Three Words for 2009
Jan 3, 2009 New
Chris Brogan suggests an interesting perspective on resolutions. He says “I always felt that resolutions were a little too push and not enough pull, and I wanted something a bit more compelling to pull me towards the future” – so instead of specific resolutions he comes up with three words that reflect his objectives for the year. These words are broader, and therefore can give you meaning even when you have achieved the goals you have set out. He says that these words instead help “frame your challenges and opportunities for 2009″. I looked at this task as though I was creating my “Vision” for the next year – three words that can drive my actions, and I will recall and focus on when I make decisions this year.
After reviewing my resolutions I came up with these three words that will define 2009 for me:
UNAFRAID
BUILD
SPARK
Be unafraid.
Be the best me there is. Set my ideas free – they are good. Be unafraid of what others might think, be courageous and even welcome risks. Answer questions, raise my hand and volunteer, look for challenges. Meet new people and face fears head on.
Build on my successes in 2008.
Continue to build my online presence, personal brand and my blog community. Take further steps in learning, experiencing, and using my digital marketing skills. Always be learning. Always be doing. Execution- not just planning. Enhance my my social network, by building on existing relationships and engaging with new members of my communities. Build on past accomplishments, and build towards the future by creating new opportunities.
Cause a spark.
Through my words, actions and my passion and focus I will help to draw out excitement in others. Ignite interest, be an evangelist for digital marketing, and social media. Help others to find their niche, discover an idea or a product. Love the “a-ha” moment. Find the sparkle: the passion and enthusiasm in others. Collaborate, share, and engage with passionate, kickass people. Inspire and be inspired.
