Day One of My Third Blog Challenge

Happy New Year bloggers.  I am so happy to be participating with all of you in my third Ultimate Blog Challenge.  For those of you who are new to this challenge, I’d like to congratulate you on your decision to accept the challenge.  To everyone that I blogged with in the previous challenges, I’m happy to be blogging with you again.

Here are some things I accomplished during the first two challenges:

The first challenge:

•  posted 31 new blog posts

•  doubled the amount of comments at my blog

•  established several great relationships, personal and professional

•  enrolled in Michele Scism’s 30 Days to Create a Product (and did create the product)

•  wrote my first book using the blog posts and was promoted by Michele Scism

•  got raving reviews of my book from fellow bloggers

During the second challenge:

•  posted another 31 new blogs

•  learned about/how to use google analytics

•  more than tripled the comments on my blog posts

•  learned more about blogging than I knew there was to know

•  was asked to be a guest poster and invited several guest posters

•  wrote my second book which I am currently editing

•  developed even more relationships

Now I am participating in my third challenge; I think you can understand why. This one will be easier for me because I’m not using this challenge to write a book so I’ll be freer to be more spontaneous in what I write about and my guest posters can also be freer with their topics.

I’m looking forward to connecting with you and reading as many blogs as I can.  Please be patient with me if I don’t get to your blog on a regular basis.  I am starting a new year long course, launching my new program certifying coaches to empower teens and young adults to become entrepreneurs, I’ll be promoting my two books, developing a teleseminar, planning a live conference and keeping up my own blog, among other things.

Thank you Michelle and Michele for hosting this blog challenge again.  What a great way to start the new year.

Please take advantage of the free gift I have for you – Julia Neiman’s 2 Step Reality Check to Discover and Overcome the Hurdles That Stand Between You and Your Dreams.  This two step process that will guide you through self assessment designed to help you identify areas that might be out of balance as well as the hurdles you need to overcome in order to be in integrity and alignment on your path moving forward.  Simply enter your name and email in the subscription form at the top right side of the page to obtain your free gift.

Alyssa - January 1, 2013

WOW this is my FIRST blog challenge. I sure hope it brings me the benefits and results that your former challenges brought you. I have a book written and on the hard drive of my computer and scared to “launch” it. Did you do yours as an ebook?

    Welcome to the challenge Alyssa and happy new year! Get that book out there. I published first as an ebook, then a paperback and it should be on kindle this week. You have to really work this challenge, but the rewards are great. I didn’t start out to write a book. People who know me will tell you I kept saying i don’t want to write a book. Halfway through the first challenge, because my posts were topic oriented, I realized I was writing a book. Life is funny that way. Best of luck with the challenge.

Nanette Levin - January 1, 2013

Julia – so glad to see you’ll be participating in this UBC. I’ll be looking for your posts and supporting as I can. Sounds like you’ve had a busy year. Congratulations on all the accomplishments. Keep up the good work!

    Happy new year Nanette, I’m glad to see you too. That list was only what happened as a result of the challenges. 2012 was an enormously productive year in spite of the many challenges and 2013 is going to be very prosperous, abundant and healthy as well as productive. Thank you for your continued support, I’ll be supporting you as well.

Julia,
Wow! What amazing accomplishments. This is also my third challenge. I’m a personal blogger, not an entrepreneur or looking to market anything at this point in my journey. However, reading your testimony is inspiring. I look forward to following you and going back to familiarize myself with your journey to this point.

Blessings,
Kina

    Thank you Kina. I wrote my first book during the July 2012 challenge and the second book in the October challenge. So read those posts and you’ll be reading the unedited version of the books. I’m trying to get book 2 out to the market and have experienced many challenges along the way, not related to the book itself, just challenges in life that have thrown hurdles in my path. Now I have to get my focus back on the book.

    Happy new year. Nice to meet you.
