Goal setting for 2010
I like goal setting, so here is what I hope to accomplish this year and what I did or didn’t for the last.
Here are some my goals for 2009, I’ve crossed-out the ones that were accomplished:
- publish my first inspirational/motivational book
- publish another WoodMarvels.com volume (current book one is already in pre-press)
- triple the total traffic from all my sites
- create lasting change in at least 100 people using LegendaryLife.com (thousands will join but not everybody will use it as intended)
- create two new sources of revenue for myself (online or otherwise)
- try to win some sort of award somewhere, somehow
- get WoodMarvels.com pre-cut kits into retail stores (online or otherwise)
- enjoy the gift of life even more!
Things I wasn’t able to predict
- I would write my first science fiction book around the same time as working on my WoodMarvels.com Volume II book, hoping to have it published sometime in February
- I got mentions in newpapers, blog and magazines around the world regarding my design work
- Due to WoodMarvels taking up so much of my time, I haven’t had as much time to dedicate towards this blog or LegendaryLife, though I did launch it already, it’s only a shadow of what it should be, something I hope to rectify sooner than later
- I would accomplish my dream of living in China for a year and learning Mandarin (something I’m doing now)
My 2010 Goals
- I really think this is the year that WoodMarvels.com blows-up on me, in a good way! All the things that I track regarding this site are on a steep upward trend with no letting-up. You can read what’s been happening right here: WoodMarvels 2009 Year in Review as well as the goals I’ve established for that property.
- I want to become fluent in Mandarin, it’s a tough language, but one that I enjoy and being in the country where that’s all they talk is my chance to turn this long time dream into reality
- I still want to win an award of some kind, somewhere, somehow but it seems that my focus for this year will be on WoodMarvels more than anything else, which is great fun
The Bottom Line
Focus still leads to opportunities hitting you from unknown origins.
