Thirty Day Challenge FAIL!

Heh yeah I did not make my $1 this year within the 31 days. Not going to beat myself up about it, the last week has been disrupted and the wind went out of my sails.

The highlights for me this year have been the awesome tools. Those tools changed some of the atmosphere of the challenge itself.  Not a bad thing as I love the new and improved tactics we learned and used in 2008.

In years past it has been a real pioneering feeling of cobbling together various techniques, being resourceful in how they were applied and pushing on through the “unknown” using only real desire and a wing and a prayer you were going in the right direction.

This year it was as professional as it gets. Incredible labor saving tools with state of the art video teaching and interaction. Brilliant stuff and really inspiring as examples of how to run a training course in anything on the internet.  If I wore a hat I would be taking it off to Ed Dale, Gurubob, Dan Raine and the rest of the team who put together a fabulous learning experience.

The cons of the challenge were the people who did not know how spoiled they really were, and made demands that were just incredible. Demanding free services, one on one tutoring from Ed and others, immediate response to their inquiries (which 99% of the time were user error) and refused to lift a finger to help themselves. It is a double-edged sword when teaching people for free that it attracts people from all walks and all parts of the human spectrum (and some of those really are unattractive and ungrateful).

I am not going to dwell on the negatives though, if I run something similar in a niche I will be setting the ground rules very early in the piece, if you don’t like how it is done then here is your refund and see you later. Life really is too short to put up with ingratitude and rudeness.

Team Afterparty is kicking on. I am going to approach the gals with a proposition about a female mastermind group that I have in mind. All of us have shown we have strengths in different areas and I think we would meld together well.

All in all a fabulous year and the one that really drove home to me that I am in teh right place doing the right thing to get to where i want to go.

I can’t thank the 30DC enough for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing event!

It All DOES Matter

If you are following my Tweets you will know that yesterday morning my ex-husband and father of my two children, died suddenly at the age of 47.

I have mentioned him before . His alcoholism was a large factor in me learning some of life’s hard lessons.

I learned always have a plan B (and C and D if you could).

That only YOU can save yourself, relying on others teaches you nothing but how to rely on others; they can help give you strength but in the end all effort must come from you.

And that everything you do should matter, and how it matters is up to you.

Although my ex-husband was a great example of how not to live, I will always attribute some of my best traits to having known him.
