30 Day Challenge Plus, The Awesomeness Of It!

There is “No Charge For Awesomeness”, that is the catch-cry for the 30 Day Challenge, and a better catch-cry there couldn’t be.

Yes! the 30 Day Challenges have been definitely awesome, I would go further and call them A A, Absolutely Awesome!

I think I’m called a 30DC Veteran as I’ve done every one so far and while I haven’t made my $1 or $10 each time within the 30 days, (have twice), I have made my more than one dollar and my more than10 dollars very soon after the thirtieth day. And…..might add am still doing that using the 30DC process.

Ed Dale, in case you don’t know and have been never on the Internet until this very moment, is the person behind the 30 Day Challenge.

When I started the first 30DC, I couldn’t believe what was being taught FOR FREE! , yes!, free, zippo, zilch, such valuable information.

I learnt how to do so much and each year that learning has been built on by Ed and his team. Ed’s generousity is part of the awesomeness.

But wait there’s more!

Now Ed Dale and Crew are taking the Awesomeness to the next level.

Yes, it’s the 30 Day Challenge Plus and it will take you to the next level for sure.

We are in the first month, and already the content is A A (Absolutely Awesome) and will only get better and better.

Okay now the 30DC Plus is not free, and neither should it be but the price is A A too, in that it is incredibly reasonable. The membership may not stay at this price, so you want to get in early. I can assure you, you will be amazed at what is being given in the training and video/audio/PDF tutorials.

This is what Ed says,

“Every single month, we’re going to show you a completely new way to develop products easily and simply – including all the cheat-y tricks we use to create them super fast.

Some of these methods will literally take a couple of hours. (Incredible!)

If there’s a way to capture & package content for sale, we’ll bring it to you inside Thirty Day Challenge Plus.

We’ll show you audio, we’ll show you video, we’ll show you ebooks.

We’ll show you podcasting and producing DVDs.

We’ll also show you good old-fashioned printed books – we’ll even do comics!

We’ll show you how to create every type of product that is making money right now.

We’ll also explain how to pick the best format for your product. And let me tell you, picking the right format and delivery method is more than half the battle. (This is something that other people just don’t cover!)”

And that’s not all………….

So don’t say “later”, go do it now, join here and take your knowledge to the Awesomeness Next Level!

I’m Focused! Well This Will Keep Me Focused, Good One!

Well, I’m hell bent on making my wish #4 come true and I think I’m on my way, well the first steps to staying focused.

I need that ‘thing’ up in front of me where I can set out what I need to do each day and something that will be easy to update without going into a program.

I had a blackboard and a whiteboard but having rearranged my working area, these boards just don’t fit anymore.

So I went looking for an online solution and guess what?

I found it!

It is a corkboard screensaver, interactive, has sticky notes, to do lists, date, time, even a phone for conference calls etc.

This is one neat screen saver. So far I’ve been able to change the backboard to a background of mine, rearrange the sticky notes and to do lists, change the fonts and best of all add my lists for what I want to get done tomorrow and …..forever .

It really is interactive, click on any key and it sits itself down on the task bar, activate it from there and you can update, check on how you are going, really make yourself accountable. I’ve also added a photo of my daughter and I just before her wedding.

This is one neat little application and it is all free, just download, they ask you to register but that is only to make sure it will be available to you …….forever.

Better tell you where you can get this……

Go get your own and get focused and have fun!……:-)

This is my ‘whiteboard’!

I’m loving this

Now to get some other chores done…..my step grandaughter is coming tomorrow and the next day so it will be action, action, have to get organised. The list to get done is on the ‘whiteboard’

My Wish #4 For 2009 Is Focusing

Focusing , this is a problem for so many of us, I know I’m not alone.

This is one area that I’m determined to master during 2009.

I make all these to do lists, task lists, get ‘er done lists, you name it and I have made the list.

A huge difference in working/running a business online to working/running a business offline is the distractions.

Offline, because what happens daily in your business is mostly related to what your business is about. Staying focused is not such a problem.

I owned florist shops and before the big days, like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, for about eight weeks, there was so much planning, so much focusing on that one big day, that there wasn’t any room mentally for anything else, apart from the day to day running of the business.

It was such a natural thing to do, focus on what was needed to make that big day a success, because that is what was all around you.

So I know I am capable of ‘doing’ the focusing.

The big difference is the Internet is changing so much and at an almost faster than a flash rate. There are so many opportunities presented to you and updates are happening all the time.

While some of these changes on the Internet, will take your attention because they are new, others take your attention because they will improve the way you can operate, or will be something that you have been using that is updated and has a few more whizbangs that need learning and adjusting.

So the focus is shifted sideways.

I use WordPress a lot and it is forever being upgraded both the platform and the plugins that make it work so well. Plugins upgraded and new plugins that will perform a function you may have been looking for or will solve a problem you have.

Now this is not a bad thing, quite the opposite. But…..to take advantage of these upgrades, takes your focus away from the job at hand because you can see that by implementing the upgrade, will save you time later, solve your problem now etc.

That is just one little scenario, there are many others.

I do know that when working at home, it is easy to say, I can finish that up later, like after dinner when everything has settled down. That for me can be a really productive time too but it is too easy as well when the distractions come along through the day.

So, a better plan of working is what is needed, that’s for sure. If you Google the words, focus and focusing there are lots of results and lots of meanings, the most relevant to my needs would be these

From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focusing

“focus is just a short period of time to concentrate on the immediate task at hand so that it can be completed, not the absence of all else around”

One of the Merriam-Webster dictionary Focus meanings that are close to what I want the meaning to be for my purposes are:-

“A center of activity, attraction or attention. or a point of concentration”

Maybe the above meanings will get me started on my plan to keep myself focused for 2009 and beyond.

If you are like me and have this problem, let’s know your ideas for getting on track and focusing in 2009 and beyond.

There are many other things I wish for in 2009, but these four are the main ones for my online business.

Take care

Cheers
Carmel

PS I’ve been looking for an idea to help me with this focusing, kind of center me and just before I posted this, I found something that looks good. Will get beck here and let you know if it is going to work.
