Recap: January 2009

Yes, I know. I've been slacking on updating the blog. From what I've heard I just need to write as much as possible and it will become a habit. So get ready for more posts.

Most of you are reading this blog because of the picture I took of the US Airways Flight 1549. I want to thank you for still being interested in what I have to say.

Enough of that let's recap January.

Review of my 5 goals for 2009:

1) Sailing: I haven't done anything to accomplish this goal. I think April will be when I will start to find a place to get some lessons in Sarasota.

2) 500 K in Sales: We are on schedule and I will have to make an amendment; change sales to profit.

3) Keep my weight between 195-205: I am currently 205. I am not doing much weight training everything is cardio or body weight stuff. I am adding couple of sub goals:

4) Write 100 Blog Posts: Getting there. Trying to be better.

5) Have over 1000 followers on Twitter (Accomplished):  Here's a tip on how to do this.

  • Take a picture that is seen world wide. (i.e. be in the right place at the right time and post the picture unto TwitPic.)
  • Since I have accomplished this goal I want to keep adding interesting, smart, motivated people to interact with.

There you have it. Seems like I'm doing pretty good so far. Let's see how February goes. Oh and here's my 6th and 7th goals for 2009.

6) Meet Richard Branson: If anyone has tips on how I can get this done I'm all ears. He's been one of my business hero's and it would be an incredible experience. Plus, I want to add something that is way out of the box and would seem far fetched at this point.

7) Finish these two courses on Academic Earth: This is a great site that has gotten me very excited about education and its potential on the web.

More posts to come,

Janis

    ha ha, I had a dream that I was on a pier in NYC when the plane landed, and that I took a photo, but because I was in dreamland, I couldn’t get myself to upload the picture to twitter quick enough!

    Meeting Richard Branson may not be as hard as it seems. Just two weeks ago two Dutch students just asked if they could join him on his plane to Washington to see Obama’s inauguration. Richard said yes! Imagine being in a plane for over 8 hours with Richard Branson…
    I wrote about that story on my blog last week. Sometimes you just simply have to ask.
    But just to be curious…what would you talk about with Richard Branson once you get the opportunity to meet him? I suspect that meeting him is only the way to learn something from him, right?
