New Year’s Resolution: You do have one right?

I love Philadelphia, my hometown!

Here we are on New Year’s Eve and although many bloggers have plans to celebrate this evening, they don’t have plans on how make 2010 better than 2009 for their blogs.

Sure, we could all use blog goals and objectives but all I’m asking right now is this: What promise did you make to yourself so your blog can continue to grow and thrive?

As many of us already know, the practice of writing something down makes it real. So if you haven’t come up with your New Year’s resolution yet, take a few minutes to think of one and write it down somewhere. Better yet, post it on your blog!

Here’s mine:

I promise to continue to write fresh, original, useful articles and harvest relationships within the bloggers’ community.

See how easy that is? The next steps include creating those aforementioned blog goals and objectives. We’ll save that for another day.

So what’s your New Year’s resolution?

Frankly I’ll stick to goals since I find resolutions arbitrary and, well, a little silly.

  I agree with Dennis. I’ve never been a fan of new years resolutions because there never seems to be any stick with them. They last a couple of days or weeks and then everything goes back to normal.
  
  Solid goals, with a plan of action is what I personally prefer.

  A whole year longer is actually quite an accomplishment considering burnout rate is so high.

I don’t make resolutions, nor promises for that matter.

I do have goals and aspirations, that I plan to follow through on; i guess it’s a mater of semantics, yes?

  You have to start at $1/month first! Start by writing quality content and building relationships.

No resolutions this year, I’ll just enjoy what i have. 2010 was really challenging so now it’s time to stop and smell the roses, and just do the things that i like. I’m sure that success comes when you have fun, and not while you’re planning!
