Goal Setting

Goal setting is incredibly important, as part of my personal and business development, I take a unique approach to setting and measuring my goals. If you’ve ever seen my Google Calendar, it looks incredibly complicated and jam packed.

In reality, it’s not. I use my calendar to set reminders, to ensure I don’t forget to call back that owner, or the council or the local water provider. And it’s all colour co-ordinated, so it can look completely wild and overwhelming to the untrained eye. A critical function of my calendar is to help me set goals. I set goals for the week, for the month, for every 3 months, 6 months and for every year. The unique thing about my goal setting is that I will record a video, and prompt myself to open the video in my calendar, say in 6 months time for example.

The video is generally 5 minutes long or so, and I talk about what’s happening in my life at that time, how the business is going, any issues and problems I am facing, and importantly, where I want to be at the time I open the video.

Before starting EZPZ, I set goals and thought about goals, but I never had a habit of really sitting down, taking 5 minutes to simply record a quick screenshot of my life, as it was in that moment.

I have learned some valuable lessons from making these videos. The first thing is, whatever is bothering me or causing me problems and stresses right now, likely won’t be an issue in 3 months time, heck, it likely won’t be an issue in 3 weeks time. It’s often trivial and amusing when I look back at a video I sent myself 3 months ago to open. The benefit of this reflection and

hindsight allows me to digest problems in a healthier and less taxing way. In the present, when facing issues or problems that are high in stress, I find asylum knowing this problem will pass. I used to get very stressed, and truthfully I still do - stress is an important tool for growth and action. But ensuring that the stress is not overwhelming or taking a physical toll on me is super

important. Reminding myself of the videos is reassuring and helps me keep a holistic mindset. As we close off the first full year of business operations (2025), EZPZ has been able to far exceed expectations and smash goals which I had previously set. The volume of listings that are now under management are a clear reflection of the large appetite for quality property

management services in Melbourne.

As I navigate the path of entrepreneurship, goal setting will continue to be a critical part of ensuring the success of the company, and me personally.



Best,
