Do you have problems getting projects done?


I dont know about you, but sometimes its so easy to get off tasks and just not accomplish the things that I want to.

Well right now, Im participating in something called the 90 Day Product Factory. Its been wonderful. Its like a giant, supportive mastermind group where everyone is working hard to come out with a product in 90 days or less. Many are producing more than one. The support, education, and partners are wonderful. I can hardly wait to bring everyone the new resources, partners and products that Im discovering (and making).

But thats not what this article is about. In the Product Factory, I learned about something called an Integrity Day and its been awesome! What is it?

Basically, you commit to something that you are going to accomplish and then check in with the group (via a bridge line) on an hourly basis. For example, you commit to say...writing an article or a page on you website or even clean your bathroom. You call in on the top of the hour, say what you are going to do, and then hang up. The entire hourly call lasts 5 minutes or less each hour. When you hang up, you actually do what you said you would. When you call back in the next hour, you report what you have gotten done and tell them what you will do in the next hour. People get amazing amounts of work done!

Why?

First of all, you get totally focused on what you want to get done. Secondly, you are committing to what you want to do to a group of people not your partner or friends who may let you off the hook. What happens if you dont follow through? No one gets on your case...chances are you will do that yourself. Its your own word, your integrity that is at stake.

Give it a try...I think you too will be impressed. Personally, this is something I would like to keep going long after the completion of the Product Factory.

And by the way, check out the Product Factory. Its amazing.
