“I went from being a miserable Behavioural Economist to a very happy ‘Designer and Maker of Stuff’ thanks to the 30 Day Challenge. Today, I have a portfolio of different creative mini-businesses that pay me. Oh, I signed my friend Mark up for the 30 Day Challenge earlier this year and guess what? He now works for himself too!”

On the Challenge, Jody Day started Gateway Women to support & inspire childless women like herself and her idea went viral within the 30 days. Jody now has a global reach of 2 million, an revenue-generating online community, and a bestselling book. “Doing the 30DC gave me both a deadline and the encouragement I needed to get the first version of the Gateway Women website live and book my first public talk, despite my incredible nerves! Thanks for helping me to help so many other women.”

“I am the world’s worst procrastinator, plus I moved house during the 30DC, have ongoing work commitments, a toddler, and a very active dog – yet I still managed to produce something I was proud of. If I can do it, so can you!”

Claire Hughes

It seems like a miracle but I overcame procrastination, one of my key weaknesses, thanks to those 20 minute blocks.

I achieved more in 30 days doing something I love just for myself than I have done in 10 years.

David Barker’s project was to use his love of making things to create a simple meditation stool and then…

”I found an opportunity to get paid to teach courses for others on how to make the wooden stool. And my courses got me noticed by the BBC for a national TV programme.

And just today, the MOD paid me to teach ex soldiers how to make a bench. How did that happen!!”

I went from ‘technophobe’ to ‘app developer’.

I now have an app in the App Store. The Life Guidance and Inspiration App has been listed in the What’s Hot listings continuously and has received almost 100% 5 star reviews and ratings. It has already had nearly 3000 downloads in more than 60 countries, with more downloads each day.

How did I do it? It all started with the 30 Day Challenge.

I can hardly believe how much I’ve achieved in the last 30 days. I have dreamed about setting up this website for years but never known how to start or had the impetus to figure it out.

I wasn’t too sure of my idea when I first started on the 1st day, but now I have written a book to sell online which I didn’t have 30 days ago, and I’ve been helped every step of the way by the community.

The best part was seeing what was once a vague idea in my head suddenly become a real tangible object in a single month, after months of just thinking about it and doing nothing.

I’ve produced something I wanted to do for over 18 months… I actually got on and DID IT!

Now instead of just talking about it, I’m in motion and the project can continue to evolve. The Challenge helped me to start shaping thoughts and ideas for future work directions – you can do so much in this short time!

I started with the vague concept of writing a guide for handmade sellers… but ended up with a business. The feedback and encouragement of the other members made me realise: Why just launch a guide when you can actually start a business? I changed my project and finished the Challenge with a clear brand, my offer, and a basic website up and running. Now I’m really doing it!

I can’t think of another time when I have been so eager to wake up every morning and work on something for any sustained length of time. The Challenge has given me so much – a community of wonderful people and it’s spurred me on to learn so many new skills.

I knew I wanted to be an Adventurer but I didn’t know where to start. The 30DC just stopped the over thinking and perfectionism that used to get in the way. I committed to an idea for 30 days: Mission Spain was born.

I started on the 1st and by the 30th I had an impressive wordpress site and was sitting in a plane to Spain picking up my bike from one of my Sponsors. Two days later I started a language course in Salamanca that was also sponsored, preparing myself to mount the saddle and cycle around Spain by myself for two months.

Everything was organized in 30 days and in the end I had an incredible adventure which 5000 people followed online.

I would love to do this again, it gives you such a big push in the right direction – particularly when you’ve paid money for it! The Challenge was worth every penny.
