There are many social media accounts that post motivational content on Instagram or LinkedIn. If you follow any of these accounts, I think you saw posts like; 6 months of hard work can put you 5 years from here, etc.

So when I see those posts I get really motivated and now I decided to try. But I will try it in 4 months because my school will start in September :(

The Steps Of The 4 Month Challange

1.Measure your Current Situation

First, know where are you now, how far you are from your main goal. It is important to know your current situation because it will help you to create your roadmap easily.

2.Set Goals

There are two types of goals: short-term goals and long-term goals. Short-term goals are for motivation when you achieve a short-term goal you feel more confident and motivated. This will help you nonstop.

The “Long-term Goal” in other words the “Main Goal” is the point you want to arrive at. Before starting to work on your main goal you must decide carefully. Because it must be something you really believe and something that makes you feel happy.

3.Create A Roadmap

Create a roadmap for a daily work routine. You can use a time management tool like Calendly or Google Calendar and schedule a program. Don’t panic when something blocks you follow your schedule be flexible and work any other time you find.

4.Go!

Star and don't stop for breaks until it finishes!

My Roadmap…

I have a complicated program because I have more than 8 goals for 4 months. Therefore I divided the four months into 8 sprints. Every sprint is 2 weeks and needs hard work.

But still, I have 1 main goal. My story about my main goal you can find it here.

My Hesitations…

I believe I can keep working for four months I don't hesitate about that. I hesitate because after 4 months this density will become my routine and I wouldn’t be able to stop working.

I think after 4 months I will have so many things to do because I’ll have many responsibilities born in these 4 months. And I am scared about becoming a workaholic.

Will I succeed? That's a big question. Let’s just wait and see it in 4 months.

So I started now bye!🙋‍♂️

Once you tasted the the feeling of "making content & touching peoples lives", you wouldn't be able to stop.
Honestly, you are already doing that.
It will just be on a bigger scale in the future :)
Let's protect our dreams Ahmet =)
