Challenge Yourself
Do not sit back and let the world pass you by, challenge yourself. It is the best way to discover something new. It is an opportunity to see what you really can do. In the challenge process you might learn something too. This is why I recommend that you challenge yourself.
That is exactly what I did as a member of the 30 day blog challenge. I have been learning from Jeanette Cates for a number of years, so when she mentioned a 30 day blog challenge I knew it would be work. Dr. Cates is all about getting it done, taking action and obtaining a specific outcome. But 30 days of posting to my blog, I thought that was going to be impossible for me. I am a speaker, consultant, coach and not a big writer (so I thought). Besides what was I going to write about every day?
Well I must tell you that the 30 day blog challenge has been one of the most productive things I have done this year. Not only did I meet a number of interesting people, share information, discover new things, but the blog challenge forced me to be more creative. I found that I was running out of things to write so I took my flip camera with me and did what came naturally for me, talk. I found a number of interesting things to talk about right in my community, videotaped myself and then wrote a post about the topic. Was it time consuming, yes because I wanted it to be perfect, (type “A” personality) but it was so rewarding.
If you are looking for an opportunity to expand your mind, become more creative and inspire yourself to write on a daily consistent basis then the 30 day blog challenge is for you. If you do not think you could do it then that is even more of a reason to do it. Why? Because that is exactly what I thought and I made it, 30 posts in 30 days, doing a post for each individual day and not missing one. If I can do it you can too. If there is another 30 day blog challenge you want to make sure you join it. I highly recommend it. Thank you Dr. Janette Cates for helping me boost my creativity by joining you in the 30 day blog challenge.
