Rather then set specific “resolutions” for the new year, I decided on a theme to carry me through 2009 and I wanted to share it withyou, as it’s something both new and experieced marketers can benefit from.
The theme itself? MOMENTUM!
That’s moving forward (not just moving on).
I had an absolute rash of personal stuff come up just after the 1st that has kept me both literally busy and emotionally busy. It’s been hard to concentrate on work stuff as I’m so busy worrying about the personal.
And I repeated to myself, “Momentum, momentum, momentum…”
Working at home with 2 boys and a husband in the house, I have something like 8 zillion interruptions every day. I’m not one that focuses well when there are contstant interruptions.
I remind myself, “Momentum, momentum, momentum…”
These last few daysmade me think a lot about my business, in particular when I was getting started and jumping from product to product, idea to idea. Had I given up when the first several things I tried didn’t work out, had I lost my enthusiasm and my momentum, I wouldn’t be where I am now.
I want you to have huge forward steps, to be excited about the possibilites of the 12 months ahead of you.
I hope you’ve downloaded the newly updated Social Media Daily to get you started. It’ll help you use social media and Web 2.0 properties for link building.
There is another report I’m just putting the finishing touches on I’ll be sharing with you shortly too, and it’s unlike anything I’ve published before. I’ll post here (and email, if you’re on the update list) when it’s ready.
Let’s move forward this year with big ol’ giant steps! I’ll be putting out tons of information to help you get there!

Hi Michele,
I just finished ready Social Media Daily, which I’m going to start utilizing very soon, it’s really a great eBook and will be helpful also with getting traffic!
I can relate to being interrupted a gazillion times a day – by a 3 yr. old! I also don’t concentrate well with interruptions.
I have been jumping around online for a year now, until recently. I’m one of Alex Jeffreys students, and I’m learning so much and finally have a direction. I mention Social Media Daily a lot recently, you have a really great site and your Social Media Daily will be helpful to a lot of us trying to make it online.
Have a great day,
Lori James
Hi Michelle
Just agree so much with you about a new year of total distractions. I still have my to do list each day and do manage to bump things off but there is a constant moving to the next day as well. Despite this my new website went up(i put in the new one above)so today I start on my way through implementing your social media daily outline.
I love reading all from you and have even downloaded the RSS feed.
Thanks for your inspiration!

Hi Michelle, loved the Social Media Daily report – very thorough and broken down into weasy steps.
That is the common ground we all share – jumping from thing to thing, fad to fad, idea to idea… as you say, the key is to stop and stick to one thing.
This is going to be a very good year for anybody who has the guts to step up and take it.
All the best,
Tony.

I like the idea you have here. Starting the new year with a theme instead of resolutions.
And momentum is a great fuel to throw on the fire. Thanks for the ebook, will be implementing some of the strategies.
I think that will be my theme Implement

Happy New Year Michelle! And thanks so much for this post – spot on. In my experience resolutions rarely work, so your idea of a theme sounds great and what better one than momentum. I too kicked off the NY with lots of personal change and am way behind on all things social networking, work implementation etc so your post really resonated and made me feel I wasn’t the only one …. as well as helping to spur me on so thanks again. And look forward to reading your report ……
All the best for now

Yes. Great word to remember.
Too many people get bagged down in details and woe. Just get up and keep going and remember your intentions.
