We’re closing in on the end of the first quarter of 2019, have you lost your momentum? Do you need a little inspiration and motivation to finish Q1 with a BANG?
When we work hard growing our businesses while also balancing our personal lives, we can often times get lost in the shuffle, which may lead to health issues or making bad business decisions. Or we may simply feel like we’re just doing the same things over and over – much like the movie Groundhog Day – and wondering if this is all there is to life.
When you hit moments like this, you need to break up the monotony. Give yourself something new to focus on that will inspire you to take care of yourself. Or simply focus on something that is lacking in your business or personal life. Creating a 30-Day Self-Challenge is just the thing that can spark some creativity and put some excitement back into your life.
Why Not Just Join a Challenge Online?
As you well know, challenges abound if you do a quick search on Facebook. Many, many business people use challenges as a way to attract new prospects to their business. At the very least, they’re building their community of followers; the best-case scenario is they attract prospective customers into their sales funnel.
However, there’s no need to search for the “perfect” challenge or feel forced to join a group simply because you want to add something different into your daily routine. Planning your OWN challenge gives you complete control over the results you want to achieve. You can plan your own calendar of activities that fit well into YOUR schedule and you don’t have any obligations to purchase new products or opt in to new mailing lists that you probably don’t need.
One added beauty of a self-challenge: you can fine tune the challenge before offering it to your own followers and prospective customers. But that’s really a decision that should be made at the end of your challenge, not at the beginning. Right now, focus on yourself and leave that question as your last step.
Choose Your Challenge
To begin, decide what area of your life you want to focus on for the next 30 days. Do you need to improve your nutrition? Exercise more? Increase water intake? Save money? Focus on your family more? Grow your email list? Sell more products? Increase your social media following? The choice is truly yours and you should evaluate what is lacking or needing improvement right now, at this moment in your life. This is a sample of the freedom I mentioned before, where you have complete control over what you want to accomplish as opposed to finding someone who happens to offer the exact challenge you want or need.
Journaling is an excellent way to write out your thoughts about your challenge choices and to evaluate if you need to focus on your personal life or your business. Sometimes the answer isn’t clear until you start taking notes about what’s lacking or what needs improvement.
