I have created this space to document my journey through all of the challenges that I do, as well as my progress towards my goals and financial independence. The areas that I’m most interested/passionate about are:
- Financial Independence
- Personal Development
- Health and Fitness
I’ve always been interested in self-experimentation and record keeping. Over the years I have challenged myself in many ways, primarily through 30-day challenges involving sleep patters, diets, exercise, behavioural patters and much more. I have made some notes, and I can remember each challenge with varying degree, however, I have not documented my experience properly before.
Challenges allow us to improve our discipline, strengthen our will power, and make life more interesting.
I hope that by reading about my challenges and my journey through the various aspects of my life, it will inspire you to try something new and push you outside of your comfort zone.
Feel free to contact me via this website or directly through email at nathanchallengeslife@gmail.com. I would love to get some ideas for new challenges!

- 2021 Goal Progress – JuneJust one month away from the half-way point for 2021! A lot has been happening this year, and creating these monthly goal reviews has really kept me on track and focused. May was interesting – quite a few changes with my finances, but I’ve been making really good progress with my PT business and a …
- 2021 Goal Progress – MayIt felt like April went very quickly. The biggest change during April was launching my mobile personal training business, Nathan’s Mobile PT, and it somewhat surprisingly kicking off VERY quickly, now taking up all of my spare time in the mornings – time I wasn’t doing anything anyway! Apart from that, some really good progress …
- FIRE Progress – April 2021First FIRE progress update of 2021! Given my monthly updates towards my goals, which includes net worth, investing, and finances, I didn’t think it was necessary to update my progress towards FIRE every month. Instead, I’m going to update my progress every 3-4 months and when I pass a large milestone. The first few months …
- 2021 Goal Progress – AprilThis post was a little later than usual due to being on holiday and taking some time off from everything.

- 2021 Goal Progress – MarchStart of March, two months down for 2021. I’m feeling quite good about a lot of my goals so far, but I know I’m a little behind on a few of them. From this point, March seems like a quite month in terms of events. Plenty of time to work towards things and keep on …
- How to Become a Millionaire and Retire Early (3 Steps)Having enough money so you no longer need to work may seem out of our reach at first. However, given time and compounding interest, it’s a whole lot easier to achieve than you think. I’ve been a follower of the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) movement for a number of years now, with a goal …

- How Learning A Skill Becomes Integrated Into Your LifeEvery time you learn something new, you will be able to pick up a new skill easier the next time. People often ask me how I manage to be fairly good at a broad range of skills, and have the ability to pick something up very quickly. In my opinion, this is because I’ve tried …

- 2021 Goal Progress – FebruaryIs it just me, or is 2021 already flying by? Either way, another month, another progress review. This is my first progress review for 2021. Throughout January, I recognised that I was going very well towards most of my goals, but also knew that I probably wouldn’t hit some of them. If you want to …
