This is indeed a great post!
This is my first time here and I’m impressed with your
articles, very inspirational.

I have one tip to share about goal setting success as well,
it is that once you have set your goals, you must put yourself
on the line by making a public commitment.

After you made a public commitment, you will have no
other choice but to achieve your goals.

To Your Goal Setting Success,
Shawn Lim

I just saw the movie The Opus. thanks for sharing it Gord. I thought it was wonderful too. I recommend it to everyone. It is a great film. Be sure to see it. I will be attending the premiere of the film in Arizona as well, which is strange for me because I don;t really like to go out to public events, but i really want to meet the people that put this film together. Looking forward to it!

I just saw a great movie on Goal setting that I think everyone should know about. The Opus Movie. The Opus is a great movie that teaches the achievement process and effective goal setting. It is a great tool for making a correct plan and formula for getting to your success and achievements. The movie features a great story but also lessons from several top personal development leaders like Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, Douglas Vermeeren,and many others. it was a fantastic movie.

Great post. I just wrote a post on rewriting resolutions as SMART goals where I share one of my blogging goals: to comment on ten blogs per week, five comments on blogs I have previously commented on to further strengthen those relationships, and five comments on new-to-me blogs to expand my network by forming new relationships. I'm still formulating my other blogging goals, but I do know I want to dive even deeper into blogging this year.

I’m hoping to make more customizations to the template my blog is using, but more importantly, improve my writing skills and grow that community around my blog. Those two goals are what are really going to be motivating my blogging in the next while.

Happy new year!

I started a new blog on New Year’s Day. My erstwhile niche blog was becoming too general, so I wanted to take the general content off to its own blog so that the travel blog could revert to a showcase for my writing and adventures. I now have one general, three niche and one shared niche blogs.

Therefore, much of my goal setting has had to do with getting organized, keeping on top of comments, growing readership (I want 1000 readers this year, not necessarily of each blog but spread over the four ones that are just mine). I’ve also made some commitments regarding writing up my travels soon after I complete them, as I found last year that they tended to get dimmer with age. And, because I am a travel blogger (RV, motorcycle, travelogs) that means I had to set some goals for actually doing the travel.

I’ve listed the whole lot up on the page above in the thursday thirteen meme, something I’ve found an interesting tool for getting to know other bloggers and for generating ideas. Starting the new blog was actually a good move for helping me focus on all the rest of what needs to be done.

My goal is to use my blog to raise awareness of the value of social networking for professional learning and development for midwives and health professionals. cheers Sarah

I have only one big goal for this year in terms of blogging; that is to file an early retirement in my work, and be a full-time problogger. I know this will be a very big challenge for me but with all of you guys like Darren and his site, I know it will be easier for me. Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

Having just started my blog in December I’ve posted some very ambitious goals for 2008. Of them I’m thinking that the most achievable is:

Be invited, or push for a guest post on at least 1 prominent blog.

I guess it all depends upon how I define “prominent” :-)

OMG! My husband and I dropped the baby off with the grandparents and did the exact same thing today with the same categories.

My husband is quitting his day job in two weeks to go full-time with his own web programming company. Our goal is to make our business sustain us for the year. We also have goals to finish paying off our last debt bill.

I am hoping to grow my blogs enough that I can leave my day job. I also hope that I can use it as a jumping off point for my public speaking and creativity consulting business.

Have a great new year!

I actually wrote a blog on this the other day with the goals I was hoping to achieve blog wise this year. It's all fairly achievable stuff, ie. more traffic, better content, more subscribers, more income, etc. so hopefully I can pull it off and have a good blogging year..

In addition to increasing subscribers, traffic, etc. I want to be more strategic with my posts in order to make them interact with eachother better.

Kind of like how Darren discussed writing new posts that build off your previous one.

Actually i started blogging just to learn how to blog. Frankly speaking now i am in love with it. I do want to get my domain and stuff but since am not a techie guy, so i have to set a goal of completing this task in 2008 (if God Wills) and to create a new vibrant look for it.
Since i only write political things, i would like to add few fellow bloggers to bring synergy in my efforts.
I would really like to become one of the Best Blogger of Pakistan in 2008.
Happy New Year to all the bloggers around!

These pre-planned goals are few but important enough to want to focus on them more than checking stats or any of the other acitivities that have been done for blogging in 2007. The 2008 goals are:

1. Get More Subscribers
2. Stay on top of the editorial calendar more to write posts more frequently.
3. Re-Design that incorporates the main website.
