Today, I\u2019ll show you how, and share a proven formula for personal growth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This method has helped me become a much better person over the years. It helped me stop swearing, overcome introverted tendencies that held me back in life, and even, as embarrassing as it is for me to admit, helped me drop by jerk-like habits and become a much more loving, open, and authentic leader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Fortunately, this formula holds the same promise of change and power of personal growth for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019ll explain it in a moment, but first, an odd story\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Several years ago, I took a trip to San Diego for the annual Fitness Business Summit (FBS). On the third day of the event, I spoke from the stage and coached 1,000 entrepreneurs through a 10X business building session (but that\u2019s another story for another day).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> There were other highlights, too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Every year at the event I take on a crazy personal challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At the 2017 FBS, I made a public declaration that my goal was to hug 100 people during the summit. That probably sounds easy to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For me, it was extremely uncomfortable. But I went after it with gusto\u2014and a fair amount of awkwardness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While I fell short of the century mark, clocking only 91 hugs, the challenge helped me grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I increased the level of difficulty after that. For 2018, I challenged myself to film 100 selfie videos with attendees and to post these on my social media pages. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At first, I resisted pulling out the camera. I feared asking people to film the video. I resisted putting\u00a0in\u00a0the effort to\u00a0bring\u00a0the energy to the video. I feared digging deeper in my questions because I wanted to rush through the video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But I pushed through. Each video got easier. While I fell slightly short of my goal, I interviewed 83 attendees over the three-day summit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The result was nothing short of magical. The challenge forced me to step outside of my comfort zone, and I discovered a few great things in the process:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The best interviews were the ones where I surprised my subjects with DEEP questions who gave me raw, unfiltered, instinctual answers. This is a conversational technique I\u2019ll keep up after the event (even if I\u2019m not filming our discussion).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">About 20% of my social media followers went through every video. I received dozens of messages thanking me for the great content, and several more messages from fans\u2014who were also attending the event\u2014asking for a chance to be interviewed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Selfie videos are a great way to end awkward conversations with strangers at seminars. (Ha!)<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">With each video, I became a better interviewer and more natural on camera. It just goes to show that taking action is one of the most important steps for success.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">My big takeaway from the challenge can be summed up in this quote: \u201cWhat was once resisted soon becomes accepted\u00a0and then becomes habitual.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Think about it. This pattern of habit-building shows up everywhere in life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Remember the time you drank your first coffee? You might not have been a fan of the taste, but soon it became normal, and now it might even be an addiction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019ve stopped drinking alcohol, but I\u2019ll use this analogy\u2026 A shot of whiskey is nasty at the first try. Then you build a tolerance, and then some develop a liking to it. Soon, for many, it becomes a crutch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Getting up early sucks. But with some effort, it can become your salvation. Eventually, it is both desired and needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This habit-building pattern can be used for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earlytorise.com\/136-10-business-growth-secrets-from-millionaires-jason-capital-craig-ballantyne-sharran-srivatsaa-keri-shull-and-zander-fryer\/\">growth<\/a> or destruction, however. That choice is on us.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Back to my FBS challenge. At first I resisted, then I accepted it, and eventually my mind embraced it and created a new level of performance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What was once resisted is now engrained. I cannot wait to do this over and over again. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I wasn\u2019t the only one, either. People loved it! My interviews made them feel special and helped them grow and develop their on-camera skills as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The challenge confirmed for myself that pushing through barriers is the only thing that levels up a life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Want to grow? You must commit to this mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The secret to success for personal growth and skill development is action and practice.<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Take action, action, and more action.<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Then review your \u201cpractice\u201d and get expert advice on how to become better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now return to practice, practice, practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> Take more action, action, action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Continue this virtuous cycle over and over and over again\u2014for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Realcraigballantyne\">videos<\/a>, podcasting, writing, leadership, meetings, conversations. Do it for every skill that needs improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>That\u2019s the formula for personal growth. Take action. Correct course. Repeat.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s amazing what you can do and who you can become when you regularly step outside your comfort zone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So take up a new challenge today and see what becomes of it.<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The lessons you learn might surprise you\u2014just as the results of my 100 selfie video challenge did for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Most importantly, your personal growth and evolution will move forward by leaps and bounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Remember: Life is one continuous training cycle.<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Never let it end.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.securepublications.com\/perfectday\/pdffree-gse9.php?utm_ad=60220&amp;utm_placement=8&amp;utm_medium=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-69210\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.earlytorise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/perfect-day-formula-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"134\" height=\"179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.earlytorise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/perfect-day-formula-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cdn.earlytorise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/perfect-day-formula-414x552.jpg 414w, https:\/\/cdn.earlytorise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/perfect-day-formula-354x472.jpg 354w, https:\/\/cdn.earlytorise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/perfect-day-formula.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 134px) 100vw, 134px\"\/><\/a>If you think this will level-up your life, then imagine what you can do with ALL of the wisdom, philosophy, and science of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.securepublications.com\/perfectday\/pdffree-gse9.php?utm_ad=60220&amp;utm_placement=8&amp;utm_medium=1\"><strong>\u201cThe Perfect Day Formula.\u201d<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the foundation for Early to Rise and Editor Craig Ballantyne\u2019s coaching, so if you\u2019re ready to finally take your life to the next level, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.securepublications.com\/perfectday\/pdffree-gse9.php?utm_ad=60220&amp;utm_placement=8&amp;utm_medium=1\"><strong>get a FREE copy of \u201cThe Perfect Day Formula\u201d right now<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"author-bio-box\" style=\"background: #f8f8f8; border-top: 2px none #cccccc; border-bottom: 2px none #cccccc; color: #333333\">\n<h3><a style=\"color: #555555;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.earlytorise.com\/author\/craig-ballantyne\/\" title=\"All posts by Craig Ballantyne\" rel=\"author\">Craig Ballantyne<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"bio-gravatar\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.earlytorise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/userphoto\/14.thumbnail.png\" alt=\"Craig Ballantyne\" width=\"94\" height=\"100\" class=\"photo\"\/><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Realcraigballantyne\" class=\"bio-icon bio-icon-youtube\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/realcraigballantyne\/\" class=\"bio-icon bio-icon-instagram\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"bio-description\">If you want to double your income, work less, and become the ambitious millionaire you&#8217;ve always wanted to be&#8230; Craig Ballantyne is the coach who will help you do it.
