I had a few rough ideas of what I’d like to accomplish for the NAIWE 2010 Get it Done Summer Challenge. If you haven’t checked it out, the three parts of the Challenge are:
- Read three books that will stretch your mind and inspire your creative spirit.
- Finish one project that’s been nagging at you for longer than you care to admit.
- Brainstorm a new project that will bring you an additional stream of income, then take the first step to make it happen.
I read Sheri McConnell’s Smart Women Know Their Why (see review) for the first of my three books, and have a teetering stack from which I can choose the remaining two official Challenge books. This is the easiest part, because I know that before summer is over, I’ll have read quite a few more than three books. I schedule morning and evening reading times so that I can bracket each day in knowledge, inspiration, and sometimes, just plain fun.
The second element of the Challenge was to finish a nagging project. Read more…
Great idea, Janice! I am doing just that. I have needed to update and revise several of my books. This is *the* week.
To add an encouragement to those sitting on the fence… when I asked a handful of people for a response on their individual experience on becoming published (some were self-published and others traditionally) the people who responded within a few days of the request were those I’d term the “most successful.” Busy, successful, focused people get things done! Keep this in mind as you go through this great challenge!!
