30 Day Challenge and 6 month Progress Report

30 Day Challenge.

I’ve been hearing these words in all sorts of places for more than two weeks now. On Facebook. On training calls. On blogs.

But I ignored them. Fingers in my ears la la la la la. Because I’ve never been good at follow through. And I’m afraid of disappointing myself … again.

But it’s been six months since I quit. Since I went cold-turkey on the multitude of network marketing/home biz ‘opportunities’ that I hadn’t taken advantage of.

Six months since I quit the self-sabotage, and just focused on self.

And then best friend and WordPress goddess Kimberly Castleberry dares – no, double dares me to start a 30 blog challenge with her. Fully this time. Publicly announced and 100% accountable.

I squirmed. I protested. I used my upcoming trip to Minnesota; my daughter’s personal struggles; my own health issues; anything I could think of to put it off til July 1st.

But then my dear friend/mentor JoAnn Donahue calls to me to say “isn’t it time you started believing in Yourself as much as I believe in you?”

And deep inside there’s this voice, sounding suspiciously like Diane Hochman, (on a horribly embarrassing but deeply-truthful-but-I-couldn’t-face-it public call) saying “Some time, you’re gonna have to stop making excuses.”

Gentle Readers, that time is now.

    What a way to step up! It’s going to be a fun if challenging next 30 days. I’m glad you agreed to do this with me and looks like we have quite a few others getting into the game! Be sure you have Google Analytics configured so we can look at metrics when we’re done! Game On, Girlfriend!

    WoW you go goddess! Best of luck to you, I know you can do anything you put your mind too! You have done right by yourself the last 6 months, it is always the right thing for when you “honor yourself the rest of the world falls in its appropriate place.”

    I look forward to reading your posts and watching the growth!

    Go be your greater FREE self
