I challenged my community to a 30 Day Get Focused Challenge starting August 26th.

The result?

466 people signed up to join us and 287 participated in our vibrant Facebook community.

If you’ve ever struggled with finding focus or balance in your life, then keep reading.

These courageous people showed once and for all that it’s possible to change your habits and behaviors in just 30 days.

Here are some of the biggest breakthroughs, ahas, lessons and realizations that were shared along the way:

My favorite part of this challenge is that this is NOT just a get more done on your To Do List. It IS creating an individual schedule that includes all the parts of your life that are important to you… including flexibility and adventure.

We are creating our life manifesto, so to speak, not carving in stone a rigid never ending list of tasks to complete no matter what. Yeah Marisa, you are challenging us around our beliefs as well as our use of time, energy, schedules, free time, me-time, task time, and our values.

Oh, and many of us (me included) are getting to look at our resistance to being told what to do….even if it is by ourselves. Lol ☺

INSIGHT #3 – Schedule your success.

My mentor Brendon Burchard says that he can tell how successful someone is by looking at their calendar.

Eben Pagan took that one step further by inviting us to craft our “morning ritual” and our “ideal day.” He recommended spending the first 1-2 hours of your day in activities that nourish your body, mind and spirit before moving on to the highest priorities in your business.

And by highest, he doesn’t mean the most urgent – he doesn’t mean the emails waiting in your inbox. He means the things that will change the structure of your business over the long-term. Things like marketing and product creation.

Think about it, what would happen in your business if you spent an hour every day on marketing and another hour on product creation?

A lot, right?

Eben lead us through an exercise to not only craft our morning ritual and schedule the flow of our ideal day, but to commit to actually putting it in place in our lives.

So if you’d like to join me in taking back your time and living the most productive month of your life, then sign up for the 30 Day “Get Focused” Challenge and I’ll send you a copy of my “ideal day” so you can start dreaming up what you’d like yours to look like. I’ll also send you a link to our private Facebook group so you can join the tribe…

Here’s what happened when 316 people committed to putting aside their fears of being seen, their self-doubts and their self-consciousness, and committed to filming themselves every day for 30 days.

They filmed themselves, rain or shine. They filmed themselves on moments of heartbreak and moments of triumph….

They filmed themselves when they were feeling silly or philosophical or just plain frustrated…

And the more they filmed themselves, the more they found themselves… and the more we fell in love with them.

Here are some highlights from the 30 Day Video Challenge….

As you watch these videos, I invite you to imagine that the key to your success is being boldly, authentically, unapologetically you.

You don’t need anyone’s permission to be yourself. The only person who can stop you from being you, is you.

And the moment you give yourself permission to step up and step out as the real you — the moment you inspire yourself — is the moment you inspire others to join you.

I started the 30 Day Video Challenge, because I wanted to get really ninja at video. I thought that stepping through my fears of getting on camera and being seen, would help me achieve that next level of self-expression and growth.

What I didn’t expect, is the huge outpouring of love and gratitude I’d get from the 316 people who joined me…. And the love and gratitude I’d feel for them for showing me who they really were.

This Challenge resulted in thousands of videos — thousands of hours of creativity and expression – here are just a few of the many moments that stood out and rocked my world.

I just spent hours watching you all transform on camera — I laughed, I cried, I smiled.

You told me the experience was mind-blowing, life-changing, soul-touching, and just what you were looking for.

You shared your gratitude — for me and for the community — and you’ve inspired each other not just to keep going, but to continually grow, evolve, and push yourself to greater levels of expression.

I’m touched. I’m honored. And I’m beyond pleased to announce the winners of the Live Your Message 30 Day Video Challenge.
