Assessment Week – Day 5Friday, February 14, 2026
Round 2 starts tomorrow. February 15th. Not the 17th.
Assessment Week did what it needed to do. I’ve evaluated Round 1, worked through the questionnaire, got clarity on what worked and what needs building. I’ve rested. I’ve reflected.
I’m ready. Sitting still for two more days feels like resistance disguised as rest.
What Round 1 Proved
Forty consecutive days. All seven habits. Perfect execution. 12.4 pounds lost. Two complete manuscripts. 50,000 views on BiblePictures365. Three books read and applied.
The 7-40 Challenge works. The structure holds. The habits compound.
What Round 2 Builds
Primary Focus: KDP research and publishing. Getting both novels formatted and launched on Amazon.
I have two complete manuscripts sitting on my hard drive. Round 2 is about turning creative output into published work.
Secondary Systems: Revenue tracking. Email list setup. Blog-to-video workflow. Assessment Week frameworks.
The Reading: Linchpin by Seth Godin. Becoming indispensable in both day job and side business.
The Habits: Same seven. Proven. Working.
Why Start Early?
Because Assessment Week did what it was supposed to do. Five days was enough.
I’m not starting from scratch. I’m building on foundation. Round 1 proved I can execute. Round 2 proves I can produce—actually put work into the world where people can access it, respond to it, potentially pay for it.
The creative breakthrough happened in Round 1. The business breakthrough happens in Round 2.
