Challenging yourself to write a specific number of articles during a period of time will take discipline, commitment, and determination. It is no wonder that these are also the traits of successful people. Even though I love to write, I also take my writing very seriously. I encourage you to do the same.

During the spring of 2007 I challenged myself to write 100 articles in 100 days. Many of you may have heard about this on one of my teleseminars or from hearing Jeff Herring talk about it. Jeff encouraged me to go for my goal and for that I will always be grateful. Unfortunately, I did not write 100 articles during those 100 days. It only took me 78 days and by day 100 I had written 112 articles. If I had not taken my own challenge, I would not be writing to all of you right now.

Reach a little higher and stretch a little further with your writing. Do not allow anyone to tell you that your writing is not good enough or that you should be doing something else. I did that for twenty years before I started writing again. If you are a writer you feel it deep inside. It is as much a part of who you are as the color of your eyes.

As you embark on this season’s challenge, imagine the possibilities that can come about because you have chosen to follow your passion. My life has completely changed because of my article writing. It has opened doors that would never have been opened, and given me a lifestyle I only dreamed of in the past. So go ahead, sign up for the challenge, and enjoy the ride.
