My Professional 2009 Resolutions

New Year’s resolutions are tough for me because I try to be honest with myself. I try to set goals that are attainable and that I know I can and will achieve. So here goes.

  1. I will identify those in my network of influence (on me) that are negative and impress upon me a non-productive demeanor. I will totally eliminate them from my circle.
  2. I will attempt to increase the size and more importantly the quality of my network of business partners. I will work my hardest to learn from their experience and offer my participation where appropriate.
  3. I will schedule my days and weeks to be more fluid, yet more productive.
  4. I will attempt to face-to-face network more than I did in 2008.
  5. I will be more cognizant of my personal brand and achieve to sharpen its edges.

  2. I love the part about “schedule my days and weeks to be more fluid, yet more productive” – I’ll add that to mine =)

  3. “Those in my network .. that are negative.. I will totally eliminate them from my circle.” For a negative goal that’s amazingly positive :)

  4. @JonathanGunson * from Twitter * – Thank you. I think. :) It took me a while to identify that I need to consciously do this. It was a very eye-opening realization for me.

  5. @Mo Reilley * from Twitter * – I think this is a goal that if thought through and planned (ironically) properly, can make me more efficient.

  7. Very few people will sit down and write down their goals.
