NOV. 3 - REPLY TO THIS COMMENT WITH YOUR LINKS (if any) FOR THIS DATE (weekly posting to your Substack is fine, but I recommend posting to Notes daily).

HERE ARE THE RULES: 1️⃣ 👉🏼The challenge will last throughout November with a minimum commitment of *one weekly post and three notes.* 2️⃣ For November's challenge, everyone who wants to participate must set up a Substack. It doesn't have to be fancy, but you need one. 3️⃣ POST TO YOUR SUBSTACK ONCE A WEEK (MINIMUM). FOR EVERY POST PUBLISHED, SHARE A 'NOTE' LINK TO YOUR POST. ▶️ For example, if I published a post titled: "The 5 Reasons You Should Buy My 50-year-old Worn Out Sneakers," I'd share it on 'Notes' by saying, "Think antiques are expensive? Have I got a deal for you!" (followed by the link to my Substack post.) 4️⃣ Then post BOTH links to the dated entry in this thread. Remember, everything you do along the journey related to your Substack's topic is raw material for writing about. No one said getting to 5-Figures was easy, but these are the steps to start taking. P.S. Go BOLD or go home!

This is quite a big bite at the apple, as the saying goes. Would anyone be willing to join in a small group challenge to either create a new or resurrect an old YouTube Channel as a long term challenge? HERE’S WHAT I’M THINKING. 👉🏼 Each week I’d post one task required to building a YouTube channel 👉🏼 We’d have a week to accomplish it and report back in that thread 👉🏼 Every other week we’d get together on a Zoom call to ask and answer questions 👉🏼 I can pull in a few resources, but I’m a participant more than a leader 👉🏼 I know enough from previous experience with a motorcycle channel to know how to build a channel WHY THIS CHALLENGE? ➡️ I watch YouTube like other people watch Netflix ➡️ It’s easier than even to become monetized ➡️ Raw videos (non-cinematic, shot with a phone or web-cam) are very popular right now (little if any editing) ➡️ YouTube is a bigger search engine than Google 😳 I was going to do this anyway, so I thought I’d make it a weekly challenge if there are others interested. Trust me, I’m the last person who’s comfortable doing video, but with the rise of faceless channels and Loom videos without having to be on-screen, things are open to many of us who are camera shy. Leave me a 🙌🏼 if you’re in!

You're never too old to have goals. // My 91-year-old mother's doctor told her never to stop planning the trips she enjoys taking with my sister (her caretaker). They've been on a European river cruise and one oceanic cruise to Iceland in the past two years. If she can do it (and she's not very mobile), we can indeed achieve our goals, too, with the technology at our fingertips. // TAKE OUT THAT MAGIC CRYSTAL BALL (HUMOR ME) THAT ALLOWS YOU TO CREATE YOUR FUTURE Let your gaze see into the fog swirling inside the crystal ball (like in the Wizard of Oz), and tell us what you'd create regarding your business, Substack, or passion project (these might all be rolled into one). - How much money would you like to earn each month? $10K, $25K, $50K? - If you achieved that, how would your life be different? - What would it feel like to be that person living that lifestyle? Let us know below...👊🏼

For November's challenge, everyone who wants to participate must set up a Substack. It doesn't have to be fancy, but you need one. 👉🏼The challenge will last throughout November with a minimum commitment of *one weekly post and three notes.* Setting one up takes about 10 minutes, so if you don't have one yet, get busy. If you can't think of anything more creative, title it "[your name's] Substack." You can change it later. Even if your Substack is stale or abandoned, that's fine. You'll be reviving it in this challenge. Remember, everything you do along the journey is fodder for writing about. No one said getting to 5-Figures was easy, but these are the steps to start taking. 👉🏼Are you in? Give me a thumbs up 👍🏼 or a high-ten 🙌🏼 if you're on board! P.S. Go BOLD or go home!
