Who's With Me? (Inquiring Minds)

Due to popular demand, I am moving the weekly update back to Sunday. You are welcome.

We are officially at the two week mark. 15% to go. That's it. You can make it.

Now that we are nearing Round Two, I have received a lot of questions from people who are getting ready to declare their goals. Rather than answer the questions individually, I decided this is the perfect forum.

Frequently asked questions:

Q: How long does this round last?
A: 90 days. Three days shorter than last time - things went so well for everyone in the summer, that I picked a shorter season this time.

Q: Can I invite other friends to join?
A: Absolutely. I will never get on Oprah if I limit this to people I know. Also, working towards your goal with 200 people will be much more exciting than just 58 people.

Q: How do I declare my goal?
A: You email me by September 22. It's as easy as that.

Q: Can I declare multiple goals?
A: Sure. I am confident you are strong enough to achieve more than one goal.

Q: How will I stay on track for 90 days?
A: Once you have publicly declared your goal (see above), you will feel compelled to make it happen. As a wise man once said, "the prospect of embarrassment trumps accountability to self." Also, I will make you an easy-to-use spreadsheet and send weekly emails with updates from other people.

Q: With Lissa pointing out all the rewards, I was thinking more like she buys me some jewelry or takes me out for a nice dinner for once. I mean, I give and give, and what do I get?
A: You get a better life, Blake. Lissa will only be buying herself jewelry. Nice try.

There you have it. Keep the questions and the goals coming. Two more weeks to reach your goals and two more weeks plus one day before we get to start on our next set.
