I want you to join me on a unique experiment. The goal is to help more people find their passion over the course of the next 52 weeks and take action on that passion. I’m hoping that leading by example will be the best approach. I have set my own list of yearly and weekly goals to force myself to do new things. I will share my process and progress about each of those goals in a weekly Sunday blog post. This is the day one blog post, and I’ll have the week one blog post out next Sunday evening, Hawaii time, with a new blog every Sunday.
So why I am doing this? Recently, I’ve been on a journey of self-reflection and self-improvement. If you read my last two blogs, you’ll see that I created an action plan and succeeded in several large goals. I hope to accomplish more. Throughout the last few months I have dramatically increased the amount of time I’ve been listening to audiobooks and podcasts related to self-improvement.
I was partially inspired by several podcasts including the Ziglar Show and 48 Days to the Work You Love, among others. What prompted me to action was an archived podcast of Entrepreneur on Fire with guest host Nathan Latka, who said something along the lines of “Winners take imperfect action, and losers are still planning the perfect plan.” After hearing those words, I decided to take action with the endeavor.
I have several irons in the fire, but I decided to get more engaged on my blog, which has been languishing. One of those irons is a non-fiction motivational book I’m two-thirds of the way finished writing. I hope to complete the rough draft in two weeks. I have another book, a scifi time-travel book, which I plan to have done within three weeks of the motivational book. I’ll keep you update on the progress of both.
In the process of documenting, writing, and doing new things every week, I hope to create a journey of discovery and develop a network of likeminded entrepreneurs, writers, readers, and friends. I am open to your suggestions for things you think I should try, or people you think I should contact. I would also like to hear from you if you’ve tried something new in the prior week. If it has enough value, I may share your experience on the next week’s blog post, so feel free to send them in by selecting the contact me section on my website. Also, If you are a successful writer or entrepreneur, would like to submit a guest blog post, or know any successful writers or entrepreneurs, you are more than welcome to share the post or contact me directly. With no further ado, I’ve listed my goals below, and you’ll see my progress and comments next week Sunday June 26th.
Yearly goals to be completed by 11:59 PM HST June 18th 2017.
