LATEST UPDATE 31.8.2020
Greetings "Master."
As you know we starting our Pandemic Growth Challenge
It will run from 1st September through to the 31st December - 121 Blissful Days.
VIDEO
In this video I explain a brief outline of the concept plus what is going to happen over the next two weeks.
Slides
You don't want to listen to me drone on for 15 minutes? The slides are below. Click on them and they open up in a new window.
Key points
Two aspects
1. Growth
2. "Pandemic Proof" - remove risk.
You set your own goals based on where you are in your journey
It isn't about working 24 hours a day - you need RandR time - but there is no time like NOW to put effort into this business.
Next week is "planning week" (31st to 4th) there will be a series of videos to help you plan your challenge. At the end the idea is that you have something to work to, as opposed to "Do as much as I can and make as much money as I can."
7th to 11th is Sprint Week we start off with a BANG and aim to do "A months worth of productive work" in a week.
