What’s your 30-Day Challenge? 5 Steps to Get You Started.
When starting or developing your small business there will be times when you have discrete projects to do to move your business and life forward. When you are being Jill of trades (particularly at the early-stages) time and motivation are an issue. However, setting yourself a 30-day challenge can give you the zest of energy and focus that you need. So, how can you make your 30 days count in 5-easy steps:
1. Identify and focus on one thing that you want to get done in 30-days and write it down. By only choosing one activity you can focus your time and energy on achieving it; and it is easier to hold yourself to account. What will be your word of the month to empower you to get the job done e.g. I want to feel…accomplished, productive or powerful etc.
2. Identify and write down 3 key jobs that you will need to do to achieve your 30 -day challenge. These are your challenge milestones.
3. Now take each key job in turn and break it down to 10 small tasks i.e., 1 key job = 10 tasks and 1 task is to be done each day over 10 days. Do this for all three key jobs.
4. Tell 1 or 2 people in your inner circle (family, friends, colleagues, business mentor/coach) that you are doing this 30- day challenge so they can cheer you on and hold you to account.
5. Identify how you will celebrate or treat yourself when you achieve your 30-day challenge. You need something to keep you going and reward yourself for completing this momentous task.
Remember you have got this!
