Q2 How do you apply these basics in your day-to-day practice or long range goals?? Q2 How do you apply these basics in your day-to-day practice or long range goals?? A2 I use a lot of checklists and I write programs that automate and walk me through tasks. A1: Organization, time management, and commitment. All are super important Always good to get some planning done, eh? A2. I am constantly updating my contact info with my social media handles/pages & updating my calendar Lisa! Happy New Year! Love the avatar ;) A2. Doing things in an organized fashion are somewhat part of who I am so on one hand I may be really good at lists and… A2… time management. I’m so particular it gets in the way of actually getting things done. Hiya Raquel welcome! Happy New Year! Am I a ding dong? I see 75% of tweets in tweetdeck & 75% in twubs & hoping I'm catching u all. Is that my blonde showing? Scherrie, what system do you use? Like, I like to use Google contacts and calendar, for anywhere.. hi! happy new year to you too. Love the topic tonight I'm doing well, we actually started doing a weekly newsletter for now I noticed that, Da Vinci! Very Cool! (Weren't u hounding Pam on that? lol) U know it, don't u :) lol Still mastering google calendar. I use the calendar on my iPad & an old school gigantic desk calendar LOL yep I was. We were doing it bi-weekly before but we have a lot of stuff! Feels good to like, revamp & get focused, especially when that business helps put something back in our pocket Wanted to keep people updated and we're adding things JUST for subscribers Oh, I hear u! I clear my time, through proper management, and fill it with something. (Da Vinci knows ;) ) Q3 Do you prepare your goals for each new year or do you continue with what you have been doing? Shavonn, do you find that that is what gives u joy & satisfaction? It does for me. A2 I have a monthly desk pad now- so I see it! The Google calendar helps too! Weekend- plan 4 week Oh, I LOVE those. Haven't used one for awhile.. Always tempted to doodle on it ;) Q3 Do you prepare your goals for each new year or do you continue with what you have been doing? A3. It's a good to reassess your goals each year and see what's working and what wasn't .. then create new goals to match Ordering a whiteboard for my wall. 1 where I can map out my strategies & curriculums 's desk pad reminded me LOL Yes- it a smaller version got from Target! I'll take pic later. It is always there so it reminds me! Oh, that would be great to see! A3 I generally continue & improve on what I did the previous year. Hey all. I do have to apologize to u. With this recent move (from West to East coast) I may have missed personal tweets. .. and by the way. It is coooooooold here in upstate NY. Just sayin' Q3 This is rather a symbiosis of two. I definitely make new goals, but also watch older ones to be completed! I have one too!!! Mine has the 2 month calendar on it, it's a LIFESAVER A2: time management: Scheduling some tweets & posts, so I can be asleep, but my latest post is published at certain time. yes! I get a great deal of satisfaction from it… kinda worries me but oh well LOL same here! A3 I figure out what works and doesn't than work on improvements! Luv it! MT : Q3 This is rather a symbiosis of 2. I def make new goals, bt also watch older 1s to be completed A3. I continue on my current path. I don’t do New Years resolutions. If I need to change, I do it then. Yeah, I used to revamp all, but then I was sad if I couldn't reach goals. Improvement works better. Wise, u r! Social Web Cafe TV: Marketing Momentum w/Charles & Deborah: new episode Thu Want to hear something crazy, Raquel? I was born n MN. I know & I can't handle NY. Sad, eh? I applaud u! Oh, and I LOVE Minneapolis. That's what turned me into a city girl. So I tried Los Angeles, and now on to NYC.. I figure you only live once, right? If you are wired to be organized, embrace it. (So I tell myself) i agree! Cities are the best! They inspire me to reach higher goals Q4 What do you think you will implement in your overall business plan/approach for 2014? U crack me up (be asleep…) Good planning sweetie. Go 4 it! LOL that's how OCDs cope ;) Give Mpls a wave for me, eh? My heart may be in LA, but my home started in MN. I feel kindred to u now :) A4. Comprehensive financials! A4 I just joined the Internet Marketing Ninjas in NY, so I will be a balancing act in 2014! Q4 What do you think you will implement in your overall business plan/approach for 2014? A3: I use sticky notes (and lots of them!) to write down my to do list and goals. A4. We're going to be working on providing the best experience for our readers/followers! More content, promos, engagement I'm working on updating my business plan Luv it! MT : A4. We're going to be working on providing the best exp for our readers/followers! Those stickies come in handy! MT : A3: I use sticky notes to write down my to do list and goals. Awesome! I know it can be a tad tedious but you've got this :) Thnx :) Da Vinci, will there be a workshop this yr? So fun in 2013. A4 agree provide more content- I also want to be more active on other blogs- build tribe If u use u can use their Labs to schedule tweets & see how many clicks u get. Kinda like a "social media scientist!" If we do one this year it will be later in the year :) Good 4 u, Marisa! Another option, with stats, too, is It's definitely important to stay in the know with your audience and fill the needs :) We need to chat. That was my goal last yr & continuing. We should talk ;) You know where to find me! :) U know I'm not about bragging, but I'm digressing 2nite: I am officially a "Ninja" in 2014. Yeah!
