Challenge Yourself!

Up for a challenge?

In the midst of the tough economic news, when the market is up and down like a roller coaster, I am going to challenge you to challenge yourself. Here's what I did.

I decided to turn off the TV for thirty days....this was big for me. TV used to be the first thing I turned on when I got home and it really dominated my evenings. Even though I had curbed my TV viewing a lot, I decided to keep the set off for 30 days. Here is what I learned from my experiment:

1. Not listening to all the bad news helped my outlook. I am not suggesting that I was not informed. I kept up with the news via radio and internet. But not listening to the naysayers night after night, was good for me.

2. I accomplished some major goals in my life. It is amazing what you can do when you re-invest as little as thirty minutes a day into your goals. In a seven day week, I probably put as many as eight hours of TV time into productive time. It paid off with three major goals achieved.

3. One of my goals was to create a new speech video demo. While doing that I invested 15 minutes per day in examining and listening to some of our greatest speakers. That time was major for my overall view of my goals and what I could accomplish.

4. When my time is near and the oatmeal is drying on my chin, I won't be wishing that I had those thirty days of tv back.

So the question is to you. Are you up for a challenge? What would happen if you invested thirty minutes a day into your major goals? Good Luck and Stay Tuned!
