February Challenge – 30 Days To Create A Tribe

It’s a new month and the start of a new challenge. Before I start on this one here’s a quick update on my challenge from last month.

The challenge I set myself for January was to finish writing my book. The update is that I didn’t finish and I haven’t written as much as I’d like but I’m so glad I set myself the challenge because I am much much further than I was or would’ve been had I not done this experiment.

The upshot is that setting yourself a deadline on things you’ve wanted to do, but put off for quite sometime, is the perfect way to give yourself the kick up the butt; how else are you going to get yourself to take action?

When you do the challenge make sure you tell people and get them to hold you accountable.

The main aim is to make progress. It doesn’t matter if you succeed or fail, just that you get started, keep going, and get as close to your target as you can.

With my book I’m nearly at the point where I’m ready to start sending sample chapters to publishers and that was more important to me than completing it.

Challenge For February

Initially, the challenge I wanted to do in February was observing 30 days of silence but because of the way things have unfolded and the extra shows I’m doing on my radio station, I’ve decided to postpone it until a later month.

So I had a think about a conversation I had with fellow comedian Hyde Panaser and also fellow blogger Arvind Devalia regarding encouraging other people to adopt this idea and concept of doing a 30 day challenge.

So I thought why not use February to see how many people I could get to sign up to doing a 30 day challenge for March. My goal is to get 1000 people to commit themselves to taking on a challenge for the Month of March.

Why not make a commitment and do something you really want to you? Is there a task you’ve put off and would like to accomplish?

Have you always had the idea of writing a book and never done it?

Do you want to lose a stone?

Have you been planning to de-clutter your house for the past 5 years?

Have you put off starting that small business you’ve always wanted to start?

Have been afraid to start voluntary work because you didn’t know where to begin?

Do you want to be paint drying watching champion? (Yep, they actually have that now!)

Whatever it is, use this opportunity to get started and I’ll be more than happy to support you.

I don’t want to create a tribe just for the sake of it. The whole point of this is I want to show you that you can make a massive shift in your life if it’s something that you’ve been meaning to do for a long time.

You will have to make sacrifices. You may need to put off a few smaller insignificant things (Like your children perhaps? 😀 [kidding]) but in the long run it will be truly worth it.

The other benefit of creating this tribe is so that you will get to know several people who are attempting the same thing as you and you will have the opportunity of supporting each other.

What are you waiting for?

If you want to join me in doing a 30 day challenge for the month of March leave a comment below to join me.

You can do anything you like so long as it’s something significant for you and will make a big impact on your life or make a big contribution to your community.

      I’m doing a challenge every month but if you read the article again it’s about deciding to do something big with me in the Month of March, not February. 😉

  3. Jayne says:

    I’m going to turn my goal of starting my consulting practice into a reality: I’ve been dreaming too long!

    • Amit Sodha says:

      Hey Jayne! Thank you so much for Joining the challenge. If you get the chance. Tell me more, what sort of consulting do you do and how long has it been on the burner?

      • Jayne says:

        Hi Amit! It’s an equine nutrition and management consultancy. Ideas have been swimming in the back of my mind for some time but, I’m working on turning the dreams into a plan of action!

  4. Katie says:

    I’m in, Amit, thanks for the challenge! Mine will be to rebrand my consulting business to be in line with my vision – more oriented towards personal growth – and attract the kinds of clients I want. 🙂

    Amit,
    I have been reading your emails over time and I will participate in your 30 day challenge for March. I decided to finally start the herb garden I’ve putting off and start Yoga classes as well. Thank you for your Blog and your time 🙂

    • Amit Sodha says:

      Hey Claudia, that’s truly awesome to hear and it’s fab that you’re taking up the challenge! Keep me updated on your progress in March and encourage your friends to do the same! 🙂

      • Claudia says:

        Hi Amit,
        So I’m updating you with my 30 day challenge and I am happy to report that my herb garden is all set and ready! As small of a goal it was, I accomplished it and feels great!!!
        I have also started doing yoga at home. Thank you for all your inspirational and motivational words 🙂

        • Amit Sodha says:

          Wow claudia, that’s absolutely amazing!! I’d love to hear more about what you did and perhaps if you’re up for the challenge why not even an article about it that we can share with the readers here and tell them about your experience!

          😀

    Hi bro,
    Thanks for this post. I’m in! In March, I’m going to try and complete the first draft of my book. I’ve got so many notes and loose papers all over the place. It all needs to be consolidated. I’ve been meaning to complete this for a while but have been a little lazy and busy with other ventures. I’m confident that it will be sorted in March. Cheers!

    • Amit Sodha says:

      That’s awesome Milan. I’m so glad we have each other to support in this project. I’m going to send you a few of my sample chapters very soon so I can start sending them to some publishers! 🙂

  7. Lisa H. says:

    Hi Amit,
    I am in! I have so many things going on right now, I could pick any one of them as a challenge for March. As you can probably tell by that statement, I need to gain more focus. So, here goes… my challenge for March will be to finish (it is pretty much complete) and put my first digital information product for sale up on my blog.

    • Amit Sodha says:

      Hey Lisa

      So glad you took on the challenge and how did it go for you? I’m continuing mine for the next few months also and trying out some new ones too! So glad you are keeping well! 😀

      • Lisa H. says:

        Hi Amit,
        Thanks for checking in. It has been completed. We plan to upload it this weekend. 🙂 Whew! What a month. Yes, I too plan to keep the momentum going.
