How Has 2009 Been For You?

With the end of the year fast approach­ing, I thought it would be a good time to do some reflect­ing. This is a great time to reassert your­self and make new goals for the new year. I think this is a pretty impor­tant exer­cise. It helps you see where you were and where you are now. And where you want to go in the future. It’s a good way to see what areas you need to improve on and what new ven­tures you can start on.

It’s real sim­ple, just ask your­self a few ques­tions. Write them down and write the answers down. Check to see what goals you made and which ones you met. Then make more goals for the next year. You can only get bet­ter if you work at it and mak­ing goals will help you focus.

These are just ques­tions to get you think­ing. Your goals are are great way to help you focus and make each year bet­ter than the last.

- What kind of goals did you make for your­self for 2009?

- Are your new goals push­ing you at all? In other words are they just enough to get by? Or are they push­ing your com­fort zone and mak­ing you become a bet­ter mar­keter and busi­ness person?

Feel free to add your own per­sonal ques­tions as well. I think it’s just a good idea to take some time and go over your goals for the year and make new ones for the next. Keep push­ing your­self to achieve. Suc­cess is in that direction.

So how was your 2009?

This year has been an inter­est­ing one for me. It was a year of change and much strug­gle. In a good way. I have been into inter­net mar­ket­ing and work­ing online for a few years, but this year was the one when I actu­ally did take the plunge. I fig­ured out what I needed to do and went for it.

I changed a lot in my mind­set as well. Things really just started to “click” for me this year. It was a big step in the right direc­tion. Finally. I real­ized not only what I needed to do, but what I wanted to do too. I started going with my pas­sion instead of blindly try­ing to do things like every­one else.

This blog was a huge step for me. It’s basi­cally when I decided that writ­ing was for me. It has been fan­tas­tic so far, and I’ve met some excel­lent peo­ple. I also launched my writ­ing ser­vices as well and have been build­ing on both since.

Granted, I don’t make enough money to work from home full time yet, but I couldn’t be hap­pier with what this year has brought me. Between all the other strug­gles of life, I have finally fig­ured out what I’m going to do with myself. I’ve made huge steps towards pur­su­ing that. And I’ve devel­oped an unwa­ver­ing mind­set to keep going and never giv­ing up.

It’s a start and a place that every­one begins.

I believe 2010 will be a great year as well. I have a lot of ideas to imple­ment and cre­ate for the com­ing year and I hope to help out a lot of peo­ple in the process. My goals are set and I’m mov­ing forward.

I’m more than ready for the next year. My goals are set. Are yours?
