazi
that is really informative post of all steem user. thanks a lot for sharing this
It's a big intention, wish you proper success, i'm certain you will be capable of gain it. We would like to see the day by day recurring which you comply with, which sporting events do you do each day.I assume you will achvied your dreams.
Steemit Has Good Future This is the Most Amazing Platform as Compared to others Social Platforms..
That's really impressive. I'm slowly watching as my followers barley touch 200 and my SP just humps over the 100 mark. Yikes, I've got a way to go lol
This is a hard journey you are doing i'm happy to see that you set high goals for yourself as this is the way to have good achievement in live
Your goal is best but lets see in think its very difficult for bignners any one suggest about bignners
Hey, @khaleelkazi !!! Nice Post.
I always Expecting such type of informative post on your blog.
To set those goals to impart that drive to connect with them!! viable goals yet sensible in the event that you are securing, as you have every one of the reserves of being! Beginning at now putting a strong scratch in the SP and supporter objectives for 2018's end-keep up the strong work man. Really, the objective is the fundamental thing!If there is a need and an objective you can accomplish everything... I salute you and wish you positive conditions. I am with you on your objectives. For whatever time portion that you push your posts and keep them in the slanting tag and hold up until the point that the minute that one day before payout to upvote your remarks you can't lose. I basically wish there was a superior strategy than do Steemit.
I hope you'll reach your goal my friend. Most of us have same goals here in steemit but let's not just forget that this platfrom was made for content creators to be rewarded. It's fine to be whales but greedy whales is not. Sorry, I just hate them somehow.
hopefully your project runs smoothly
Hello @khaleelkazi,
I have already posted a similar comment to one of your articles, but I guess you must have missed it - sorry if you have seen it but choose to skip it. 🙃
Your name sounds a bit like Khaleesi! 😊
Congratulations on setting high goals and deciding to introduce fitness to them!
I haven’t been in a gym for a while now since I’m mostly focused on my tango dancing progress and I have enough equipment at home to do a solid strength and endurance workout three times per week. However, I still love to read about working out and healthy nutrition.
Although I'm mostly focused on life philosophy, psychology, and mindfulness, I'm following you on your journey to 100k SP! : )
Cheers,
@lifenbeauty
Love the idea! How about some workout videos?
Great idea, i'll do one too in the future, but i'll probably start my cut in july when i have more time for the gym, right now i workout and have a sort of bulk diet which is going great, almost no fat added :)
And i can shred fat really well, last time i dropped 44lbs in 3 months, i lost some muscle though, this time i only need to lose like 10lbs and i can probably do it very slowly so that i don't lose muscle, sometimes i can even gain muscle on the cut!! i guess it's because i'm still young, 23, i have enough testosterone to power a whole army :P and i even try to focus my diet on increasing it!
