What gets measured improves... I'm certain that everyone's heard of this quote already, and if not, well then you've heard it from me.
A simple google search on this quote brought up the following top 3 hits:

"One thing I learned early in my business career is that anything of significance that is measured and watched, improves."
My background in Business Intelligence at my previous life at Business Objects should've taught me the same lesson as Rockefeller in the following article.
And from business seeds:
BOTTOMLINE: "When you started tracking progress, you'll "get it." Truth is like that sometimes, easy to see when you are willing to *really* look. When the things you want improved exist “out there” in the daily hustle and bustle, it’s easy to let a day slip without doing something about them. Track your progress!!
Having said that - I'd like to announce my intentions of tracking my health and wealth as an action of leadership by example. I invite everyone else in the iPoint group to accomplish the same. We're taking on some new recruits shortly, and I'll be interested to see how things add up in the near future.

And lastly, now that I've basically got the ball rolling, I need to set some goals. Let's start with 100k in net worth gain between now and Dec 31st, $4000/month in increased passive cash flow, and a decrease in weight down to 230 lbs by the same date (inclusive of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners!) A nice low attainable bar for both, but naturally I'll adjust things as stuff pans out.
