Today’s the final day of the Ultimate Blog Challenge, and you are watching or reading my 30th consecutive post for April 2020.

I know I won’t keep up this new post creation pace, but I will be doing more writing and publishing in the day’s going forward than I have in the past few years.

I also know that I will continue to challenge myself … to do more  … to better myself and the world around me … and to stretch and to dream.

And Now I Want to Ask You …

30 Day Video Challenge Nov 2016

There are days I think I really need my head examined. Just signed up for my second 30 Day Video Challenge. OMG! Exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time. 

Did I mention I was one of the 5 Grand Prize Winners back when I did the March challenge. Holy Cow! was that an awesome surprise. I went from having done one or two videos several years ago to having 60 published and out there for all the world to see.

30 Day Video Challenge Nov 2016Even though I’m super super busy and tried to stay away I just couldn’t. You see I got so much buzz and benefit my first time around doing Felicia Slattery and Lou Bortone’s 30 Day Video Challenge in March 2016 that I didn’t want to miss out on all the great camaraderie, bonuses, and benefits when they opened the doors again for a brand new challenge that starts November 1, 2016. 

Imagine the big business boost you’d get if you had 30 new videos to market and promote your business.

Videos that create BUZZ for you!

Videos that increase your visibility and raise your online profile!

Videos that build your credibility in your niche!

Videos that get you powerful SEO!

Videos you can post on YouTube, Facebook, your blog and more!

Well, you can make this a reality with my friends Felicia Slattery and Lou Bortone when you join them in their upcoming 30-day Storytelling on Video Challenge! 

Go see all about it – but hurry because they are starting in just a few days! CLICK HERE for details!

Did you miss the November 1st start? No worries. I still recommend you jump in and get started today! Go at your own speed if that feels best for you. Or challenge yourself to catch up. Either way the benefits getting off stuck and into start are worth the effort and anxiety. Click here to signup. Hope to see you in the private Facebook group soon.

Here’s the returning alum quick video I did:

Business Rut-Relief. Challenge yourself to learn something new.

Blab 1 with Tassey Russo and Kat Sturtz

That’s just what Tassey Russo of Level Up Solutions and I did when we challenged ourselves to co-host our first Blab.  

We set two goals:

  • Tackle our procrastination on learning to use a new technology. How new? Blab just launched April 2015 and as I’m writing this on November 17, 2015, it still promoted itself as in Beta format.
    – Both Tassey and I had previously attended a couple Blabs and felt immediately that the format jived with our relationship-building personalities and preferences. But we were still hesitant to just jump in an host our own individually.
  • In addition to learning the hosting controls by actually doing it live (warts, cyber-gremlin potentials and all) we wanted to share something of value with whoever attended live or watched the replay. It only took a moment or so to realize what we were struggling with at that moment was likely an excellent discussion topic.

Happy to report both goals were met and exceeded our expectations. Over 25 attended our first Blab, with several sharing live in the guest seat and many others engaging in the written chat. 

Here’s the replay. And do share in the comments what challenges you face in your business, as well as some of the tips or actions you take to get yourself out of a business rut.

The man with the constant challenge

By Kat Sturtz Leave a Comment

Jeongwon Yoon

Strange … in an intriguing sort of way … how the direction of one’s commitment can change the dynamics of a situation.

I was working on a completely different post today — one about how hoarding things in an attempt to keep us, others or things safe — can backfire to the point where safety no longer equals safe but confined, stifled, stuck.

It was part of my commitment to completing this month’s Ultimate Blog Challenge (31 posts in 31 days). I stopped for a break and checked my email. The first one listed was notice of a new article titled “I Would Tell You My Story” posted by Jeongwon Yoon on his blog, Social Won. Won, who is now a friend, is a talented former ESL Conversational English student of mine. He lives and works in South Korea.

In his post, Won shares how one should, and can, commit to carrying out one’s duty. He talks about a main principle of Confucianism dealing with the proper order of all things within the Universe, including human society. He describes simply, with no bravado, how he chose, and continues to choose, to accept his various duty’s in life, such as son, student, soldier, writer, dreamer, engineer, employee.

I was immediately struck by the difference between Won’s commitment to succeed by constantly seeking challenges compared to a hoarder’s commitment to the allusion of safety by seeking to maintain the status quo.

[jun jun chen chen fu fu zi zi] means that a king behaves like a king, a retainer behaves like a retainer, a father behaves like a father, and a son behaves like a son. In other words, a person carries out one’s duty. For this reason, I think that I should behaves like a student since my status is a student. That way, I studied a lot and I fulfilled the role of a student.

I never gave up for the reason that major subjects are difficult. Especially, when I was the junior student, I selected all subjects as the applied major classes. I always make a plan and study my major systematically so that I could be the top in my major.

My hope is that you’ll take a few moments to pause in your busy day to read the rest of Won’s article. Click here. Or check Won out on Facebook here.

wheelchair-bike (patent pendingLearn more about the patent he’s already earned and about his newest invention, Wheel-cycle,  that’s currently entered into the Capstone Design Competition, and has been drawing a lot of a venture capital interest for its unique benefit to the disabled.

Won ends his post with this advice and offer of encouragement.

 All of my activities are not useless. I could grow up my self with my activities and I could build my portfolio. The numbers do not tell the whole story. With my portfolio, I could write down my resume and I could put my best foot forward to interviewers because I was honest about my story. University life is not short. If you have passion, you could make your time best. I expect you to do your best. or Good luck to you!

Are you committed to living life in a safety zone? Or are you more like Won committed to seeking constant challenge to improve yourself and the society in which you live? According to Confucius, when we accept responsibility and carry out our various duties as we go through life, we are helping to create and maintain harmony within the Universe.

I, for one, think harmony is worthy of commitment. Do you? Is part of the constant challenge you wish to seek?
