Upon completing the first week in the 31 Day Growth Challenge, I have grown to become confidently focused on developing an effective channel. I made the sign "I FINISH WHAT I START" ….because Alexa instructed me to :)….and am proudly displaying it by my work table.

Grab your favorite cup of tea and enjoy my recap! (Mine is peppermint tea☕🍃) 𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪𝗟𝗘𝗗𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗼𝘂: • To those others who liked my posts, THANK YOU! • To those who commented on my posts, THANK YOU! • To those who cheered me on, checked in on me, and pushed me, THANK YOU! • To the one who created this challenge, Alexa S, THANK YOU! • To you who never commented but allowed me to tag you anyway, THANK YOU! Because just appearing in your notifications was enough that you saw I was working this challenge and thought about you. I appreciate that you allowed me to share my journey with you. 𝗠𝘆 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲: It aligns with this quote: "And the first shall be last" (~Jesus Christ). I started out first in this calendar year. Then I encouraged others to join me--and all of you did! Then the adversary threw all types of curveballs trying to throw me off track! It didn't, but I paused when needed... (debilitating frozen-in-place weather, witnessed a car rollover accident, mild PSTD because of it, shocking deaths, ridiculously irate client, tax preparation--3 of them, and more...). Only a few of them you know about, but I KEPT GOING! And YOU Encouraged me along the way. You pushed me when I felt bad that I was "no longer the leader" of this unofficial nucleus group of Cheerleaders, Supporters, and Accountability Partners--THANK YOU, A HUGE THANK YOU!!! (Wish I could make that bold & bigger). Oh, and not to mention my duties here as a Creator Boost Tribe Admin and Live Call Co-host. I do those first before I do anything with the challenge, my YT channel(s), and now my Community. 𝗠𝘆 𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗬 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗬: • I decided not to do the challenge day until all other important tasks are done (yours may be first thing in the morning or over the weekend). I was so excited about this challenge that it was all I wanted to do. • I read the workbook first, wrote my answers if I know them, re-watched the video with a fine-tooth comb, made draft comments on my post about that day, added my accountability partner tags, and responded to comments on my post. Sometimes I was so excited I would wake up overnight and work on my challenge days.

It's an awesome feeling to have completed the 30 Day Challenge TODAY and I was concerned about being able to do it. Yahoo I recommend for everyone to do this 30-day challenge if you want to become a serious content creator, grow your channel and then earn income.💯🔥💥

Alleuliaaaaa…..I ACTUALLY did it. I completed DAY 4 of the 30 Day Growth Challenge. I am jubilant! I had NO idea or the relavance of adding a playlist or links. I do now! Give my channel a quick peek: Draw the Story@livingbooksketches. However, I am not pleased w/ the banner. I will be listening & learning from the videos Alexia listed about creating banners via Canva. Thanks so much for the Support: @Jaye Brunner @Dr. Saundra Stancil @Sb Hendricks @Lillie Handy Dominguez @Ricardo Solomons @Casey Hamlin @Jenny Sharratt @Desley Casey

Oh my gosh, can I cry🥹? It's here. The last day of the challenge. It has been a loooonnngg time coming. First statement in the video from Alexa, "You Did It!" My Response: I Smiled! I said it too, then I had to pause and receive her smile and celebration that I did it! To respond to her first statement in the workbook: "I am a Bona Fide YouTube Content Creator" My Consistency Identity Statement: "I don't post when I feel ready, I post because I STAY Ready!" The habits or systems that helped me stay consistent during this 30 day challenge: My Accountability Partners for sure!!!❣️😍🥰❣️ The consistency challenges I overcame during this challenge: perfectionism🚫, fear🚫, overwhelm🚫, confusion🚫. What surprised me the most about my own growth: Followers here in the Creator Boost Tribe and my Gift of Leadership. (Thank You, God!🙌🏾) Comparing Day 1 to Day 30: I feel Full Out Confident! Ready to GO! The identify I am stepping into: YouTube Content Creator The single biggest lesson from the entire 30-Day Challenge: I need this: A consistent organized pattern to follow that is easy to understand and implement. What I would tell my Day 1 Self: ("Wow, make me want to cry)! "Thank you, @Dr. Saundra, for starting this challenge. You are free to be what you want to be, was destined to be. You are FREE Now.💋" (Yes, I would kiss myself) Wow, tears and emotions welled up in me! What's unique too is I love how Alexa has a "Final". Yes, a Final Exam. And with all of that worked on and all that was said, I am onward to: • Creating a Template for Scripting • Planning & Records my ASQ Videos • Fine tuning my SEO • Continue Serving my Passion Niche Community • Follow the 14-Video "The Creator Prosperity Series" Alexa mentioned • Continue Growing my YouTube Channel • Follow-up, Support, & Meetup with My Cheering Accountability Partners Side Info: • Current Niche: Teaching Gift Basket Biz Startups • Pivoted from: Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse Gratitude Statement: ❣️❣️❣️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❣️❣️❣️(I have no words, only emojis💚💚💚)
