what's up everybody how's it going in
this video i want to share with you the
four
goals or new year's resolutions that i
have
for myself for 2021. i know that a lot
of people
don't like new year's resolutions they
always say like if you have something
that you want to do to start doing it
now and i actually
agree with them these are things that i
have kind of started working on
but i do think that there is a merit to
having some sort of mental list of
things that you want to accomplish
especially
in the new year it just gives you a
sense of purpose a sense of you know
direction
and to be honest this is something that
i wanted to do last year i wanted to do
a video like this
i didn't do it for many reasons but this
year i've decided to do it
keep myself accountable and the goal
will maybe be to react to this video
a year from now so a year from now i'll
try to do reaction video to this video
to see if i actually hit my goals
if i actually accomplished and stuck to
my new year's resolutions
and you will keep me accountable so
without further ado
let's jump into the first goal or new
year's resolution
and it is for me to get a haircut
obviously i'm kidding but seriously like
my hair is starting to get
so long like it keeps coming out of the
sides here
i need to get a haircut i'm kind of like
scared to go get a haircut right now but
i probably
just should get one and just be careful
anyway i'm gonna do that in like the
first month of the new year but
seriously my first new year's goal
or resolution this one is more of a goal
but it has to do with
algo expert my company i'm sure that a
lot of you expected this and by the way
if you're preparing for coding
interviews or
systems design interviews then do check
out my company i'll go expert go to algo
expert dot io and use the
code clem clem for discounted platform
but so algo expert
has been doing really really well in
2020. the business
grew beyond our wildest imagination to
give you an idea of how much it grew as
far as revenue and sales are concerned
compared to 2019 the business has
effectively
6x so we grew by a factor of
six which is just insane i really didn't
expect this
the start of 2020. even in the middle of
2020 we actually did some financial
projections like in may
or june and we far surpassed them you
know projections for the end of 2020 the
second half of 2020
but so now looking ahead at 2021 i'm
still very excited
we've been really growing the team
lately like hiring people you know we
hired a couple of instructors
we actually have a few other people that
might be joining or that might have
already joined wink wink and that will
announce in 2021
a lot of exciting stuff and so the goal
for 2021
is to 2.5 x the business from here
2.5 x meaning multiply and grow our
sales and revenue figures by
roughly two and a half times i think is
a
lofty like it's a pretty big goal
because remember a business can't just
like
double in size every year if that were
the case and businesses would just
keep growing and like insanely at an
insane pace right that's not gonna
happen
but i think 2.5x is like pretty high but
also
reasonably attainable i think we could
do it
um it'll be very exciting to see and you
know i'll let you know
a year from now my second goal or new
year's resolution this one actually has
a resolution to it and the goal comes
after
has to do with uh my social media as
again you might expect
so that's youtube linkedin and even
actually twitter
so just to give you a tiny bit of
context back in 2020
when i was prepping my mental goals or
resolutions for 2020
i wanted to give myself a challenge
related to
how frequently i posted on my social
media so i remember i wanted to give
myself the challenge of posting
twice a week on youtube twice a week on
linkedin a tweet a day something like
that
and i actually stuck to it i didn't
actually do the challenge but
i stuck to it for uh youtube and
linkedin
did not do it for twitter and i also had
one for instagram didn't do it at
all and what do you know i've grown a
lot on youtube and linkedin
in 2020 but not at all on twitter if you
follow me on linkedin you might have
seen my post about consistency this is
a perfect example of that but so this
year i want to do this challenge
the challenge is going to be for youtube
and linkedin just keep doing what i'm
doing
roughly two posts a week maybe one post
a week sometimes
but then for twitter i want to give
myself the challenge because i've
started tweeting lately and i actually
enjoy the platform a lot lately
i want to tweet once a day now i'm not
going to
actually you know hold myself
accountable to exactly two videos a week
or exactly one tweet a day
no the point is for it to be roughly
like that
because there are some weeks like even
this past week where
i just couldn't film a youtube video for
various reasons
sometimes you don't want to tweet on a
particular day but the point is
if overall you're roughly at an average
of a tweet a day
overall you're roughly at two videos on
youtube a day or a week
sorry then that's what i want you can
definitely keep me accountable for that
if you want and so the goals that come
out of this
little challenge or resolution that i've
given myself here
are number one for youtube i would love
to grow to 750
000 subscribers which is a little less
than 3x from here right now at 270
000 i think last time i checked and it
seems
pretty daunting because right now i'm
only gaining like you know only 500
subscribers a day roughly which just
definitely does not put me on track for
750 by the end of the year
but you never know when a viral video
can hit
growth tends to be pretty exponential
i've seen other comparably
tech channels grow to that kind of like
size
in about a year so that's the goal i'm
giving myself for linkedin i would love
to
also almost 3x so right now i'm at about
125 000 followers
i would love to hit 300 000 followers
i've actually noticed that my growth on
linkedin is
faster steeper than uh my growth on
youtube but so that's the goal
and then for twitter no real goal i
don't really know what to expect from
twitter i just want to tweet
roughly once a day and if you're not
following me on twitter then follow me
okay so the third goal this one is a
little bit more
nuanced a little bit more nebulous
basically
i want to in 2021
find some sort of new
hobby or interest or
endeavor passion something
that i can do that i can work on that
brings me happiness excitement
fulfillment
joy whatever you want to call it that
isn't
some of the stuff that i already do so
basically like let me explain here
lately and i've had this conversation
with my girlfriend with my brother
um lately i've been feeling a little bit
like kind of down not really you know
sad
certainly not depressed you know i don't
want to like exaggerate you know my
feelings here but
i've just been feeling a little bit down
a little bit um
just like just content if that makes
sense
and i have no idea if it's a combination
of you know being
maybe a little bit burnt out or maybe a
little bit like bored of doing
too much of the same because you know so
that you can understand
this year of 2020 and even you know the
few years before 2020
i have been like only working
and when i say working it's not even
just working it's like i've been only
doing i've been
all consumed by algo expert
by my youtube channel which is very much
related to algo expert into software
engineering and coding interviews and
entrepreneurship and so
it's just been a lot of the same thing
like every day you know
at my computer and you know doing
algorithms systems design
front engineering uh prepping youtube
videos you know for
all of you and i i really enjoy it but
at the same time i don't know there's
something like lately
that's been kind of like lacking for me
um i'm having a hard time pinpointing it
and that's why
you know i think that in 2021 i would
love
to have as a goal by the end of 2021
to have found something maybe that
something is
a second business to work on maybe it's
a completely new
hobby or some sort of new passion like i
remember
back in college in high school and even
like a little bit after college
i was really really really into lifting
specifically like powerlifting
i still am like i still go to the gym
all the time the gym is kind of like
part of my
life at this point but i'm not as
focused on
certain accomplishments there as i was
before like i'm not really
that into breaking like personal records
on the bench press or on the squat or
whatever as i used to
and maybe that's kind of what i'm
missing right now um
you know i don't know if what i said
conveys to you what i'm trying to convey
uh hopefully it does maybe some of you
can relate to what i'm describing
but yeah i'm trying to find some little
spark
um this year and i'll let you know at
the end of 2021
if i have found that spark and maybe
i'll let you know earlier in the year if
i find it and if it's related to youtube
or
or whatever last but not least uh
resolution number four or goal number
four this one is kind of a fun one
it's actually kind of related to the
third one to the one about
kind of like wanting a bit of excitement
in my life and stuff
uh basically i've realized also that
i am in dire need of some sort of
vacation and when i say vacation it's
not necessarily
like being able to relax and not work
because you know i work on my
on my own you know i don't really have a
boss right so i can work whenever i want
and it's not that i feel really
overworked but it's more like i feel
like i need a change of
scenery i haven't had a genuine vacation
in a completely different kind of scene
like you know maybe a resort at the
beach or something like that
in a very long time like over
two years or something uh a year and a
half or something
and obviously like with the pandemic
right now that's not really doable or if
it is i'm not really
you know in the mindset to do that with
this pandemic but so my goal is
probably at the end of 2021 to do
or go on some sort of long relaxing
exotic vacation maybe at a resort at the
beach or in the mountains or something
like that
and maybe that's where i will do the
reaction video to this video
and just to look back on how 2021 went
so
that's my fourth goal i know it's kind
of silly but you know i'm putting it as
a goal because i want it to happen
and we'll see if it does i will make
sure that it happens anyway
those are my four goals i hope that you
have your own goals and resolutions for
2021 if you don't i would encourage you
to
kind of think about them you still have
a few more days and you can always start
you know even after the new year starts
doesn't really matter
but think of what you want to accomplish
and try to
keep yourself accountable in some way
shape or form maybe by posting a comment
on this video
what are your goals for 2021 what are
your resolutions
and if you made it this far i really
appreciate it that means that you
probably
care a little bit about my goals and
resolutions so genuinely appreciate it
