Week 5 - 7-Day Steemit Biz Building Weekly Accountability Challenge

in #challenge6 years ago

Hey Steem Fam,

Happy Easter Sunday to you!

Welcome to Week 5 of our 7-Day Steemit Biz Building Weekly Accountability Challenge

Let's dive right in..

180401-Wk5-7day-stmt-bizbld-acct-chal800x460-stncl.jpg

I had to fight myself every single day this week to NOT come on Steemit to post.

I have been lagging behind sorting my membership site and subscriber emails and had to just get serious about getting some critical items done.

The one post a day started out fine, but devolved by mid-week.

I am now going to focus on doing my main biz work before I login to Steemit each day, so we'll see how that affects the 1 post/15 comments per day routine this week.

If you are new to the Challenge, Welcome!

Let's recap:

This Challenge is about:

  • having fun
  • having a structured space here on Steemit to post your daily links and comment total numbers
  • helping you be accountable... to you
  • being excited to be accomplishing your Steemit daily goals
  • contributing consciously and intentionally each day to this wonderful Steemit platform we are all Blessed to be a part of
  • receiving the 100% support of fellow Challenge participants along with the wider Steemit community as you accomplish each daily Win
  • sharing the same daily posting/commenting goals as other participants in a joint group effort to expand both our contribution and reach within this huge Steemit universe

For anyone who may happen by after today while this week's 7-Day Challenge is in progress, you can join in at any time.

So don't worry if when you're reading this you've missed a few days. Just jump in and start adding your post and comment links. Then come back next Sunday to start from scratch when next week's Challenge kicks off.

If you are an old hat from previous weeks, Thank you for participating and Welcome again.

We'll keep learning as we're doing and will fine-tune the Challenge as we go.

For now, here's what we've got:

The Challenge is run on the honor system.

You post one of your daily links in exchange for making two comments on posts submitted by other participants. So two valuable, relevant comments per post that you submit.

IF there are NOT enough participants for you to get your two comments for each of your daily posts done within the Challenge:

  • comment on participant posts first
  • comment on posts outside of the Challenge after
  • post links for your two inside and 'outside' comments under the relevant daily post

Also, very importantly, please:

  • USE 'accountability' as one of your tags for the posts you're going to submit for the Challenge.

Besides it making your post easier for Challenge supporters to find, it will make your posts more visible as it's a tag that's not filled with millions of other posts.

It is also a term that's highly regarded in many niches and areas of interest and often searched for as 'accountability' has now officially become a thing. Searches for it will only increase over time both off and within Steemit itself

  • ADD 'SBBWA Challenge Week 5' somewhere in the TITLE of the daily post you're submitting to this week's Challenge. More peeps going down their timeline will open it out of curiosity because they won't know what the heaven it is

Ok, let's dive down now into the Challenge Prep Steps and the Challenge Daily Action Steps so we can get off of this page and get going with today's Challenge tasks. ;)


°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°


CHALLENGE PREP ACTION STEPS
(for INITIAL BETA MODE)

These are the immediate steps to take now to participate in this week's Challenge:

A. These three basic steps all help increase visibility for this post and the posts you publish and link to here each day during the week:

  1. UPVOTE this post
  2. COMMENT to hold your space by saying "I'm IN".
  3. RESTEEM this post

B. HOW to help keep this Challenge post tidy

  1. 'Reply' to your own "I'm IN" comment:
  2. TYPE in 'Day 1 Posts':
  3. HIT 'Enter' so it becomes a sub-comment to your original "I'm In" comment.
  4. Do the EXACT SAME THING for EACH of the next few days, all the way up to Day 7, so that EACH Day has its OWN 'Reply' to your FIRST ORIGINAL "I'm IN" comment

Ok, that's the set-up for each of your seven days of link and comment posting for this week's 7-Day Challenge.

This will help you post your links and comments quickly during the week when you may be in a rush.

Once I've published this post, I will do mine at the top and show you so you can see it.

Now let's get in to the daily action steps...


°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°


DAILY CHALLENGE ACTION STEPS
(for INITIAL BETA MODE)

AFTER you have completed the Challenge PREP Steps above, move on to:

A. SUBMIT YOUR FIRST CHALLENGE POST LINK
UNDER
your Day 1 sub-comment:

  1. Click 'REPLY'
  2. INSERT your FIRST Challenge post link and click 'SUBMIT'

B. UPVOTE/QUALITY COMMENT 2 POSTS BY FELLOW CHALLENGE PARTICIPANTS

  1. Go ahead and upvote/quality comment TWO posts by different participants to cover the FIRST Challenge post you entered
  2. For EACH set of upvote/quality comment you do, RETURN to your FIRST post link in this Challenge thread and let the author know that you upvoted and quality commented
  3. AFTER finishing your FIRST ROUND of TWO upvotes/quality comments to cover your FIRST Challenge post link submitted for the day:
  • RETURN to your FIRST post link submission comment for that day
  • CLICK Reply under it
  • INSERT the links for EACH of the TWO comments you made in exchange for posting your first Challenge post link
    (Just right-click on the time thingy of your first comment you made on another participant's post, choose 'Copy' and insert that comment link back on this post as a reply to where you entered YOUR own post link)

This will MAKE IT CLEAR to all other participants which two comments you made in exchange for your FIRST post link

SEE my Day 1 example if the above is not clear.

C. UPVOTE/QUALITY COMMENT 11 OTHER POSTS

  1. Go ahead and continue with ONE set of upvote/quality comment to meet your 10-15 daily comment total within the Challenge if there are enough participants, or outside of the Challenge when you've commented on all participant posts available for that week
  2. RETURN to the post link in this Challenge thread and let the author know that you upvoted and quality commented as part of your extra comment round
  3. RETURN to your relevant Day sub-comment at end of your day, hit 'Reply' and insert the number of comments you did for the day


°º¤øº°°°º¤øº¤øº°°°º¤øº°

That's IT!

Have FUN this week making friends and leaving love on each post you visit.

Even if your steem power is low so your upvote doesn't have a lot of $$ value, the 'heart value' of your upvotes and quality comments is priceless!

YAYYYYY!!! SOOOO happy to see you and know for sure that you're ok. Was a bit worried about you and your family! ;)

Thanks! My sincere apologies for the worrying silence - I was so wrapped up in myself I didn't think of that. I have been busy taking care of a number of things that I'm sure Maslow would categorise as 'survival' tasks :-) which has been a bit arduous and at the same time rewarding as there is nothing quite like taking care of and responsibility for the survival-level stuff. We've had a run of things such as a flood; an infestation of rats in the loft space; illness; firefighting deadlines at work; technical problems; snowbound etc. Quite why I manifested all of these things straight after announcing an ambitious accountability regime is probably obvious to any observer ;-) I think that I daunted myself with my own ambition, because imagine how powerful I might become if I stopped messing around and actually started achieving each of my goals? :-)

I'll think of all that drama as a wonderful part of clearing the way for your step-by-step manifestation of every goal. Many farmers still burn their fields to clear and enrich the soil to prepare for brand new growth bursting forth.

You've done lots of clearing. Just keep planting a variety of seeds so you have short, medium and long term goal achievement, Paul. ;)

Nothing to apologize for. I 'knew' you were fine, so worried was the wrong word. Just concerned but knowing that you were busy taking care of things?! ;)

Amazing insights come from surprising places! It's obvious when I think about it and I don't think I would have thought to do this! Well done!

YES!!! The 'doing' always carries gifts of new, deeper or just plain common sense insights previously missed. ;) Thank you!
