How I feel about the IMRemarkable journey:
At first I was overwhelmed and didn’t really know where to start so I looked at what other people were doing in the challenge. A gigantic cartoon like question mark floating overhead was what was up then. I thought
“well I could not do anything and keep hitting a brick wall with my progress, or…
“I can figure out what it’s going to take to move forward no matter what and take massive action”
… I chose the latter of the two:
Taking massive action.
I finally saw a coherent process to everything involved after learning that the IMRemarkable team set up a sample blog we could all follow along with.
While I didn’t make a bagillion dollars overnight or even in the week or so of the competition, I’m happy with my progress because I did SOMETHING, rather than sitting around doing nothing because I wasn’t 100% sure what to do.
Did I fail?
You betcha
Did it feel good to fail?
Yes it did because now I can continue to test, track, measure, and tweak my way to even better results going forward as a direct result of having gone through the IMRemarkable competition.
I FINALLY left behind the opportunity seeker mindset
after going through this challenge, experiencing firsthand, and relearning something I learned back in high school when I was on the track and field team…
It takes strategy, a desired outcome, a coach, a team of supportive action takers, a burning desire to succeed, and massive action to win.
Thank you Howie and team for kicking my butt into gear onto building a business, leaving the hobbyist opportunity mindset behind.
