"If I am going to be a slave to habits, then let me be a slave to good habits." Og Mandino

In the course of life we gain many things and an abundance of information. How much of it do we use? We have each been born with specific gifts and talents. Are we using these talents to move forward in life?

It takes 21 days to create, change, or replace a habit

In our fast-paced get-it-done lives, at times we get too busy to absorb or truly digest all the gifts and tools bestowed upon us in our daily existence. Sometimes, it's just TMI, too much information, and then at times its a matter of discernment. What's real or Memorex?

With dormant memory I^♦ recalled I saw a 30 Day Black Business Builder's challenge, which I thought was a good idea, but wasn't yet ready to embark on the journey, I awoke last week wondering how do I get the traffic I need to generate the attention and sales I want. "Oh, yeah, Black Business Builders has that video blog training. I do make some great promotional videos, but the time..."

Now, once my brain gets to working that's it. "Well, it doesn't matter when I start the 30 Day Challenge, the point is the structure, the discpline, and using the valuable information I already have and stop trialing and erroring this internet thang!"

Paralyzed or Empowered?

Spawned from the mainframe computer era and a Basic Programming background, I have become a creature of trial and error and writing my own programs. Well, I've decided it is time to stop reinventing the wheel and actually use some of the phenomenal tools, I have been blessed to receive. No more skimming through, grabbing a tip here and there.

"I WANT TO DO BETTER"

So, here it is My 30 Day Do Better; Use It or Loose It Challenge! This challenge is specifically designed to:

• provide myself with 30 days of structured marketing and business development training
• develop the habit of meditating and exercising daily
• institute a traffic generation campaign and increase my targeted traffic four fold
• empower, motivate, and to manifest success through positive purposed thought
• continually and easily implement lessons learned

If you are in the mood or mindset for a growth spurt, please join me in the challenge. You may follow the challenge to the letter and reap its just rewards or use the structure and implement valuable tools you may have left laying dormant. The point is join me. I don't want to do this by myself (but I will if necessary!).
