Live Uncomfortably 2012 Plans

by Derek Johanson

in Goals, Site Update

Happy New Year to everyone. I’m going to take this post to announce a few changes that will be taking place on Live Uncomfortably this year (good changes of course).

1. You’ll notice an updated site design. I switched over to the Thesis framework. It’s simple and easy. I think the content will be easier to read now. Let me know if that’s not the case.

2. 3x a week posting. I will be blogging Monday, Wednesday, & Friday this year. Yeah, I know people make these claims and never follow through. But I’m not one of those people. I have a lot of different projects in the works, I’m going to be writing nearly every day anyways, and I have a lot of stuff to talk about so I figure it’s time to start sharing more often.

3. Challenges Category: I experimented documenting my progress using the Hollywood Physique over at ManChallenges.com and that seemed to work well. I didn’t want to post progress pictures here everyday. But I think Live Uncomfortably lends itself nicely to documenting ‘challenges’. So I’ll be making challenges an integral part of this blog. I’m not 100% sure how I’ll integrate them into the site and content yet, but they’ll be here.

On that note…

4. Announcing the Powerful Speaking Voice Challenge. I’d like to work on my speaking voice for the next 2 months. The goal is to have a better, clearer, and more powerful speaking voice in 60 days. I’d like to start eliminating the ‘umm’s, uh’s and like’s, as well as correcting bad pronunciation. I want to work on speaking from the diaphragm. 

Here’s what the challenge entails:

  • I’m going to use Bob Corff’s Speaker’s Voice Method program every day. It’ll be about a 30 minute commitment. This program was recommended to me by a friend. It seems legit thus far.
  • I’ll be doing a minimum 1 podcast a week (see next announcement), starting January 1st – Feb. 28th. (total of 8 – I’ll probably want to do more)
  • I’ll do a minimum of 4 webinars.
  • And I need to write and film a minimum of 4 sales videos for my different businesses.

I figure doing all these things will help greatly improve my speaking voice over the next 2 months.

5. Announcing the Sex, Money, Six Packs Podcast. I want to talk more and improve my voice. And, I want to interact with more bad ass people… so what better way than to start a podcast? And an oddly named podcast at that.

My goal is to get experts on the call and do some candid interviews. The Sex, Money, Six Packs podcast will be casual but very informative. I want listeners (you) to walk away with actionable info you can use immediately to improve your life. I already have a few awesome guests lined up.

I’m still getting things setup but that will be ready very soon.

Should be a fun 2012!
