A Gift for Yourself 10/16/2009
Be assured that you're not letting anyone down when you can't make a proposed Power Hour. You can just as easily have a Power Hour on your own, and that would create success for you too! The group element is just an option that some have found helpful. Whatever time you dedicate to your 100-Day Project is a gift to yourself. If you were meeting with a client for an hour, you would be entirely focused on them. You wouldn't check email or surf the web while they were in your office to visit you. For one Power Hour, treat yourself as you would your client, and for this hour, your client's project (your 100-Day Project) is the most important project on the table. For all of us, on some level, our 100-Day Challenge Project is the project we never seemed to have time for in the first 265 days of the year. It's your special project now, because it's a project that improves YOU: It makes you better for yourself, the work you do, and the people around you. Isn't THAT worth the gift of an hour today? Add Comment Power Hour Aftermath: Community Commitment 10/09/2009
Congratulations to everyone who participated in tonight’s Power Hour. And for those who could not make it this time, thank you for sending us your good intentions! We all got a lot done, and many people kept working past the hour, while the irons were still hot! One 100-Day Challenger told me afterwards that for them, it was all about the commitment. Once they made the commitment and started, the hour became easy. This is similar to what Jack Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books, says about success: That it’s not the level of skill, intelligence, power, money, influence, or anything else that makes a person successful. It’s a person’s level of commitment. That couldn’t have shown up more true than it did tonight. We had committed Challengers from around the state (that I know of!), all present for their work in the same hour-long time-space. In logical terms, this should be no big deal. And I’ll be honest: When I set this up, I knew I would get a good hour of work in, but I didn’t know how the Power Hour could actually be powerful. Hours after Power Hour has ended, I’m still stunned by its effect on me, my work, and from the scattered feedback I've gotten, on you and your work as well. Another Challenger described my feeling best after Power Hour. They said, “Thank you very much for this opportunity,” and I was thanking them back! I felt blessed to be there, working away with you, all of us knowing that we were getting closer to our goals together, and that this hour of work was making a difference. All of us, as 100-Day Challengers, are interested in the other Challengers’ successes as much as our own. Let’s keep raising all the boats in the harbor! Please feel free to drop some comments around this Power Hour: your success, what made it work for you, your thoughts for improvement, whatever! Success can be measured in more than just numbers, so feel free to measure your success in quantities and qualities that you feel good about! More Power Hours (and Half-Hours) are being scheduled, so email your date/time preferences to me directly at SoulmateFromWithin@gmail.com. I’ll set up the teleconference line to last for 15 minutes afterwards, for anyone who’d like to debrief, celebrate, or even get some quick coaching around a hiccup in your 100-Day Challenge. (Any coaches who would like to volunteer their gifts to other Challengers are welcome!) | The Next 100 DaysSubscribe
