Wow, a lot of ideas floating around here. Steve, I can see why you may have been scared.

When suggesting ideas, it's important to remember that Steve is probably "the most growth-oriented person you will ever meet", and will decide on a trail that best challenges him and provides him with something to write about so he can further the growth of the community. While I like the idea of Steve writing a play, as it would intrinsically awesome, it seems that Steve prefers to explore more transformational trials, such as Media fasting or sleep experimentation.

Doing "the Opposite", while hilarious in a way, would result in the degradation of Steve's health, and I don't want to think of him as being like that.

Steve, what if your next trial was as gutsy as the current one. What about... "30 Days of How StevePavlina.com is Really Run"? It could function as a daily business log and provide very intimate details of how you run your business. From the daily responsibilities of responding to feedback and managing the forum through moderators to how you negotiate with affiliates (changing the names of course) and dealing with Google's adsense program. If done correctly, it could be a valuable tool for people who wish to create successful blogs. Think of it as "How to Make Money from your Blog" extreme version.

Or, you could do something really crazy do 1 video blog every day for 30 days. I realize this would require a bit of a change in your setup, but it wouldn't have to be much. Surely you already have a video camera or web cam that can connect to your computer. Getting experienced with expression with video would be a great growth experience! Now, I know what you're thinking, a 30 day video log would not be indexable by google. Well, you can write a concise keyword-smart description of each video, and if you added it to a video sharing site like YouTube, a completely new audience would have the opportunity to be exposed to your site. (Look, you're already up there.) Even though video as some disadvantages, you can express things via video that are ineffable to text. Think of how video could allow you to express your joy for life in a way that you haven't been able to before!

Food for thought.
