This is an activity I have the folks in my coaching class “Stuck at the Starting Line” doing and I figured that I would invite anyone else who was interested to participate.
The concept is simple…
Failure is a habit. It’s a rut that we get into and many times just don’t know how to get out of. The good news is this… Success is a habit as well. It’s something that we develop and get used to till we get to the point where success is the EXPECTATION.
A good piece of news is that studies tell us that it takes 21 days to develop a habit. So, with these factors in mind here was the challenge I threw out:
Pick any old blog that you have. It doesn’t matter. New or old. Shoot, you can even open a WordPress.com blog if you want. It doesn’t matter! Then, for the next 21 days write something on your blog.
ANYTHING! It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t have to be a life changing article, it doesn’t have to win the Pulitzer Prize, JUST WRITE.
You can write about the weather. You can write a recipe. You can review a movie. You can share how you hate snow. JUST WRITE!
It doesn’t have to be long or short. JUST WRITE!
The purpose is to get yourself into the HABIT of writing everyday. We’re not going to worry about SEO or monetization or a million other things we could occupy our thoughts with. Just Write, and let the habit develop!
This is a way to get out of the starting block and into the race! I’ll share more as to what to do with this new habit later. Just keep writing!

Hey Michael, I decided yesterday to go a challenge to get content – any content – out there, did you read my mind?*
I’ll be posting at http://www.nathanbriggs.com/category/challenge-michael/
*if so, please ignore that thing about the alligator and the hooker, I totally imagined that. Honest guv’nor.
Hi Michael… I’m working on a new blog so this will be good motivation to get new content posted every day for the next month.
I’ll be posting at Recharge My Life – today’s post wound up taking me an hour and a half to write, so I’m going to have to come up with some less time-consuming ones for the next few days!
Why do you think it took so long, John?
I started out with something a little less time consuming in mind, but it kind of morphed into something quite a bit longer.
That’s one of my problems when I’m writing blog posts. I tend to get all kinds of ideas as I write, and then want to say everything at once. I need to learn to split it up into multiple posts to save time and have more days’ worth of content
Understood. Put those extra ideas into a system that you trust to pull from them later when you get writer’s block.
Michael,
I am so glad that I joined the course even though I cannot make it live. You are a motivator and I cannot remember when I’ve been this excited. I took a domain that I registered months ago and have been posting daily at http://www.integrityinmarketing.com
I am planning on making this my main blog. I am already getting encouraging feedback. I owe you man!
