If you need any help arranging the anniversary trip to Europe I’ll happily help you out. Being a Dane I know a bit about Europe

the solutions on the horizen are very intriquing this year

deepen my affiliate nutritional counsulting work ie work smarter – 20 new clients a month

tout to all, that business is NOT business, business is personal and I am the queen of personal and want to get into the trenches

dive into a brand new arena and author blogs for others – this is WAY out of my comfort zone

continue as i have to lose weight by the end of the year hit 84 total pounds total weigh loss and be a size 14
(down from a size 24!)

to regain my hand strength, the long term goal to support my body enough to do yoga, can’t do that yet

How can you help Wendy? Thank you for asking! Set up that coffee date, help me understand how income is earned on a blog, see how we could help each other

(2) Meet or exceed my writing goals.

(3) Appreciate my family and enjoy time with them.

Your post is keeping me inspired to stick to my goals for 2008 so before I hop on my treadmill (my fitness goal is to exercise more) while my toddler is napping here’s my list and link to my new year’s post:
http://itsabelly.typepad.com/the_itsabelly_blog/2008/01/happy-2008-free.html

I’m making a lifestyle change by: -tracking my food intake
-exercising at least 3-4 times a week drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water a day
-going to bed by 10 pm most days -getting organized using GTD
-focus on a few priorities at a time instead of being scattered!

Oh, there are consequences to not following through on my fitness/health goals too. I can’t get on my computer at the end of the day if I haven’t exercised. For me being on my computer is totally critical because getting work done when my baby is sleeping at night is the only time I have to sit and focus. My husband’s consequence is he can’t watch sports after work if he didn’t go to the gym that day. Big one for him!!

I took my first yoga class last night and really enjoyed it. As you know I’m also working on my business plan.

I think we can help each other by chatting some day soon.

My resolutions are:

1. Spend at least an hour a day contributing to other blogs.
2. Reduce drinking to 2 evenings a week.
3. Get fit in time for Maldon Mud Race (normally held around new year).
4. Get A following on my blog.
5. Launch my new service.
6. Buy a good family car where 3 children and their car seats CAN fit in the back seat.

My goals for this year are to:
1. Grow Freelance Business
2. Network more
3. Quit Day Job
4. Do a chin up
5. Lose 10 lbs of body fat

What can you do? Continue to publish your great and motivating content. Thanks!

And as for how Wendy could help (which is a really cool thing to put down), probably point me to the right places on this site that could help me achieve the above! Thanks

Thank you so much for my red envelope, they’re so cute and I really needed some for my chaotic whiteboard too.

No wonder you’re feeling a bit [yeesh] at the mo, you put sooo much work into expanding the eMoms family last year. Biggy achievements like that would sap the juice from anyone!

You’re 2008 goals are fantastic and I’m sure that if you have anything to do with it, they’ll get whipped

I posted some crafty goals here http://emomsathome.com/craft-boom/7-achievable-new-year-resoloutions-to-make-2008-the-start-of-something-craftacular/

As for my own goals, I have 2 major ones:

1. Write a bag making book, and if time allows begin designing my own line of bag patterns.
2. Launch a product line which has my own branding on it (I have to keep schtum about what it is).

It’s going to be fun and interesting trying!

My New Year’s Goals?
1. 100 days of no refined sugar or white flour (I’m on day 4, had to chuck 2 garbage bags out of the house!)
2. Use the Getting Things Done system by David Allen to unload my mental “to do” stress and manage my life
3. New Homepage for Startup Princess (wait that was last year’s goal!?)by March
4. New profile software system for SUP up and running by Valentine’s Day.
5. Complete our Business Plan by end of this month
6. Write/Self-Publish our SUP book
7. Run 10k in July
8. Go to Canada with my family
9. Go to London with my college friends
10. Get pregnant with #4!
11. Go to bed before 11pm 5 days a week…hmm, that’s the hardest one of all.

What can eMoms do? Send me your traffic! Ha! 500k a month, Wendy? Geez! I’d love 100k in 6 months!

Make a difference to parents and children regarding the importance of grandma’s and how she could be there for the family.

Write better, I’m self taught, and dyslexic. Proving anyone who makes an effort can do this.

Learn to organize my bookmarks.

Read more regarding the back office of blogging.

Take some courses to help me understand the computer. I’m still in cyberspace more then I should be.

Work smarter accomplish more in less time.

Build unique visitors.

Write a new post everyday..I think that means get disciplined.

And for fun, We own an Barack Obama fan site and we wondered if we should auction it and if that would bring traffic..I’m not kidding we really do.it’s number one in the fan site lineup. We bought it several months ago on a whim..go figure. I read about one blogger who auctioned something and got great name recognition. I’m wondering if we could do the same.

Finally, come through the surgery with a speedy recovery and no complications including Che mo which scares the hell out of me.

My best,

I will:
1) Make a new header/banner for Puppet Kaos
2) Make more puppets
3) Make more music so I don’t always use Creative Commons stuff

I might:
1) Start a new blog about get rich schemes (of course, stupid ones that will never work)
2) Think of something else to go here.
