This is day number 16 out of my 90 day podcasting challenge. And I just want to say that it's been a great journey so far. Today I just had a hackathon. We had more than 750 to 800 people in the hackathon, put them into multiple teams and this time I tried something new. Now just so that some of you, you may not know what is a hackathon, anybody who comes into Internet Lifestyle Hub community as a silver member, what happens is I put them into a rigorous, fun, action oriented implementation game that we play called the Hackathon, which comprises of 10 different missions. And I go right from foundation to setting up their strategy, helping them design their curriculum, helping them build their influence, helping them set up their lead generation system and then getting onto their webinar selling and market domination. And this time I'm also going to be doing Facebook ads. So it takes a whole three month process for them to actually go from scratch to, to launching their entire game. Now if you're not a part of the Internet Lab self community, I would highly recommend that you go to sidzsids co, slash, join and join as a silver member because once you're in I'll actually get you on track and really help you take action. So this time what we did is in the hackathon is I put them into teams and we have more than 750 to 800 people playing the game and we have, you know, close to 80, 70 to 80 teams that are there right now. Each team around 10 people and each team has two leaders and each of these leaders are going to be nurturing the respective team to become a finisher. So if they finish this game, if they complete all the assignments in an in a 90 day time frame, they get a 2000 rupee voucher, a freedom finisher T shirt as well as certificate that goes to them. And this has been one of the best things that I could do to help people get results. In fact 2020 I started the first hackathon and and right now I'm doing the 23rd edition of the Hackathon and as of today more than a thousand people have become finishers. Out of what I've been able to document. There are many people who have finished but they did not come back and submit. But we had more than thousand finishers, more than 300 to 406 figure earners and more than 101 crore earners documented and more than 10, 10 crore earners. So this hackathon has pretty much been the starting point to many many success stories in our community which who are digital entrepreneurs who got started on this journey. So this time I tried something different when I put them into teams and I can't wait to see how this really pans out. And one of the most important things in a knowledge business what I realized is that people don't like information. You can go to YouTube, you can swim there for 24 hours a day and get even more confused. What people lack today is focused implementation and mentorship. So if you are a knowledge giver, if you're an expert, if you're teaching, whatever topic that you're teaching, unless you create an implementation program or an implementation mastermind, like what I'm doing, like a hackathon or a brandathon or a healathon or a whatever thon that you want to create in your own topic, healthathon, all of these things are the ones that are going to help make progress for your students. So if you're not designed that, please do that. And before I sign up this podcast, I just want to tell you that you are awesome.
