The mission of the 30 Day Do It is to create the world’s largest and most effective goal setting movement and end the concept of New Year’s Resolutions by introducing the idea of New Month’s Resolutions. The premise is that we should set goals every 30 days in small groups. New Year’s Resolutions don’t work. The methodology is based on Good Excuse Goals: How to End Procrastination & Perfectionism Forever.
History
I had a parent who was an alcoholic and many of the principles of the 30 Day Do It come from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). I think that AA is the best personal development organization in the world—It has helped millions of people change their lives through community support, meaning through sponsorship, and spiritual connection. The only thing is that people only gain access to AA after the problem. Similar to AA, want to initiate a movement around people supporting one another to achieve their goals. I believe that AA is the best personal development organization to date, helping millions of people stay sober and I want to apply their model to your goals. I’ve had family members deal with alcoholism so I know.
Like AA, I believe that personal development isn’t always personal and that the collective accountability of a group creates an expectation of success and support. Good Excuse Goals is a group-based for of goal setting that will give you the motivated to move toward alignment with your higher purpose in life and goals.
