By Chuck Bartok | September 22, 2009
Let’s put on our Party hats on and celebrate this wonderful Season.
The Autumnal Equinox arrived 5:30 Pm eastern time today and tomorrow marks the 265 day of 2009, leaving us 100 Productive Days to enjoy a successful 2009.
The Fall season has traditionally been a Time of Harvest, reaping the benefit of preparing the soil, nurturing your crop and adjusting practices during the season for unplanned circumstances (Storms, Drought etc).
Fall, the Time of Abundance
There are several dynamic programs on the Internet pointing to the 100 day Challenge. 265 days have past in 2009 and many Entrepreneurs are looking at their results compared to Goals and projected Income.
Some have claimed the challenges of a economic downturn have made impossible to live up to projections. There have been industries hard hit by the Economy, but, by and large, the Home based Business Market has experience booming growth in this past year.
Where do you sit?
Are you on track to enjoy the accomplishment you designed?
Have you spent the past months blaming “outside influences” on your home based business lagging in sales in Profit?
Regardless the answer, the are some procedures to assure the final 100 days of 2009 to meeting you planned expectations.

As always a great post – there’s no better time then TODAY to make a decision to succeed, as with the Earth we as people operate on cycles and seasons. I know that presently I’m in a season of change in my life and in my business, Chuck – your reminding me and challenging me toward the next 100 days was the kick in the pants that I needed this morning.
Thanks!

I agree with Brad, Always a great post here Chuck.
There is a good reason that the fall is usually when the IM and home based businesses start to flourish. For the mothers who have children in school, it is a chance for them to do something of there own without having to be tied down to a rigid schedule or leave the home. For the mothers that have no children left at home, it gives them a chance to socialize with others without having to deal with scheduling a babysitter for everyone in the group or having a houseful of little ones to try and keep up with while talking to the grown-ups.

I’m on board. Bring on the challenge as it is so easy the next 3 months to get caught up in all the Holiday distractions. This gives more “Focus” to daily activities and being able to measure the results. As Chuck and I discussed earlier..
IF you set your goal for Example @ $50,000 in sales and only hit $42,000 was it bad thing? Heck No – Because you were pushing to get it instead of just letting it happen.

Bring on the challenge!! It’s all in your mind set and following Beginners marketing and Chuck Bartok to the LETTER. IT does work! I am proof. Every month I have to expand my bandwidth on my website to accommodate the traffic. This morning my wife asked me what that meant and I said- We need larger gates at the entrance! The herd is busting thruuu….

I accepted the challenge live on the show this week.
$65,000 in 100 days – $650 a day. Not impossible by any means, especially since we are coming into the hottest season for earning online.
Fall is a season of harvest, and that it just what I intend to do. I will start a post here on the blog to track what I am doing to achieve my goal and how close I am to hitting the target.
I will be using two websites as my main focus for promotions BestAtMySite.com and 2GetSales.com. I will be tracking everything I do on a daily basis and then including it here on the blog in a weekly digest post.

OK, here goes:
Dollar goal for the latter part of the year:
Need to get to $10,000 per month. Let’s get to $2000 per month to start.
Heard about the challenge last week but haven’t had a chance to post until now.
In the meantime, just did some action:
Rebuilt the pages for the Awesome, Effective All-Natural answer to infections including the Swine Flu, BioDefense.
Please see what I have done at
http://www.biodefense4u.com
and let me know what needs to be changed and improved. Please share ideas about how to get the word out about this amazing help for folks worried about Swine Flu.
I also posted to my health newsletter blog, “Your Health Matters” which you can get to at http://www.yourhealthmatters.com
Let’s go for the Gold!
Blessings,

Sorry about that.

Chuck: Though I wasn’t here at the beginning of the 100-day challenge, I have set a goal of finishing my e-book and having it online before the end of the year, preferably by the end of October. If I meet the earlier goal I’ll have to set myself another goal. I’m already talking about it on some of the social networks I’m on so people will hopefully watching for it to be available.
Thanks for all the great work you do to help us all out–especially those of us who are just beginning to try out internet marketing.
