It's that time of year when new resolutions are made. Or, as lots of us like to call them nowadays, new targets and goals.
From a business point of view that's an easy one - more sales please! And perhaps tweaking a few things to give us smoother processes along the way. Oh and don't forget to recruit the good quality people too.
From a personal perspective, more quality time with the family is a must. Note my choice of words.
By far one of the most challenging of goals I have set for myself is to be more creative when it comes to writing. So I make my first concerted effort here in this blog. From now on I shall write whatever gobbleygook articles I fancy and hope that someone will leave a kind comment and perhaps some words of encouragement.
By the way, Su Grainger, if you read this, I've been tapping away at the EFT to get these paragraphs down.
I've been asking some inane questions on Linked In and I'm quite surprised that I've received some answers. So my next task this evening is to respond to those kind people and get on with some internet networking. Sounds fun hey. If you've had any dealings with people on Linked In perhaps you would like to leave a comment and let me know if it's been of any use to you.
I shall report back later in the blog if anything transpires from the correspondence.

Jayne,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Sorry for shouting. One of my resolutions is to be a bit louder and prouder.
I know exactly what you mean about getting more sales.
I've been guilty though in the past of getting sales when we're not ready, so you're very wise to make sure you also get the quality rght behind the scenes with people and processes too.
I wish I'd had your foresight about 6 years ago!
I've been doing the right thing for several months now - focusing on quality, websites, blogs, internet marketing etc.
But there was no stampede until the last few weeks.
We've grown our client base by 14% over the last fortnight.
And really great clients too. And people who bought us because of who we are and the quality.
And with the benefit of hindsight (and the foresight you have and I didn't) we're ready to take them on and very well too.
I think you're on the right track and think you'll have a fantastic 2008.
You've got a great service which has loads of potential - and don't forget to pitch me on the new stuff you're doing when you're ready.
Have a great year! See you soon.
Ian Denny
