Associates at Keller Williams Realty International (KWRI) set a wellness goal last year and worked as a team to achieve it together. The results were amazing. We want to share with you what we learned and give you the tools to help you and your colleagues achieve your goals in 2015. **Form a Team and Work Together.** In 2014, associates at KWRI launched a 66-day step challenge to walk 10,000 steps each day. Participants were evaluated before, during and after the challenge. Numerous participants reflected that working as a team toward a common goal helped them achieve more than if they had attempted it on their own. Why? Working in a group makes you accountable to your peers and keeps you encouraged to stay on path. Not only did 61% of KWRI associates finish the challenge, 79% are still living it by being more active than they were before the challenge.

Based on these findings, the writers created the 66-Day Challenge to give readers the tools they need to form positive habits in their lives.
