Just because it's FREE ...........

ah, well Stephanie, you are more right then you know. If other statistics are a good benchmark, less then 5% of those here will 'get it'.

Good luck to all! No, let me take that back.... Good skill building to all! LOL!

There is NO WAY we cannot individually succeed IF we approach this challenge as if we have mortgaged our lives to do it. Literally, we all need to have an "attitude of gratitude" for every thing that is being handed to us on a silver platter!

Please, everyone, take this as seriously as you would if you went out and bought a business and needed to learn how to run it successfully from the ground up. Trust these guys, they have been around and know what they are talking about. There is a huge team of people involved who are supporting Ed in this, which in itself just goes to show how well respected he is. Trust his motivation for doing this - he truly is one of the MOST generous souls out there.

Well said, Sharon.

I learned during last year's challenge that it's easy to get all eaten up with anxiety, trying to absorb and apply so much content in so little time, trying to make that first sale by the 30 day deadline.

This year I've resolved to lighten up, to enjoy the process and the community, to be less concerned about a specific result and more committed to getting the most out of the whole experience. In a word, to have more fun.

That doesn't mean I won't apply myself diligently - I will. But I will also be more conscious of the generosity of not only Ed, Dan, GuruBob & the rest of the 30DC team, but of everybody who takes the time to offer advice, guidance, or encouragement to their fellow Thirty Day Challengers.

And the best way for me to honor their generosity is by becoming more generous myself - by looking for ways to help someone else succeed in this Challenge, even if I have nothing more to offer than an encouraging word.

Oh yeah - and by learning well, taking action, creating an online business empire to which I can someday point with pride and say "I owe this all to the Thirty Day Challenge"...

I think it boils down to this: There are other "guru's" selling IM products for a lot of money, that don't deliver what the 30DC delivers for FREE. These Guru's then feel the need to bash, criticize or belittle the 30DC crew just to make themselves feel better.

This is my 2nd year doing the challenge, and I still get floored with each lesson delivering far more than I could ever expect. It's nothing short of amazing, and there are legions of faithful followers to prove it!

Very nice! We are all grateful for the information that Ed, Dan, and the TDC crew is giving away!

Here Here Shraron,

You summed it up perfectly in your post. Ed and the team have taught me so much in such little time and I KNOW there is more to come.

Plus the community spirit on this team nothing short of remarkable. The willingness of people to help, share and nurture others is amazing.
Finally the moderators are fantastic. So far, everything I have asked (and there have been a few already!) has been met really helpful and sensible replies.

Thank you, all of you. I don't know how I stumbled upon this (probably SEO) but I am soooo glad I did, it's changing my life already.

Hear Hear Sharon - well said!!

As a 4th year "veteran" of the 30DC all I can add is that the challengers who really respect & use the value of what is happening here go on to bright futures! I suspect that the people who don't get the spirit of this place will forever wonder why life is passing them by!

Wonderfully, wise words Sharon. I think you have expressed the feelings of many of us - so thank you for such a great post.

I am still amazed, every day, that this challenge is free. Part of me whishes I had known of it when I first started researching online marketing almost two years ago now.

But, in reality, I have learned a great deal and cannot regret the path I have been on. The important thing is to act now, take the horse by the reigns and just gitty-up (I probably spelled that wrong, hehe).

My biggest challenge in online marketing has been the lack of a complete "blue-print" without the complete high-ticket price. Therefore, I have been learning in pieces. That's all well and good, and you can become an expert in some pieces, but - putting that puzzle together - that's the hard part.

Then, with the Thirty Day Challenge (#30DC), along comes a solution. An unbelievable solution. Ed Dale and his crew will take us by the hand, show us everything we need to do and the order to do it in. They will work with us, answering questions and creating videos on the fly! A completely dedicated group of individuals showing thousands of people at a time how to market successfully online!

Do you have any idea how much it costs to be in "inner circles" and "mastermind groups" to get this type of hand-holding and attention? It's priceless guidance, but the cost is unmanageable for most of us.
