Today I’m officially launching my 30 Days of Massive Action initiative with the goal of doubling my monthly income. Massive action means setting goals and then doing as much as possible, in as little time as possible, to reach them–essentially kicking your butt into high gear in a focused way. So every day, I’ll post about what I’ve done, any results and where I’m at in terms of my daily income goal.

Why now? August isn’t exactly high season for business unless your business is a hotel at the beach. Despite the “R” word the media keeps talking about, business has actually been pretty good. But I’m still paying for those years where it wasn’t enough to cover being a single solopreneur with a mortgage and a chronically ill dog. So I had to liquidate a financial asset this past weekend which will cost me big time taxes and maybe penalties. I may be able to reverse or reduce the damage in the next 60 days, but to do so, I’ll have to reach my monthly income goal now instead of in December.

My six-pronged plan involves:

1. Changing mindset–overriding any fears and “thinking bigger”
2. Planning–from creating a 30-day marketing calendar to making friends with time blocking
3. Getting ruthless about time–and weeding out time wasters or time-eating perfectionism
4. Filling out my products & services funnel–time to launch those programs that have been simmering on the stove
5. Taking care of myself–taking the time to stay healthy, including one full day a week off so I don’t get burned out, and to keep my environment organized
6. And of course, ACTION, ACTION, ACTION. Because all the planning in the world is no good if you don’t act.

So stay tuned to see how things progress! I’ll start my daily updates later today…
