Greeting my friend,
If you’ve read any of my past musings you will see that every now and then I talk about losing focus when it comes to life, goal setting, business, social media, personal development, etc. When that happens you just have to put on the brakes sometime and say whoa horsey. It is time for me to do that again. So if you are a friend, follower, or fan of mine here are the corrections/changes I will be making:
1. I will be talking more about goal setting. I will probably even be getting up my list of goals and the progress I am making on each one. This is to drive/motivate you and to keep me in check. (UPDATE: See the bottom of this post. The list of goals is up.)
2. I will be working hard to be less cynical. This goes very much for Social Media (threw up a little there) and the players in that field. Man there are a lot of annoying people in the world. And there are a lot of people over hyping something that is very simple and very powerful. If I am lying I am dying. But every second I spend on those people and what they have to say is a second I am not making forward progress for me, my family and my customers. That just has to stop.
3. I’ll be taking my friends to task more on their goals and dreams. I’ve got a good friend William “RB” Bruce who has a very similar outlook on life that I do. You’ll see me kick his ass a lot more in public. And he will probably be kicking mine. Bring it on! I’ve got a couple of good local friends that I’ve had some in depth conversations with about what they want to do. I’ll be coming after them too. If you ever share with me what you want out of life I’ll do everything I can to push you that way.
4. I’ll be working harder on forming stronger connections with people on a deeper level. Screw this casual networking stuff. I want to know people and what they do more so I know who I can help, and who can help the people I know. I am a connector, always have been a great one, but I can get better.
5. I’ll be doing more video. I believe so strongly in video for the web, and I have for the longest time. I have a Flip Mino HD on me just about 24/7, but rarely take the time to fire it up. For that, I suck.
Feel free to take me to task when you don’t see my going where I say I should be going. Hop on twitter and bark at me. You can follow me on Twitter by clicking on this sentence.
Have a great day!
