Wishing You Success In The New Year

2008 has arrived, and I have to say I’m extremely optimistic about this year. I have BIG plans for my business and personal life, so it looks like it’s going to be a wild but fun ride. I don’t have any new year’s resolutions, because I try to work on my long and short term goals daily (as opposed to once per year with new year’s resolutions).

Personal Goal: Right now I’m working on a complete remodel of a distressed property (fixing up websites is so much easier than fixing up offline real estate) while still keeping busy with client work and my own sites. It’s been an extremely hectic year so far, and we’re only 10 days in! Finally getting the dream office that this house provides is something I’ve needed to do for a long time, and this year I’m making it happen instead of talking about it. It also doesn’t suck that the house has a basement (pretty rare here in Phoenix) and a pool.

Business Goal: I have about 10 site launches planned for this year, and I expect all to be very lucrative. I’ve slowly changed my mindset when it comes to internet marketing and feel like previously I couldn’t see the forest for the trees. In the beginning, it was all about tweaking content and building links with a singular focus on capturing “free” search engine traffic (not a good idea as the search engines can be a fickle bunch, so easily offended). I’ve now evolved into a smarter marketer that can see beyond the search engine traffic and gain not just traffic but conversions from more reliable sources.

I’ll write here when possible, but with so much going on posting will most likely be even lighter than usual for the next couple months. Happy New Year and here’s to wishing you the best of luck and success in 2008!
