Setting My 2024 KPIs

I normally set out to have around 6 KPIs to motivate myself every year so that I will have certain goals to target and achieve. This exercise helps me stay focused on the year ahead and keeps me on my toes. Else the 12 months will just simply slip by. Before you know it, Christmas would have happened and I don’t want to realise then that I did nothing meaningful for the whole year.

This year, it will be a bit different because I started a full-time job 4 months ago. As the leader of the team, I have set some milestones and targets I want to achieve. Given that this could be my last job before I reach my career finishing line, I want to give this my best shot.

Hence my 2024 KPIs will be kept short this year as my job will be the overwhelming factor that will occupy most of my energies and efforts for the rest of the year.

1. To read at least 15 books. This will be less than last year’s 20, in which I had only read 14.75 books. Hopefully, I can read faster while also working longer hours. I will try to add a few fiction books to help me relax and enjoy reading more.
2. To close at least 1 of the 2 funds we plan to launch officially in Mar. We will have an official opening ceremonial event in early Mar. The funds’ documentation should be ready for us to sound out to the interested Accredited Investors list that we are now developing as we introduce to the world our company’s existence and what we plan to do.
3. To keep my mind active with short online courses or even a physical class (Target to do 5). I need to keep challenging myself with new interests that I want to know more about and do a deeper dive into these topics. It could be more AI-related or even sustainability investment-related ones that are relevant to my job.
4. To stay happy and healthy always. I will not be having long runs and exercise sessions during the weekdays due to my full-time job. I plan to squeeze in some short evening runs and occasionally go to the gym in the evening.

Here is to a more determined me as we roll into 2024! I plan to achieve the above KPIs with lots of hardwork and meticulous planning in order to ensure the successful implementation and execution of my targeted goals.
