Do you think having 1-6 week challenges actually work to motivate clients and why?

I believe they can be very effective, if you understand where the participants are as far as their readiness to change is concerned.

One to six week challenges, in my opinion, are short enough to an individual to set and reach SMART goals they set for themselves if someone walks them through how to develop SMART goals.

Great question and suggestion!

Absolutely! It keeps them focused.

I think that they CAN motivate the participants because the ‘time certain’ element requires them to stay focused, to remain consistent, and to put forth their ‘best’ or at least a good effort because time is working against them – the clock is ticking. 🙂

Our most successful Bootcamps are based on 6 weeks
It’s realistic and people feel they can do it!
Any longer seems to be threatening!

Great answers. Thanks for your responses. I find them to work for 2 weeks at most. More than that is difficult to maintain for those clients I’ve tried it with.
