Default Ok 1 improvement thread for myself - How to improve it all?

Finances
Environment
Hobby
Social life

Is it best to somehow combine all my goals together so that I can achieve them all?

FInancially I am not earning much. Ideally I would like to earn 4 x what I earn now. So either put the work in to get more clients and or create products to sell online....

....what about my hobby in the martial arts though?
I want enough time to get really good at it and then teach it (maybe alongside my current work)
So is it best to really focus on the martial arts more or just combine both?

....Environment - Im in my late 20's, I have to move out/Want to move out.
I hate the clutter in this house. There are too many of us and I feel its time I left. Ideally want to buy my own place. I dont have the money tho (not even close)
Shall I try and get a council place or focus on making more money so that I can buy a place (which is ideal)
I want more space - I have alot of stuff too

Social life - a great friend who lives local would be great. maybe even a mentor type person. I would love to be a mentor too.
I want to connect with women which I cant seem to now.

I think I have confidence but am a poor communicator/talker. Not sure what exactly.

How do I improve it all together? Seems tough
do I focus on improving one thing first?
If so how do I keep everything else out of my mind? (I would end up thinking too much of what I want to improve or what im lacking)

Do I somehow combine them all together?

I would suggest working on improving one area of your life first. Focus on that until you are satisfied. Then move on to something else.

I think I should create an automatic income stream through the internet as there is so much I would like to achieve in life.
It would take money stress away completely

To make big changes in all those areas, you really have to make difficult big changes in your life: friends, mentors, and of course your job.

For me personally, the people I hang out with influence my behavior more than anything else. I can motivate myself to work when I am around less motivated people, but when I am around other driven people pushing towards my goals seems almost effortless because of all the support

I watched something talking about the subconcious mind and negative beliefs.
Basically it was saying they can really hold someone back and EFT is good for this, So I think I will give it a try.

Take 4 areas that you want to improve the most, then work out one goal per area. For each goal work out what the results would look like in a yes/no fashion.

Then with those goals you can make a plan over a certain time to take certain actions to achieve them. Daily habits, 30 day trials and weekly appointments are some of the best ways to turn goals into plans and into actions.

You can do them all at once, but you can't think about them all at once. What you want to do is do all the thinking in the planning, then make the actions as focussed as you can. Once focussed you can concentrate on the task at hand without doubt or confussion.

You will only want to work on one goal at any particular moment, but many goals per day. You can also combine easy physical activities with easy mental activities, like exercise and listen to audio books, but more complex activities will take more focus.
