On September 15th, 2007, after working on ‘his thing’ for 89 days - 16 hours a day, Jeremy Harper achieved his goal of counting aloud from 1 to 1,000,000.
He streamed the whole thing.
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. He even streamed his sleeping and eating.
To celebrate reaching 1,000,000, which of these actions do you think he took?
- Wiggled the birdie dance?
- Necked a pint of Guinness?
- Wept uncontrollably and dedicated the feat to his late grandmother?
Counting aloud to one million may seem like a pointless exercise, but…
- Jeremy entered the Guinness Book of Records as the first person to count to one million out loud.
- He raised thousands for charity.
- And he became a little bit famous.
And he said this, ‘Everyone has their number one. Everyone has their one million. To get from point A to point B you do it, one step at a time.’
And 16 years later I’m writing about him.
The question is, what’s your thing?
And what’s your 1 to 1 million?
I’d love to know.
I’ll send a copy of the 2009 Guinness Book of Records (the first one Jeremy appeared in) to our favourite.
You can find out what Jeremy did to celebrate (including a video) below. Please leave your comment too!
Be Brilliant!
Michael
