What is this Power Hour Challege?

I guess I should be more specific. It's called the Producer Power Hour and its a challenge to have these Power Hours 52 days in a row to see how it will change your life. A friend and business associate and mentor of mine named Garrett B. Gunderson (website) has created this tool. You can learn more about the Producer Power Hour at ProducerPowerHour.com.

The idea is this, that we all desire to be happy and wealthy in all areas of life which Garrett has categorized into the "5 Tracks of Wealth": Financial, Physical, Mental, Social, and Soul Purpose. The purpose of the Power Hour is to spend 1 hour every day visiting each of these 5 areas for at least 10 minutes, and start this hour with 10 minutes of Gratitude. This doesn't have to be only an hour activity though, Garrett talks about a time when he found himself waking up at 3:45 in the morning to do a 3 hour Power Hour. The desire here is to create a clearer understanding in our minds of really who we are and what we are on this earth for ("Soul Purpose"), and then to use all of our abilities and gifts to their fullest to experience true joy and happiness in this life rather than putting it off to a distant day that may never come if we continue to put it off.

Why 52 days? According to Garrett's explanation in his audio program from Nightingale Conant entitled "New Rules to Get Rich", it takes 21 days to form a habit and 30 days to break an old habit so that's 51 and he just likes to throw in 1 to grow on...so thus the 52 Day Challenge.

I figure the best way to really help hold myself accountable to this challenge is to post my progress and thoughts each day before the world. So welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy what you find, and would love to share in your comments and experiences as well!
