It’s great that your (sounds like your challenge) team is supportive and having some accountability.

Thanks Kathy

I found that working with someone who acts as an accountability partner helps me stay on track as well as scheduling in “Research Time” vs “work time” I set up a Skype chat and a blog, and I try to get together w/ everyone at least once a week live in a web conference room.
Keep up the great work!

I am just about to update the list – I will be adding yours in too…

I wanted to add a comment on finding niche website ideas.

The following is probably the easiest and fastest technique that I’ve found for sparking ideas.

Simply go to the Google Product Search page. The url is:
http://www.google.com/products

The bottom half of the page will give you 25 terms that people are actively seeking to spend money on. Don’t see anything interesting? Just click the browser’s refresh button for a new list.

You might guess, I would like to remove buckets forever and free the crabs.

But back to the point, yes, a team is good for lone wolves too.

Great work.

Now I’m doing the same on my blog as well.

This is why it is so different than our corporate experiences and even the “get rich quick” schemes. In the business world people end up like crabs. A bucket of crabs needs no lid because as one reaches the top of the bucket the others drag him back down so they can get out. In The Challenge it is a group of people encouraging each other to be successful together.

I too am a loner but I would say wholeheartedly to anyone in TC10 to join a group! In fact, if you can find like-minded people who want to become a success along with you instead of in spite of you then The Challenge is not the only place groups are preferable.

… but to see beyond those who do not really see us.

I never heard of atychiphobia before today but now I am really keen on understanding what goes on in the (my) mind to create it. I think there is the danger to, not just dreaming and blaming others, but to blame oneself harshly for creating situations. I often wonder whether instead of blaming youself some thought should go into it like, ‘You are not God, you do not have the ability to consistently change events around you and take it as a learning lesson’.

I am really into beating fears at the moment, trying to find new ones and really crushing any that I find – this is becoming quit a mission. My latest fear, related to public speaking is trying to create a video to put on my blog. That is an interesting experience, I get the effect of ‘mind freeze’. I know what I am about to say but when the camera is clicked on – ….. nothing …. maybe a bit of uninteresting drivel, followed by the immortal, but terribly persistent, ‘Uuuuumh’! I really cannot account for it. Maybe it is a kind of self revulsion, or similar, that happens when you see or hear yourself on video or audio? Anyway I know at this moment I hate it. Unfortunately for any readers of this blog I will possibly pass this experience on because I know I will crack this one soon.

It is becoming quite a mission for me beating all these life absorbing mental blocks that I see not only in myself but in others. I really feel for the underdogs in this world who are wasting away their lives with these problems and wish I could tear it away forever. My dream one day is that all these things will be taught to our children and they will grow fully able to ‘be all that they can be’ and not suffer the anguishes of the current world.

By the way – your book – when it comes to letting the world know about it then the lessons taught in the Challenge, http://www.challenge.co, will enable you to get an idea of how to let people know about it online.
