Good Morning, everyone. Welcome to the Path to 1 Million. This is going to be episode 166. So today is November 1st. I completed my 25 by 5k challenge. And I know I've talked about that a lot lately. What I've been thinking about over the past few days is what I'm going to do for my next body challenge. The reason why I spent so much time and effort thinking about these body challenges is because really overall in my life being on this 1% journey is about focusing on all the areas because I really do believe that all the areas of your life are interconnected. Mind, body, business, relationships. I recently added spiritual to that list as well. So what can I do on a daily basis that's going to help me to improve on these main areas of my life? So when taking a look at the next challenge that I want to do. Yesterday one of my good friend of mine, Ryan posted a note and asked me if I was going to do this GRIT challenge.

Now I belong to this monthly group of marketing, entrepreneurs these misfits that we don't really fit anywhere else together, but we fit really good together. And they started doing this thing called a GRIT challenge where every single day the physical trainer in our group, CJ releases a new set of exercises for our people to be able to go out there and complete these every single day. It's something different. Sometimes the exercises are something that you can do in your home. Sometimes you have to go to a park. Sometimes you have to find like, one of the challenges was to run uphill and do some kind of burpees, challenges or things like that. I really thought about signing up for that cause I thought it'd be really cool. 28 day challenge to do. And my only problem is is that during the month of November, there's going to be a four or five day stretch where I'm moving, I, I'm thinking of, you know, here I am, I'm in the middle of Texas or I'm in Oklahoma or Missouri or whatever state that I'm in while I'm in the process of moving, trying to find a rest area or a park or someplace else like that that matches the criteria of the challenge.

And the thing is, is you have to do the challenges every single day. You can't skip a day. If you, if you skip a day, if you don't post, if you don't put your stats up there, they kick you out. Right. That's, that's one of the rules of being in this 28 day challenge. It's, it's a pretty high bar to meet and I would absolutely love to push myself to meet that challenge, but I just don't think I can do it because moving across the country is going to be stressful enough. I'm going to have enough on my mind as I'm moving without having to worry about trying to find a park or a rest area or someplace that I can go to actually, you know, meet these criteria. So the thing is is like what can I do over the next 30 days? Cause I still want to do a challenge, right?

These, these challenges have become very important to me for the reason that it drives home a very key lesson that I learned in life. And actually I'm reading a book right now that's called Copywriting Secrets because I do want to get better at writing copy at being able to write better messaging that is going to take clients that is going to take clients of clients and get them to take some kind of an action. Whether that's to sign up for something or to schedule an appointment or, or buy a service or whatever that is. But I want to get a lot better at copy writing. And I had some experience at that earlier this year.
