I agree that the New Year's resolutions are weird, and I did not intend this to be a new years resolution, but see how it may be seen that way. To me new year resolutions are things like, quit smoking, go to the gym, more of self improvement stuff. Thanks for your comment, and look forward to having you around. Cheers.

Goal-setting is definitely very important, but I personally think that the whole new-years resolution thing isn't ideal. It's just too normal for people to make their resolutions and then do nothing about them. And for me personally, it's always been more useful to set shorter-term goals. Following pretty much the same principles you describe, though. :) Good roundup of what makes a goal more attainable!

You just added one more item to my own goal list, increase readership! I totally know when you say 'drift', damn that procrastination trait that dwells within me! :) For the great info I have subscribed to your feed and helped you get one step closer to your goal. Thanks for your great input and welcome to the RB! Ms. Freeman, Goals are definitely important if you are trying a new challenging task, in all of our cases we are stepping into a new world of building residual incomes and there is much trial and error. With goals we can keep the big picture in mind and help measure success along the way. I have tallied one more to your subscription feed and wish you the best of luck with your $1,500 dollar goal.

Super cool! Setting goals is really the only way to accomplish anything of importance. My goals for the first six months are to: Increase my RSS Subscribership and to make at minimum of $1500 from my blog and part time concierge service. There now that it is written it shall be ;) Hi first of all I love the name of your blog. Super cool!

Setting specific goals is something I now realise I've been avoiding within my passive income project. By not setting definitive goals I allow 'drift' to enter. It also becomes harder to analyse success/failure without benchmarks to measure against. With this in mind, I'm going to state here a goal I have for my project for 2010: 50 subscribers to my blog starts today end in 1 year main obstacle: generating the time to produce content that will entertain/inform people enough to want to subscribe to the blog. Thanks RB, let's see how we go! Hi, great post and I love the design of the blog – nice job!

The first step is writing down your goals, and I think its an important one as well. This helps create a more than just a thought or feeling floating around in your head. :) Best of luck to you too my friend! Des, I am glad you liked the post. Sounds like your on the right track if your acknowledging what you have accomplished in 2009 and plan to improve it in 2010. If you feel that focus is a problem then setting up a goal plan would definitely help you keep motivated, and help show you what may keep you from being focused. Thanks for stopping by the RB. Jason, I am glad I could inspire you to get a goal page for your blog. I think it helps me because I see it when I log in and reminds me of a task I could do to help earn that oh-so-important residual income that day. I like your attitude about sharing your ups and downs with readers, really ads some nice trust with readers when you can prove what worked and what didn't. I will help you out as much as possible along with the rest of my readers in 2010, I hope we can all learn from each other and all build great passive incomes in 2010. Cheers! Julie, Thanks! Get those goals down and we wish you the best of luck for 2010! Geez after this giant comment I think I need to add a reply button to my blog. :P Thanks for everyone's comments!
