30 Days to Get Out of Kollel Challenge

rock-climber-challengeWhere do you want to be in 30 days? If you do nothing, chances are that you will be in the same place that you are now. Take a 30 day challenge – there is no better time than now. In 30 days from now, bein hazmanim officially starts. The last 30 days of the zman are the perfect time to prepare for your escape from your present status as a “permanent kollel yungerman”.

What is a 30 day challenge? I don’t know where its origins are, but Ed Dale created his business model around it. In 30 days from today, challenge yourself to make just $1 online. Its the process of taking one goal and breaking it down into 30 parts, so that the goal becomes achievable.

If you begin today, you can discover your hidden talents that will enable you to make a living. Start today, make it your business to find out just what is your business. Tell yourself, “I refuse to stay in the never ending trap of kollel. I will discover the opportunities out there for me.”

Start off by heading to a bookstore, preferably a big bookstore like Barnes & Noble. (Make sure its far enough from Lakewood for your comfort ;) )

Head to any section that appeals to you (hint: Obviously not the fiction section), and start reading. Budget $100, and spend every dollar of it on books that speak to you. Now head home and start reading. When you come across something useful that you didn’t know, mark it up with a florescent highlighter. At the end of 30 days, you will have defined what it is that you want to do. Probably, you will have more than a clue of how to go about doing it.

Its really not that difficult, so what are you waiting for? If you start now, by the time bein hazmanim comes around it may very well be your very last bein hazmanim.
