Written by our CEO, Shane Maloney, it draws on his years of building and using Lifetick to reach his own goals. In 2017 and 2018 he reached one of his biggest: a 30,000 km solo motorcycle ride from Iran to Italy, then on to Kyrgyzstan via Russia. Every tip comes from his own experience of setting goals and how they have shaped his life.
