Sonia,

Great post. I’ve done 2, 3, 4 and 5. Well, it wasn’t free. I signed up for Nick Usbourne’s Million dollar secrets to online copywriting. It’s worth paying for it too. I’m not sure about a product in a weekend. Seems a bit ambitious to me.

Well I think goal setting is important, if you really take goals seriously. The issue with most people is that they start off with audacious goals in the beginning of the year and give up too early.

It already early in 2010, but its not too late to set goals for the year and get really serious about them!

Well, here goes:

1. Still needs some formatting, but the first week of January I’ll be launching my $9 mini-product “(6 Steps to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love) Step 3: Finding Practical Passion” (um, yeah, step 3; I’ll get the other five done later)

2. Seven parts plus intro: 7 Writing Imperatives (http://www.notwhatimeant.com/category/style/7_writing_imperatives/)

3. Reconnected with the folks on Tom Peters’ blog, said hello to John Moore’s Brand Autopsy, been getting around a bit and have tools set up to keep it up.

4. My perfect day, which is totally viable for 2010: http://www.somedaybox.com/now/#perfect-day-2010 (I wrote it out by hand, but wanted it online too)

5. Hey, I’m already subscribed to IMSP, so I was ahead of the game.

@Marshall & @Niall, I agree, I think most people just figure they’ll throw December out altogether.

I think people give up too quick on the year they are in (2009) and start thinking about what they want to achieve next year, seems like all the goals start coming out at the start of December these days! Even in the 2 days that we have left this year there is a mountain that you could achieve if you really put your mind to it! What is the point of taking ages to set a ton of goals if you are just going to give up on them all by the end of Jan? I think like you say people should focus a little more on there here and now
