I am excited to start this challenge again. If you don’t know what I am talking about let me explain.
First let me set the record straight. This is actually my third start at the challenge.
The first time was I believe in February, 2021. I was excited as I was a fairly new blogger however I had not written a blog for several months. I let other “things” get in the way.
You guessed it. I fell behind and didn’t feel I could catch up. So, I stopped. I was not following my power list and truthfully writing a blog wasn’t on it anyway.
I will write another time about the Power List and so for now just know it is my guide and definitely NOT a To Do List! At least a To Do List as most people think of one.
Telling Everyone
Yes, I am telling everyone! I didn’t finish the first blog challenge. Oh, maybe I should tell you what the blog challenge is. The Ultimate Blog Challenge is about writing and sharing a blog I write every day for whatever month it falls in. I can write about anything I want however if I am struggling to come up with an idea Paul, who runs the challenge, is kind enough to give an idea or two on what I could write. The nice part about that is I can either use it or it may give me ideas of an experience that has happened to me or someone in my life to write about.
No matter what I choose I need to write a blog each day. It is good practice and gets me to think about writing. Hence it is called the Ultimate Blog challenge.
So you see, I am telling you I am in this challenge again! You will hold me accountable by telling you.
The Second Challenge
In April it was announced the Blog challenge would begin on May 1, 2021. I knew I really needed to do it and finish this time. My mind was set to complete it. I would like to give credit to another challenge I was in at the time. It is a mental toughness challenge. I had started that one on March 18 and would finish May 31.
I was passed the little voice, the mental toughness to shut her down, telling me I couldn’t do it and also the blog challenge.
Well, I did finish all 31 days of May with a blog daily. I also finished the other challenge and ironically they both ended on the same day.
WOW!! That felt so good!
Blog Challenge #3
My third attempt at the Blog challenge started yesterday. This is day 2 and the blog I am writing is number 2. I am determined to finish this time also. I told you that you can hold me accountable. I just need to make sure I am writing in the morning and getting it done. My Power List will help me accomplish that. I also am in a Mastermind learning more about blogs, writing blogs, SEO and so much more. I am excited to be writing.
Oh, I am in that mental toughness challenge again also!!
To Your Success,
Deb

Hi Deb, Here we go again. So now you are an experienced blogger, do you recommend it to most of your clients?
Yes I do. Nothing like having to do something daily for it to get on the schedule and in my case my Power List. Than you for commenting.
I like your attitude and enthusiasm for blogging! You're doing great! I have taken much longer to do what you've done in a short amount of time! Congratulations and, as Doug likes to say, blog on!
