This is the announcement post for Live a Better Life in 30 Days (30DLBL) held in Dec 2010. Get the official Live a Better Life in 30 Days and start living a better life in the next 30 days!

Note from Celes: All pre-orders for 30DLBL have been sent out! To those who have pre-ordered the course, you should have gotten your copy by now. Enjoy!! Let me know if you haven’t received it! :D
In just 34 days, 2010 is going to come to a close. Are you ready for it? Are you ready to step into the next year?
For some of you, 2010 may have gone by in a flash. You may have been busy the whole year, moving from one thing to the next, switching from one focus to another. You may have been unconscious of how fast time has gone by. You may not have realized that 11 months, yes 11 whole months, have gone by since you said hello to the start of a new year. You may not be aware that in a matter of just one month, another year would have gone past you, and it’s going to be the start of yet another year all again.
If you feel that way, you’re not alone. Most of us are so busy that we’re not conscious of how time is flying by us. The time we leave for our reflection and personal growth is so little that it’s a wonder how we manage to keep everything together. And then when it’s end of the year, we look back and feel like yet another year has gone by without having done much vs. our expectations.
But guess what – it’s not the end of the year yet. There is still one month left, and depending on how you choose to spend it, you can either make this the most impactful month ever, or you can let it slip by like other months before. It’s up to how you want to make out of it. In taking conscious action, you’ll get huge changes, never to be the same person again. If you do nothing and continue status quo, you’ll get nothing different from what you’ve been already getting. Are you okay with that? Or do you want round up your year with a big bang?
Live a Better Life in December Challenge!
This is why for the month of December, I’ll be conducting a Live a Better Life Challenge, for all of us to close off 2010 on a huge bang. This is where we’ll get down and look back at how the year has gone by. This is where we’ll map out our biggest goals and dreams forward. This is where we’ll look at the areas of life we’ve been neglecting on before and take action on them. This is going to be the best month ever yet in our growth journey. :D
If you want to close off 2010 with a big bang, join the 30DLBL in December! This will be exclusive to those who have gotten a copy of 30DLBL, as the December 30DLBL will be based on the all new upgraded 30DLBL in the book. The Dec 30DLBL will be the first of the many 30DLBLs we’ll be doing together in the future. :D I plan to organize 1-2 30DLBLs annually (or more depending on demand), so everyone can get together and get a boost in their growth journey. See it as being part of one big family passionate about growing and living in excellence!
To participate, simply post your comment expressing your intention! (In the email section, put in the email you used during your purchase (if you used Paypal, that’ll be your Paypal email) so I know that you’re part of the 30DLBL Circle.) I’ll then send you an email with the instructions on what to do next! We’ll be doing Dec 30DLBL in the forums – I’ve created a private Dec 30DLBL forum which will be our central venue for the challenge. If we’re able to gather 10~20 responses, we’ll be going ahead with it! :D
Update 27 Nov, 2010, 3am – Nearly 20 responses in just 1 hour of posting the announcement – we’re definitely going ahead with the challenge guys!! :D
Dec 6, 2010 – Registration is now closed, and we have over 130 people who registered! For those who have gotten your welcome email, get your account and you can start posting away in the forums!
Get your girlfriend/boyfriend, partner, family members, friends, colleagues etc to join in even! The more people we do this with, the more committed we’ll be to our change. Note that each purchase of the book gives you one access pass, so if someone you know would like to join in, simply get a copy of the book!
If you have not gotten your copy of 30DLBL, you should get yours! The “live” 30DLBL we are having now is a special bonus for those who have purchased 30DLBL. It’s a thank you to those who bought the book and for them to put it into action. The 30DLBL run is based entirely on the book, while the “live” aspect comes from the forums, where members share their results, comment in one another’s findings and support each other.
IMO, the 30DLBL program is a great investment, because we’re going to do 30DLBL runs regularly at least once a year, plus the activities in the book are timeless. It’s like an online course, with support from other members and myself included, but free. The tasks in the book are timeless, and can be done again and again, in your own time without the group too. Members who have done the 30DLBL have all reported great results from them and I believe the testimonials speak for themselves. You can read more here: Live Your Life in 30 Days

I must admit, like Olivia, I felt slightly sad when I read about this new challenge reserved for those with the book. It’s right to earn some money for your terrific job, but this sounds very much commercial, and it will suck part of your precious (for us) time only for those who can pay the book… :-|
Hi Celes…congrat on the lauch of the 30DLBL e-book….Please add me in for this dec activity. looking forward…
Hey Stan, welcome onboard! :D Just sent you the welcome mail – please check!

I’ve never been busier in my life than I will be next month (exams, two jobs, student organisation, christmas). But I guess if you’re not willing to take the necessary time to life a better life and grow, you’re doing something wrong, so…

Greetz from Switzerland!

Loved the 30DLBL. It gave me a rock that I can keep landing on and growing from. I can’t think of a better way to end this significant year!
Hi Carole, please check your mail! :D

Please check your mail Shellan!
Im in!!! How do I download the book? I just ordered it.
Hi Venessa! You’d have gotten the download link once you get the book – I see that you’ve already downloaded from the link, so I assume you got the book by now! :D
Separately, just sent you the instructions! Welcome onboard! :D
I’m in. I started following along sometime in mid-late August and had wanted to participate in the September event, but became a bit overwhelmed with other goings-on. Now, I have my Guidebook and Workbook and think I am ready to get going with some needed and perhaps necessary change! I’m looking forward to participating in December’s Big Bang but am curious- in the event you’re aware- how many veterans you may have participating (in the military sense, since I know this has a global tilt).

Hey Tom, welcome onboard and it’s a pleasure to have you here! Just mailed you the instructions! :D
About five 30DLBL alumni have registered so far (Ish, Matt, Andreea, Karin, Glenn – those who followed through 30DLBL from start to end and actively participated), with many new faces for the Dec challenge. So not to worry, I think the dynamics are looking good! :D
I’m in! Wanted to do the last challenge but I wasn’t making enough time. This time around, I’m determined!!
Hi Hanna, welcome in! Please check your mail!
I am in 100%
So glad you are doing this.
Fantastic – welcome onboard Ad! :D Just mailed you the instructions!
I am not sure if I put the right email to participate in the Dec Life Challenge Forum and DLBD
so here is another post to make sure I get the right information. I am so excited. The ebook is beyond my expectations..going out with a Bang! 2010 into 2011.
Sent you the welcome mail Jackie! :D Let me know if you didn’t get it!
Join in December
You’re in Ruthie! Please check your mail! :D
I Can see the forum but don’t have permission to post to it. I guess you are still setting it up?
Hi Charles! It’s already up and viewing/posting access is only given to members who sign up for the Dec challenge here. (which is why you couldn’t see the posts inside) Just added you to the group – Welcome onboard! :D
Hi Celes, count me in too! I’ll be away on holiday in Tasmania for a week during December, but will see what I can do during that time regardless :-)
You’re in Glenn! :D Check your mail!
It’s okay if you’ll be away for a week! Just join in and participate where you can, where possible! :D
Thanks Celes!
I received your email and have already posted my introduction.
Got the book, thanks. Now looking forward to a quick start intro in December. Great idea, Celes! Eagerly awaiting your email, Anne
Hi Anne, welcome onboard! ♥ :D Just sent you the mail!
PS: Seems like we have 2 Annes for the Dec 30DLBL challenge!
This makes me sad… you’ve been so good at not letting money be a required part of your blog. Why stop now? :(
Hi Olivia, all the content on the blog will continue to be free as always. :D This is a special bonus for those who have gotten the 30DLBL Book and to help everyone get started on the exercises inside.
Hi,
Being a self-help junkie for long. :(
High time start to pick up the life.
Better… you gave me the shove!
Lets start on it! :-P
Let’s rock on!! :D Just sent you the welcome email Anu! :D
I want to join too!
Just sent you a mail! :D
To be, or not to be :)
I absolutely love love love you book, new exercises are great.
Partly thanks to first 30DLBL my life is now wonderful… and at the end of December I’ll be moving to another city.
PS! How is MMI?
Hey Mari-Liis, welcome!! That’s wonderful news! I’ve just mailed the next steps to you – please have a look! :D
PS: MMI wasn’t that eventful IMO! I think it’s fantastic for those who have little knowledge in the area of financial management and wealth management, but otherwise it was more of a reiteration of what most people would know. I went for a short while and left afterward!
Hi Celes,
I’ve just purchased the new book and would love to join the 30DLBL challenge in December! I’ve already completed the ‘Find your Purpose’ series and started goal setting so am really looking forward to this. Thanks :)
Hi Rolo, you’re in!! :D Please check your mail for more details!
I’d like to be one of the participants. Thanks if you choose me, but thanks anyway, your posts are just really helpful for me! Go forward! :-o
Hey Magdi, everyone who gets the 30DLBL book will automatically be part of the 30DLBL Circle, which grants them access to all 30DLBL challenges in the future including this. Let me know if you’ve any questions! :D
