Default Getting Off The Ground?

Well my "30 Day" Challenge has turned into more of a 60-90 day challenge

Day 1 was on 3/6 and since then the days passed and even my free trial of Market Samurai lapsed, I did the first two days, but was struck with info overload, I strongly believe in this challenge and even the 2 days of activities I did, in just using a site such as Amazon to get ideas based off of my interests(sports, cars, travel, etc) and then finding out how to go from market to niche in Day 2 seemed like this was going to be a breeze, but then it just stopped. In this time I have switched jobs and have had other issues get in the way.

Just wondering if anyone else has had the issue of making a mountain of a mole-hill as I have, I guess after seeing the videos of Day 2 being over an hour in length and the pdf's being overwhelming, it has been somewhat discouraging, but at the same time while I am a professional procrastinator, I can also work great in spurts and usually when I get started with something(such as this first post), I work furiously until it is done- so then how do I apply this to a 30 day time period, complete the challenge, but most of all, keep on going AFTER the challenge and become one of the success stories of Ed's wonderful lessons?

Thanks for reading!

Focus on a day at a time and if you feel you can't achieve it all in 30 days then slow down and do it in the time you can.

Overwhelm is natural when learning something so new and different. Procrastination is a trait you will need to work on - we all procrastinate to some degree or another, so focus on the goal and set aside a particular time every day to work on it.

One of the things that made a huge difference for me in last years challenge was having a team.

We had weekly teleconference calls and kept each other motivated and accountable.

I'd highly recommend you check the Team section of the forum and find a team.

If you want to spread the Challenge over 60-90 days than perhaps you could start your own team of "Slow-pokes".
