Jonathan has held a long-standing ambition to be a working, professional illustrator. It’s something he’s always wanted to do and talked about for as long as I’ve known him – we’re teenage sweethearts and have been together for 15+ years now, so that’s a pretty long time.
He’s had a few goes at it, a few false starts, a few attempts to get it going but for various reasons it’s just never happened (can anyone say “a creative’s lack of self confidence”?!). But he finally decided that it was time.
But instead of doing it alone, we decided to share his journey (his challenge) with others who were passionate about creating a lifestyle to love…and so the 12 Week Challenge was born.
What It Is
The 12 Week Challenge is an opportunity to make amazing progress towards your goal of location independence. But this time you won’t be alone. Here are a few things we hope to achieve with the 12 Week Challenge:
- Life-changing progress for as many participants as possible
- Community spirit and a collaborative effort to get “there”
- A platform and spotlight for those on the journey with us
Who Can Take Part
Anyone! The 12 Week Challenge is an ongoing challenge available to you, whenever you want to take part. To take advantage of being part of a group, watch out for the periodic group challenges we’ll be running where you’ll get to take the challenge along with others.
How It Works
There are 12 weekly tasks which you need to complete in order (that’s really important since the tasks are layered and some follow on from the others). The weekly tasks are here:
Each week, we’ll walk you through the steps needed to achieve your goals (these will largely focus on the business aspect & setting up/running an online business) and share our top recommended resources with you.
