Good day! This is the 7th episode of A Big Digital Hug. A marketing podcast for the modern entrepreneur hosted by me, Karen Coons, CEO and Founder of Digital Hugs Marketing. 

I'm so excited that you’re here.

This podcast is for modern entrepreneurs and marketers who want to take their marketing and brand to that next level, for years, not just months to come. We want to help you succeed and we don't just want to talk about it. If you'd like a free consultation with us, we'd like to hear from you. You can find the scheduling link here.

On the podcast today, I am going to walk you through developing an independent challenge for yourself that will prioritize 1 business goal (to start). The mission here is to dissect a goal that you have been dying to complete or you feel will help your business get closer to its goals or bring in more business. Whatever your reason for it, it has to be important to you.

Benefits of doing this...

  1. Obviously finishing or starting a project.
  2. Forming a habit. They say it generally takes 21 days to form a habit. Whether you are using this challenge to complete a project or start one, the benefit of forming a habit to accomplish goals is invaluable.

---As mentioned, I also promised to include a free challenge worksheet, you can get that here! https://www.digitalhugsmarketing.com/challenge/

Your 6-week challenge framework:

  1. Choose your goal
  2. Set the desired outcome
  3. Analyze your timeline and determine any needed changes you may need to make or any challenges you may encounter.
  4. Break the goal down into bite-sized tasks
  5. Decide how you are going to keep track of your time, tasks, and milestones. 
  6. Add scheduled time to complete your tasks in your daily calendar.
  7. Determine any resources you need to assign sections to. 
  8. Identify and set rewards for milestones
  9. Develop a support system. Tell co-workers, family, or friends about your challenge and ask for support.
  10. Execute. 
  11. Once you complete the 6 weeks. Reflect. 
  12. Keep moving forward.

The most important factors here are 1) choosing and defining a goal that you are extremely passionate about completing and 2) putting in the work to plan out

If you need help achieving this goal or any goal, I'd love to coach you. You can find out more here. Thanks for listening. I love that you’re here!
