Is It 2009 Yet?
Seriously, is it 2009 yet? Because I’m ready for it.
Not ready as in “I have every week and month of planned out” (which, you know I don’t), but ready as in “yeah, I’m pretty much done with you, 2008. I don’t care what I do and don’t have planned for the New Year, but bring on 2009!”
I have so many things that I’m looking forward to that I don’t want to dirty them by associating them with 2008. Many of these things I’ve never really done before, or haven’t done in a while - like joint ventures and teaching seminars at the local community college.
Onward.
2008 will end with something that was supposed to begin the new year. A new website. It’s in the testing phase right now, so if you go there, don’t be all BOOS* when you see a missing page or some filler copy. While I’ve been excited about the idea of a new site since January, I’ve been so busy all year that finding a stretch of time to dedicate to it just wasn’t happening.
Testing offline doesn’t float my boat…I like to play with live ammunition, so testing live is just my style. I’m a one-person operation - don’t forget that.
But here’s the problem. There’s actually a lot of 2008 left. I don’t see much benefit in waiting until Jan 1 to get that burst of New Year euphoria. That means I can’t just sit around surfing the web for the 1,000th webinar on microbusinesses or finding 200 new people to follow on Twitter. There is much to do.
My job for the rest of the year, then is simple:
- Find clients
- Finish my website
- Market my website and services
- Work on the future
And, yes…those things are in order of importance.
