Recently, I started a 30 day challenge. I had to pick 5 things to do and do them every day. The 5 things where:

1. Something to move your business forward
2. Something physical or exercise related
3. Something monotonous
4. Something to improve your brain
5. Commit to drinking a designated amount of water each day

We all get to pick our tasks and agree to commit to them. If you didn’t do it each day, you have to start again at 1.

My monotonous thing was to post a photo of my 5 ticks, the completed tasks into a Facebook group. I found that if I didn’t have external accountability I didn’t complete my task. In fact, I had to start the challenge 3 times even once at day 15.

As the group dropped off many people didn’t restart and only 1 other person was posting. I get a bit self-conscious and wished I didn’t have to post mine but I knew if I didn’t I would then have to restart again. No, that wasn’t going to happen.

So I continue day after day. The other lady reached 30 days and then upped her 5 things and continued onto 60 days. We chatted a bit.

She said that by me posting my photo every day kept her motivated to continue and yes, she reached 60 days. I also reached my 30 days.

I am not on my 2^nd attempt and the second 30 days (Day 3 at time of recording) and yes, I will succeed.

The reason I tell you this is because you never know who you are inspiring. Often I have heard people say if you are not getting lots of likes and interaction on your social posts to stop.

I disagree often people are watching from afar and although they may not react and are seeing your stuff. Obviously do more of what is popular if it serves your business. However, don’t stop the other posts if they serve you or your customer or potential customer.

If they don’t serve you then why did you put them there in the first place? Ask yourself that before posting any content. Entertainment is a valid way to serve but not all the time.
