Looking Back, Looking Ahead. And You?

Ken's Blog

New Year's Eve is a day for reflection and planning. What went well during the prior year? What did not? Were goals achieved? And what's the plan for 2009?

Let's think about the big picture that exists in the world today. Then consider the big picture of your life and where you are in it. Then set business and personal goals -- first, of course, review your successes and failures of the past year -- that gives you something to build upon as you plan for the coming year.

Every year, Janice and I go for a walk on New Year's Eve, down a snowy downtown street in Montreal. This year, it will be on a sunny beach in Anguilla. And for you? Let's start the conversation here in this post.

Goals break down, at least for me, into personal/family goals and business ones. And it's important to think of them, as I note above, within the context of your macro- and micro-environment. More on that in a second.

I'll go first with my own reflections...

What's Your 80-20 Core This Week?

Ken's Blog

Every day, we all make certain sub-optimal 20-80 decisions, in business and in life.

This all-too-human phenomenon is especially true once you "finish" the 10 DAYS of the SBI! Action Guide.  The Guide really should keep you on the right track in those all-important early days. But...

The more your site grows, the more you learn, and the more options you have.  The more possible directions (even if you shut out all the noise) arise.  And if you're not careful, it's easy to choose the direction you want to do, not the one you need to do.  (We all tend to do what we like.)

So, a suggestion...

Doing It Smarter

Ken's Blog

I was asked this question a while back in a teleseminar...

Is it harder to be successful on the Net today than it was a few years ago?

A successful Web site is every bit as possible to achieve today as it was in the past.

The key is doing it smarter, with good upfront research.

The Web has indeed become a more competitive place with more Web sites, but that also means there is more Demand, too.  With Site Build It!...
