One day I hope to look back on this blog and see dozens, if not hundreds, of articles covering a variety of different topics. Perhaps with enough practice (which is really all this blog is), I may become good enough to contribute to an established publication, who knows where this may lead.
I initially thought that I would simply write about whatever came to mind as I sit down at the laptop. While I'm sure I will encounter it at some point, I've very rarely had difficulty with any sort of writer's block or "fearing the blank screen".
However, given my research so far, I know it's a far better idea to have a plan. Or perhaps "outline" is the more appropriate word.
So having sat down with a pen and notepad, I've identified some areas I would enjoy writing about and perhaps others would enjoy reading about.
* Bad-Ass People
* Motivational Speeches
* Extreme Challenges
* Fitness Challenges
* Records
* Book
* Psychology
* Practical methods & advice
* Bad-Ass Places
* My own thoughts, feelings & experiences.
I'm sure the list will change here and there, but I think that would give me lots of scope to write in different ways and will provide a varied and interesting read.
In a previous post, I mentioned that there was nothing original about me. That's not a bad thing. I have so many role models that I almost seem to have become a collector of sorts.
As it's top of the list, here are a list of some bad-asses, some famous, some not so famous, that have gone out into the world and proved themselves in a variety of different ways. Also, as a by-product of this blog is to motivate as many people as possible, I have made sure to list the same number of male & female bad-assess from each field.

19. Wim Hof - Extreme cold endurance athlete
20. Cath Pendleton - Extreme cold swimmer

The internet seems to enjoy lists. I enjoyed putting this one together. I have no idea who will be the first I write about, but I'm looking forward to it.
Maybe I should be ending each article with some sort of catchy bad-ass slogan?
Stay bad-ass?
Keep working?
Never give up?
Maybe all three?
Who knows. Either way, that's my task here done.
