January 2008 Goals Blog Conversation – Key Business Partners and Friends

Thursday Jan 31, 2008

Well, it is already 4 weeks into the new year—can you believe it? I can’t. Many business people set up their goals at the beginning of each year and I am no different.

However, one thing that I did different this year for 2008, was to break down my goals into monthly goals so the BIG goals don’t seem to daunting to me.

And I have ONE more goal that I wanted to complete for this month and I am doing it in this blog—A BLOG CONVERSATION. So I asked some of my friends to join in my blog conversation. At the end of this please go to my friend’s blogs to read what they have to say as well. And be sure to come back here to read my response as well.

So, I wanted to share with you about what some of my goals were for this year. And these are the ones that I have completed for the first month of 2008.

Next, I updated my website to have it reflect my business focus for online promotion and virtual assistance for coaches, speakers and writers. One way I accomplished this was by updating my header. I added my picture (more personal) and added the words online promotion (my specific expertise) for coaches, speakers and writers (my target market).

Also, I created a bi-weekly newsletter to increase my connection with others. My newsletter, Busy Day Report, provides articles and resources that will help you in your business and in life. Also, you will receive my “12 Tips to Business Success Report” for free.
One more thing was to continue promoting my services that my clients are in search for.
I did this by updating my client communication to ensure that I was lined up with those people who are my target market. Also, setting up incentives with current clients to ensure longer contract terms.

In addition…for February, I am going to create another product, (along with my Coaching Forms Kit) a Speaking Forms Kit….so stay tuned for that.

I thought it would ask my friend, Jenn Givler to join in my conversation regarding her goals for January 2008?

So Jenn – please share with us what have you completed on your 2008 GOALS list so far?

Jenn, has already accomplished goals in January…she has some great discussions going on her blog, started her 2008 great 1 on 1 coaching program. To read Jenn’s response…..

And Jenn handed the “goal reigns” over to Katherine Reschke. One thing Katherine said that she completed on her “goal report” was to get on Blog Talk Radio with her own radio show. Read about her upcoming radio show Thanks Katherine for your input!

Laura,

Yes, goals are important because we all (I think) want to “see” our progress and by setting and accomplishing goals, helps us “see” those things.

So Laura…what are the goals you accomplished for January 2008? Please share with us.
