The 100 day Editorial Content Challenge

As you know, I am a Self Leadership coach. I practiced as an attorney for 18 years in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Over the last three years, I incorporated coaching into my law practice as I became fascinated with patterns of behavior that led to people into the same types of problems repeatedly.

As a result, earlier this year, I decided I would rather help people change the root of their problems rather than put a band aid on the manifestation of the problem.

Now, I am a full time personal coach specializing in the art of change and self leadership in professional development, creativity and cultural identity. I coach my clients to embrace change and create more authenticity in their lives using the principles of positive psychology, self-leadership skills, and the latest research findings in neuroscience.

Melody Campbell, The Small Business Guru is coaching me on being an Internet Super Hero. As I moved my professional presence from a storefront, bricks and mortar law practice to an Internet virtual coaching practice, I have faced challenges that I did not know how to navigate my way around.

She is coaching me live on her radio show every week on how to tap into my client’s minds, develop a powerful presence on the Internet and how develop and grow my virtual coaching practice.

To that end, Melody has challenged me to a 100 day Editorial Content Challenge where I have to produce a written or audio piece for my coaching practice. I was hesitant to do this because of the upcoming holidays. However, it is perfect timing! By the New Year, I will be living my New Year’s resolution. How perfect is that!

Also, if I produce five things in one day, it counts as five days worth of work.

My three coaching areas embracing change and developing self leadership in professional development, creativity and cultural identity. The Editorial Content 100 day challenge includes creating one product a day in any of those areas as follows:

1.     Ezine Article

2.     Blog Entry

3.     Report

4.     Ezine Newsletter

5.     Youtube video

6.     Radio show

7.     Squidoo lens

In addition, each day, I will deliberately convert someone I am following in my social networking circle into more of a personal friend or acquaintance. I will read their blogs, make comments, tell them about this challenge, see how I can support them and solicit a stronger relationship with them. Also, it will be my opportunity to see if they would be a great guest on my radio show.

The challenge started November 21, 2008 and ends on February 28, 2009.

I will post my status on SuccessITV.com, Twitter and Facebook often. I will just give a brief synopsis of what I have done or what challenges I am facing. I am asking you to help me be accountable and give me support. Check in on me and see how I am doing. Also, please feel free to introduce me to people you know so that I can have a stronger connection with them as part of my social network.

My success is your success. I encourage you to read this and follow me for this 100 day challenge and learn from it and refer others so they can learn from it. However, if you can, please join me on this challenge. Tell others about it. Tell new coaches about it and let us get to know each other and support each other during this time.

By the end of this challenge, I will have started my radio show, finished up my blog that is now in progress, produced at least 100 pieces of content that are blog posts, articles, reports, videos or audios that directly benefit others. How great is that! I will feel masterful and deliberate about my Internet presence and I will be seeing the cash flow results as a result of my efforts.

Here is to our collective success!

Happily,

Iyabo
