Shonika & Daniel's One Month Challenge

Myself along with Renegade CEO's National Spokesperson Daniel Uribe have presented ourselves with a one month challenge (we will be starting next week and giving ourselves a deadline of July 18, 2008). We have a ton of content and ideas that we have created and now over the next month we need to get it all organized in a mind map, implement and market it and essentially give the Renegades a complete makeover. I am going to be blogging about my strategic methods and so forth so that you can follow our progress. What needs to be done is:

1. Have the book 'published' and advertised for sale.

2. Launch a new blog style website.

3. Have a professional corporate media kit prepared.

These are the biggies. We have a few other things that need to be completed in June and July also but it is hard to do those until we have these things oout of the way. As far as the book, the manuscript is done but has not finished the editing process yet. The blog we have rough content but have to finalize the designer etc. And the media kit we have some concepts but again, we need to finalize the designer, etc. More or less we have vendors in mind but we need to decide and organize the timeline etc. Let's just say everything is in raw form now, so we have to bring it all together, package it and market it.


Thank goodness we do have a virtual assistant who can help us a lot and some marketing savvy. So we think we can pull off our high dollar look even with our modest budget :) For sake of trying to make it a little more exciting Daniel quit his part time job two weeks ago with no other source of income and as you know I left the wireless industry a little over a month ago with no other source of income (me not charge my Renegades for coaching). Daniel has a small savings....very small :)

Within the last 30 days I have been able to hustle up some one and two day consulting and training gigs and have written numerous proposals so that Renegades generates its own operating budget. I'm thanking my lucky stars as I was able to leverage my proposal writing and marketing skills and within one month land a part time 10 week consulting gig developing a program/curriculum for aspring youth entrepreneurs ages 14-18. As this will provide me with the much needed start up funding for the Renegades and flexibility with my time I have ceased my proposal writing for the moment to focus full-time on producing content for our upcoming projects. I will also help Daniel market and generate income selling his retro skateboards and bearings that he has in stock. Additionally, I have to carve out some one on one time to help Patricio, Rajon, Jared and Gena to help them launch their respective programs this summer. Daniel and I will rely on our creativity, resourcefulness, network and the forces of the universe to complete our individual and collect projects, get some media exposure and generate more money.

So are you ready?

Here we go....
