Mark is a Creative Business Coach, based in London

and helping creative people worldwide via Lateral Action

Day 4The results of big changes are dramatic, but they are often produced by lots of small, incremental, cumulative changes. So if you’re just starting out and feeling daunted by the challenge, focus on making a single small change. If you’re not yet in a position to help others, then make a change in your own life. Don’t worry how small it is - as long as it is measurable and meaningful.Click to tweet this Keep doing this and learning from the results. Over time, you’ll start to see some of the changes you create start to snowball, and you’ll know you’re onto something bigger... Mark McGuinness

Michael is a New York Times Bestselling author of four books

including Book Yourself Solid, Beyond Booked Solid, The

Contrarian Effect and The Think Big Manifesto. Michael can

be seen regularly on MSNBC and CNBC and receives the

highest overall speaker ratings at conferences around the world. Why? Because his mission is to rally you to think bigger about

who you are and what you offer

Day 12The $100 is irrelevant. The challenge of starting a business for $100 is just a marketing gimmick.

The way you see the world is what counts.

The real question is, do you believe that you’re capable of starting, growing and sustaining a business?Click to tweet this

If you do, are you hungry enough to accept the risk and challenges that are part and parcel of entrepreneurship?

If you can answer a resounding yes, then go for it and go big.

Steve is the creator of NerdFitness.com, a fitness

community dedicated to helping average Joes and desk jockeys

live healthier lives. While running Nerd Fitness from his laptop,

Steve has explored the ruins of Machu Picchu and Angkor Wat, dived with sharks on the Great Barrier Reef, flew a Wt plane in New Zealand, lived like James Bond in Monte Carlo, tracked

animals in South Africa, and guest lectured at Facebook and Google.

Day 17If I only had $100 to start up a new business, I would find a cheap hosting service and purchase a URL and a year of hosting. I would install Wordpress, set up a free template, and start writing articles immediately that are unique, full of personality, and provide a tremen-dous amount of very specific advice that solves a problem that people are struggling with.Click to tweet this I’d use free social media tools like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and Google+ to connect with potential readers, readers, fans, and my personal heroes. I’d spend all of my free time creating new content, connecting with more people, and just trying to be as helpful as possible. Eventually, I’d ask the people reading the site “what are you struggling with the most right now?” and then find a way to create a product or ser-vice around that idea.

Alexandra helps bestselling authors, elite coaches,

wellness warriors & spiritual leaders find their voices,

claim their online territory, and channel their skills into

products, services and entirely new businesses.

Day 27My mom always told me to “play more, and work less.” I used to think she was nuts. Like, how I am supposed to be SUCCESSFUL, moooo-oooom? But I’ve realized she’s onto something. Space, freedom, playtime, relationships, intimacy, spontaneity, LOVE. Hel-lo? That’s what life is about.Click to tweet this pearler And that’s worth $100 dollars, at least. More like a trillion.

Day 35A killer mindset is not something you can buy, and I’m not sure you can create it, you have develop it over time - it needs constant work and a LOT of kind-ness. Self-doubt and negative self-talk is a huge issue for most people. A great way to keep your mindset solid is to look at all the amazing things you’ve done. What have you achieved that rocked? What have you done that only you could have done? At the end of the day we are all experts of our own experience.

Surrounding yourself with people who are going to inspire and motivate you is key - but it’s about having the right people to make you get where you want to be.

And lastly, be true to yourself - authenticity is an abused word these days but knowing who you are and what you stand for, or having a manifesto on your wall to refer to daily will keep you going to conquer whatever mountain you want to climb!Tweet a shortened version of this

Marketer and Creating Fame and author of Facebook Fame: The Facebook Marketing Bible

For The Small Business. In 2011, Laura was named one of the top 100 entrepreneurs under

30 and was invited to speak at the White House.

Day 48I create a detailed plan to follow before I start. When I have an idea for a new project, I sit down with my project manager to fill in the holes and created a master task list of everything that needs to be done. Then she coordinates feeding the tasks to the team step-by-step. Sometimes a project will need to be revised, or you’ll see something that you missed in the initial planning session, but you’ll still have at the very least a skel-eton to work from. Completing the project is as simple as following the plan - we don’t stop until it’s done!Click to tweet Laura’s tip Click to see this quote visually on Pinterest and share it from there

Dave was born in 1986 to an aspiring chef and a heart-of-

gold attorney. He writes in ink, energy and quiet smiles on the street, and considers himself a

communicator, a lover of people and devout life-explorer. After

abandoning the divisive world of politics in 2009, Dave has written

over 250 essays on DaveUrsillo.com, published his debut

nonfiction book Lead Without Followers in 2011 and a collection

of spiritual poetry entitled God Whispers on the Wind in 2012.

Day 53Fear is not something to avoid, but something to pursue. Finding your fear is a perfect indicator of “the edge” of all you know, and shows you the path that you need to take to evolve, change and grow. Fear reveals the border or line of the goal, dream, vision or project that truly matters to you on a deep and soulful level (otherwise, there’d be no fear, just indifference).Click to tweet this You conquer fear by heading head-first into it with a bit of defiance, reckless abandon, total detachment and by being firmly rooted in what you believe. For me, I find great comfort in knowing my work is on behalf of others and hope to inspire, reinvigorate, and just generally give to people on the widest possible level that I can achieve. That element of giving is a core value of mine, and because of that I feel ex-tremely motivated to act, even in the face of fear. Why do you do what you do? Look deeply. Examine your roots. Explore your values. From this place of gratitude and giving, fear just becomes a simple line that you willingly cross to get further and go farther, every day.

business model she created, guides creative visionary entrepreneurs to

Day 63Well, there are the big picture priorities and then the small day-to-day details on the way to seeing the big picture come alive. I find the most important piece on the big picture is getting clear about what that big picture is. Click to tweet this Next step is to hone it down to about 6 months worth of detail. My team uses a project management system to take that 6 months of detail to the day to day granular -- we call it thrashing. It’s probably the single most important business focus/growth system I’ve learned in the past two years.

Marketing Show. Now in his 30s, Clay left home at age 15 to start his first software company and

(excluding his college years) has been a hard-core entrepreneur ever

since. He’s has been behind the scenes (advising and writing copy)

for some of the most important and highest grossing information

marketing campaigns on the Internet. Clay is a “product guy”

through and through.

Day 72The best thing I’ve done for my business is take care of myself. All your personal issues, hangups, fears, flaws, etc WILL show up in your busi-ness and manifest in your company culture. Entrepreneurship has a way of finding your weaknesses (even more so than relationships), so my advice is to constantly work on getting your sh*t to-gether. Click to tweet this Work out, meditate, go to therapy, read self-help books, journal . . . whatever you need to do become as psychologically and physically healthy as you can be is what you need to be doing. If you’re not already happy, your business isn’t going to make you happier. If you have weaknesses, your business will find them and exploit them. Entrepreneurship can be one of the greatest impetuses for self-growth, and you can either embrace the challenge or run away from it. But the challenge itself is not going to go away.

Day 89Perhaps the most important thing I’ve learned in my business life is that what comes easiest and most naturally to you is actually your highest value of-fering. Click to tweet this pearler That is the thing you should be charging the most for! Yet too often it’s the very thing people end up charging the least for.

Because it’s fun and easy for YOU, it’s easy for you to undervalue it. But that’s your “superpower,” your “secret sauce.” Believe me, it’s not easy and fun for everyone else! And those people will be more than willing to pay you for it, either to avoid having to do it themselves, or because they simply can’t do it themselves. Not only do I wish I’d known this before starting my last venture, I wish I’d known it before starting my first! I think my business life might have gone a lot easier...

Day 96“You’re freer than you think you are.” This came from a mentor at a time when I felt so hemmed in and trapped by circumstance. Bankers were calling in their loans, my company was falling apart, I was being pressured to do things that I didn’t want to do. And that perspective stopped me in my frantic tracks. I realized I had the power -- the power to create peace in my life, the power to choose my principles, the power to sign, walk away, fight, relax -- all of it.Click to tweet a version of this
