As someone new to the blog sphere, it has been difficult to maintain some level of consistency in the frequency of my blogs about issues in luxury goods and services. Today, I am taking cue from fellow blogger, Greg Fitz (aka the social media ringmaster) of Create and Consume, and I am signing on to his 30-day challenge. The challenge is basically to blog about something each day for the next 30 days.

The challenge is inspiring because it is an authentic effort at making yourself accountable. It is also an effective way to be more creative because “any creative breakthrough inevitably rests on the shoulders of all that came before it. For a painter, that might mean studying the masters” (from Tony Schwartz on How to Think Creatively). For me, the next 30 days will involve a lot of reading on a wide range of topics in luxury and retail which I believe will be more randomly selected and varying than my current set of posts.

If you have just read this post, thank you. Look out for my first entry in the 30-day challenge in the next 24 hours.
