Mom2One,

I hope that you were just having a moment when you wrote the last post.

I found last years 30dc in January 08 like many people, after it was over. I watched the videos and tried as best I could to make it happen.

What I find most appealing about the '30 DC' community is it never ends.

My understanding is this is not a race. It is a challenge as defined by Merriam Webster as:

5 a: to confront or defy boldly : dare <he challenged his critics to prove his guilt> b: to call out to duel or combat c: to invite into competition <he challenged his brother to a tennis match>6: to arouse or stimulate especially by presenting with difficulties <she wants a job that will challenge her>"

Unless I'm wrong, and that could be, we are all trying to build strong foundations for an IM business with the great tools and insight of the 30 dc team.

I have started many other businesses and none of them got off the ground in 30 days.

Everyone here should realize that 30 days is just the start. I could take years for some of us to make it happen, that is the way it is in learning any business that you expect to become successful in.

So, while you may not make your first $ during the 30 days, so what. Just keep going as the universe permits. It won't let you down, and the teaching is 'spot on' and will work for many months to come.

"If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

..... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
