Goals for 2011

Goals for 2011
8:22 pm , January 5, 2011 4

Personally, I’m a person that believes that New Year’s resolutions are somewhat irrelevant. If you want to do something with your life, why do you have to wait until January 1st to put those goals into place? Make those goals happen when you think of them. Don’t procrastinate because you’re “too busy.” You only live once (theoretically), and the older we get, the time goes by that much faster.

On the other hand, I definitely think it is important to make personal goals for yourself, and what better time to do so than the beginning of a new year? Goals are important on a short-term and long-term scale for measurement and encouragement. It also gives you a vision for your plans moving forward.

Enough philosophy. Let’s get down to the nitty gritty.

Goals for 2011:

1. Represent myself and my company as a professional, knowledgeable individual with a drive to help my clients become successful. In order to do this, I will learn as much as I can about Internet marketing, design, and branding, as well as develop and maintain my skill set in the web industry. I cannot help my clients if I do not continually grow my skills as a project manager and marketer.

2. Grow my client base so that I can continue to help a list of individuals meet their marketing goals. I get my energy from people, and I have found that my calling in life is to help others succeed. I want to help you find a job, discover the wonders of joining the social media community, and make you feel good about your personal brand.

3. Demonstrate my motto of “Creativity. Leadership. Integrity.” throughout my personal and professional life. These are the qualities that I would like to emulate as an individual, and I think they are ideal for me to succeed.

4. Serve my clients to my best ability. This means answering emails at 11 p.m., providing a recommendation to a friend in need, and providing an ear when they need someone to listen.

5. Establish myself as a social media marketer and advisor. I love social media marketing just as much as I love interacting with people in real life. If I love it so much, why not make a career out of it?

6. Meet the goals listed above!

Now it’s your turn. Think about what you want to accomplish in 2011. Can I help you with those goals? Maybe. But you have to figure them out first.

Happy New Year everyone!

    Jenn:

    Nice post. Be careful with number 4… don’t burn yourself out and be sure to make time for yourself. I also think you are doing a pretty good job with establishing yourself as a social media marketer. Keep up the great work.

    I don’t think it’s necessarily waiting until January 1st. It seems as though it’s more along the lines of finding enough motivation to establish goals. Setting yearly goals is something that companies do (at least ours does) and it allows one to break it down.

    If you plan on making $12 a year then you have to set the plan to earn $1 each month and how you get there. If next year you want to make $24 then you have to figure out how to earn $2 each month.

    I really like this post. Thanks for sharing your goals and good luck in 2011. Make sure you set yourself up for success and get the small things taken care of so the big things can just follow.

      Well said Greg. I create goals for myself all the time.

    Nice post Jenn! I love that you’ve established goals, then put them out here for all of us to see and share with you. It’s also beneficial to break each of those strategies you’ve mentioned down, and put concrete steps, names, sites, timeframes, budget, etc. to each of them. It takes time, but the great part is that becomes your to-do list for most of the year!

    Great job!
