21 Days...

Psychologists tells us that after 21 days, repeated behavior becomes habit. I am not in the habit of listening to psychologists - they're crazy! - but studies have shown this particular maxim to be true. What, you may ask, does this have to do with any of us? Well, it's simple. We need to get into the habit of forming good habits...

This is why you see so many 21 day programs, or 21 day email sequences. Thee is something about doing something for 21 days that has proven transformative.

In this vein, I am challenging myself to do the following:

1. For 21 days in a row, write on my blog here at Wealthy affiliate. This will help me form the habit of gracing my own "money" blog with fresh, relevant content on a regular basis.
2. For 21 days in a row, watch a training video. This will form a habit of lifelong learning and kaizen, the system of gradual but steady improvement. Other studies have shown that reading a book a week on a subject for 52 straight weeks will make an individual one of the world's foremost experts on that particular subject. The combination of video and written word here at WA will have an even more profound effect, as several senses (visual, cognitive and auditory) are simultaneously engaged, speeding and deepening the learning process.
3. For 21 days in a row, engage in some sort of marketing activity. Keyword research, riving traffic, writing autorespnder followups...some sore of marketing activity must be engaged in on a daily basis. This fosters the habit of simply doing what must be done. Success is a process, true, but it's also a set of learned behaviors. Not everyone can be a genius, or tall, or handsome, or athletic, but most anyone can learn to be successful.

For anyone who bothers to take the time to read this post (and, by the way, you have my sincere thanks), I would challenge you to follow suit. These 21 days don;t have to be simultaneous. You may start writing on your WA blog today. start watching a video today net Thursday,and start engaging in a daily marketing activity two weeks from now. The point is, whenever you begin each step, you must continue for 21 consecutive days.

I'd be interested in anyone who follows suit sharing their journey in this post's comments. There will be days you don;t feel like it. I understand. I didn't feel like writing this pot; I'm tired. I wrote it anyway. There will be days you don't see the point. Take a gander at your bank balance, and see if that reminds you. Well, I'm done. Happy hunting.
