It’s official! It’s February and I went and did it. I signed up for the Blog A Day Challenge.
I must admit, I’m a little tense about it. It’s not my first time blogging, I blog regularly. What is new is that I’ll be doing it every day.
Baloo under the covers
Until today I was blogging about several times a month or even weekly (and I thought that was a stretch). I’m up for the challenge though because I’m ready to take myself and my business to the next level and I know that I can’t do that unless I’m willing to step outside my comfort zone. As someone who regularly asks others to step outside their comfort zone, I need to be prepared and willing to do the same myself.
What’s going to be different here is that I’m doing this all on my own. I usually have my assistant read through and proofread my blogs to make sure I don’t make any typos and that I make sense. This challenge is going to be all me. So I might make a few mistakes or have a snafu (or two) happen and that is what is really the crux of it all and why I’m tense about this challenge. I mean come on, it might not be perfect.
AND I’m going to do it anyway. I’m willing to step outside my comfort zone and show up in the world to grow and to show others that it doesn’t have to be perfect (you can also read that to say I don’t have to be perfect =). I can do it. I’m really looking forward to it and where this experience takes me.
If you resonate with this, let me know what your fear point is that you would like to overcome. You can reply to this blog or email privately at kim@kimravida.com

Yay, Kim! The blogging challenge will help you building your blogging muscles and grow your content and topic antennae. You go girl!
Thanks Denise! I’m thrilled and it all started with Terry sending me your offer, me saying yes and stepping up!
I’ve learned so much since November and really am beginning to see the results. Thanks for providing this opportunity.
Great job! i am nervous too but decided I needed to get out of my comfort zone and just do it! I look forward to reading more Kim!
Thanks Sherie, getting out of our comfort zone usually never kills us but gives us such wonderful experiences! Happy to be in it with you too.
Wahoo! More fun happens outside of your comfort zone. Looking forward to reading more during the blog challenge –
Thanks Aimee.
I’m keeping track of how I am feeling about it as I go. So far I feel empowered and excited!
Great job, Kim!!!
Thanks Kimberly! It’s definitely a learning experience.
Looks great. You look like a pro. 🙂
Thanks Patty, your comment made me smile. I felt like an amateur so many thanks!
Way to go Kim! Getting out of your comfort zone is a bit scary, but we can be “scary” together 😉 Great blog post and a great way to get started. Here’s to a fabulously fun February!
Thanks Terry! The one thing I do know is that it’s all good and I know this experience will be awesome. I agree, here is to a fabulously fun February!
Great post!!
Much appreciated Susan. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Congrats on walking your talk and taking the challenge, Kim! Perfection is so overrated. Here’s busting out of comfort zones and new horizons!
Thanks Elena! I agree it sure it. It’s just a hard habit to eliminate. Try as I might, when it comes up it’s there. It’s both a blessing and a curse but it does get easier the more I work it. It’s like muscle conditioning you have to keep at it!
Congratulation in stepping out of your comfort zone.
Thanks Juan, it is definitely out of my comfort zone (like in the next state over =) but it’s a good feeling.
