Building (sand)castles

Obviously I don’t want to be building sandcastles for my business, I want something more substantial that will not collapse with the first wave or adversity. My ‘castle’ is my business and I want to add at least another storey to it this year.

I have some ideas about what I want to do and I am using Microsoft’s OneNote to keep my ideas in order. Here are my plans -

  • Grow my client base
  • Get involved with local community/businesses
  • Blog more
  • Learn new design techniques

Using OneNote I am breaking each one down into short-term goals and brainstorming ways to achieve them.Some I have deliberately under-set so I don’t get over-whelmed but all are SMART. There is one other achievement I am aiming for but I am too shy to express it just yet.

What goals have you set for 2010 and how are you planning to achieve them?

Good luck!

I think the local thing is the definite way to go. The internet has made things too global at the expense of the community. Modern technologies like email (ok, not that modern), video conferencing, google wave, etc. have made it possible to deal with people all over the world. This is fantastic in some respects, but nothing can beat someone you can meet with one to one and discuss ideas.

Stop using microsoft products tho’! ;)

Thanks for your input Darren, always happy when you drop by.

BTW - I do use some non-microsoft products, I just really like OneNote :-)
