30 Day Challenge Notes
With only 2 days to go until the 30 Day Challenge begins, how is everyone feeling?
Did I Miss Something?
There has been a little bit of confusion surrounding some of the 30 Day Challenge messages not getting through (and it’s not confined to Team Lightening).
Some of this confusion may be due to people not watching the Thirty Day Challenge Show videos. These are the videos that are streamed live (where you can join in and ask questions etc) and are more a “chat and announcements” than actual teaching videos.
If you look at the screenshot below, you’ll see that there is a video embedded on the page AND a link to the right hand side. These are not the same material. The video embedded on the page is the Thirty Day Challenge Show whereas the youtube link/s on the right hand side take you to the training videos.
Forum Signatures
If I understand this correctly, the 30 Day Challenge Teams are wanting forum signatures changed to link to your Friendfeed page (and only to friendfeed). From there people are able to find your Twitter profile, blogs etc if it has been set up correctly.
If you haven’t already, make sure you go and change your forum signature. This is to streamline things and make it a simpler and more even playing field for all involved.
Double Check
If you can find the time, it’s worth checking through the preseason lessons and making sure you’ve been through each of them.
If you have any questions about any of the applications Ed has been taking us through, there are some great discussions taking place on the 30 Day Challenge Forums.
Where Can I Find Team Lightening?
It’s not too late to join Team Lightening. Simply introduce yourself on the Team Lightening thread on the 30-Day Challenge Forums (you’ll need to be signed up in order to do that). From there you will find instructions on how to access the private forum we’re using in order to maintain a certain level of confidentiality. If you have any trouble, leave a comment here or contact me via my contact form.
The private forum is kindly being hosted by one of our team members at the IM newbie forums but in order to gain access to the private section you’ll need to introduce yourself on the Team Lightening thread mentioned above.
Team Lightening has it’s own room on FriendFeed. Once you’ve signed up to FriendFeed, you can request an invite into the Team-Lightening room.
You’re also welcome to ask questions or post comments related to the 30 Day Challenge in the comments section here.
Don’t Panic
The information presented during the 30-Day Challenge is usually made available for almost a year (up until the beginning of preseason the next year).
While it’s great to have a deadline to enhance the actual challenge, it’s really NOT going to matter in the long-term scheme of things if it takes you longer to work through the process than the initial 30 Days.
If you’ve not signed up yet, it IS worthwhile, even to get access to the great training videos Ed Dale has made. Even without having made a cent, I am completely satisfied that I’ve gotten my money’s worth!!! 
(It doesn’t cost you anything to sign up)
If you’re currently feeling a little overwhelmed and apprehensive, join the club! Whatever happens, I’m sure we’re all in for an interesting ride!

Tamsyn - I haven’t watched every single one yet either but from what I’ve been able to gather, the most important things mentioned have been:
* Brainstorm 10 ideas of areas/ways you might like to make money online. Don’t edit the ideas or think about them too much. Just let the creative juices flow.
* Change your 30 Day Challenge Forum signature to link to your friendfeed page only (no other links).
For anyone who is feeling overwhelmed or behind, I would recommend:
1. Sign up for FriendFeed.
2. Join the Team Lightening room (if you want to be a part of Team Lightening - it’s a private room so you’ll have to wait for approval. If you have trouble, let me know).
3. Subscribe to the feed for the Team Lightening room (so that updates come to your feedreader)
4. Brainstorm a list of 10 ideas that you might be able to use to make money online. Don’t worry about how good they are or how you’re going to do them. It’s just a starting point. (now I’m wondering where I actually PUT my list???)
I think I’ll make this into a post either later today or tomorrow in case anyone misses this comment.
Here is a link to the preseason summary content if you need to catch-up. There’s also a thread in the TDC forums (Daily Summaries) with some additional links. Hope that helps.
Planning Queen - I noticed quite a few are yet to change their signatures. Not sure how strict they’re going to get with it. Guess time will tell.
Steve - Thanks for dropping by. I’d seen the blog and wanted to link to it but couldn’t find it when I was writing this post. Have now added the link. 
After finally being able to sign up, I’ve been looking through most of the lessons and what I’ve found really funny is that pretty much everything but the browser and Friends Feed I already use.
Mayken - that’ll make things easier in terms of catching up then. Great to hear you’ve finally gotten through.

I am running really behind on all the pre-season training (damn wedding planning) and decided to skip the 45 minute shows…… now I’m really worried that I have missed something important. I guess I will be staying up late tonight
- Thanks for the heads up!
