Happy Birthday Success Circuit

Posted by Shane Hudson On January - 1 - 2010

And Happy New Year to you!

Happy Birthday

It has been an eventful year, I gave an overview of the year yesterday and so today I would like to have a look back to the first post and see what we have all achieved and what we have not.

I have many plans for this website but I shall only give you the short term goals for now.

  • At least one interview a week
  • Daily or bi-daily posts
  • Loyal commenters
  • Emails from readers, perhaps success stories?
  • As you may of noticed, I do not like to follow trends. Unlike many people’s goals I do not have any targets for RSS readers or traffic, although of course the more the merrier.

Hmm… not all of those goals were reached were they?! One interview a week, no but a fair amount of good motivational interviews. Daily or bi-daily, no but there was very little filler. Loyal Commenters, yes! Success Circuit has some amazing commenters that I owe much to! Emails from readers… yes, I get a lot of emails from people that have read Success Circuit and I love it. To recieve an email from a reader is so very motivational and it is a great way to get to know people. In fact, not only do I recieve an email but one amazing person (the great Paul Sabaj) sent me a whole package (across sea!) of motivational books including some by Mark Victor Hansen which have possibly inspired me to write my own book.

So that is enough about the past, lets have a look through the next year. I feel good great about this year, so lets hope that it stays that way. Actually… no… lets MAKE it that way!

What do you want to see from Success Circuit and yourself this year? My goals include:

  • Best quality posts only – I am really restricting myself this year, absoloute no filler content this year!
  • More regular posts – I am not promising daily or bi daily like I did last year, especially as I refuse to write any filler, but very good posts on a regular basis.
  • Guest posts – I love guest posters as it helps them with their website, especially if it is just getting off the ground, as well as providing something different for you to read (and of course give me more time to work on other posts to keep the regularity going).
  • Do more guest posting elsewhere – Well I cannot ask for guest posts without writing some for other people can I?!
  • Write a book – This is not for definite yet but it is something I would love to do, especially about British Young Entrepreneurs… so if you know any, get them to contact me!
  • More people to read Success Circuit – I did not want to set a goal of 10k visitors or RSS readers or any other statistic last year and nor do I today. However, I want more people to read Sucess Circuit, benefit from it and to help it benefit others. Remember, through your comments and even perhaps guest posts, you are able to help so many people… surely the more the better? So, invite your friends and family, tweet, facebook, stumble, digg… lets make 2010 a year to remember!

What do you have planned for the next year? Any new years resoloutions? Goals? Let us know!

    Having a good plan for the up and coming year is always the best way to get started. Ask ten people what their plans are for the year let alone the future and only two will have any idea. There's a saying that goes (those without a vision shall perish ) and it comes from the bible. All that matters is weather you care enough to start from where you are at and do some thing every day towards your goals and dreams. You look to be well on your way and best of luck for the future. Remember Mavericks make their own luck. Cheers

  6. ShaneHudson says:

    Thanks Jean, this is actually my first site to achieve the first year so I am very proud of it!

  7. ShaneHudson says:

    I completely agree that very few people plan enough, if anything. However, one thing Gary Vaynerchuk mentioned (cannot remember when, possibly the french conference?) was that everybody is taught to write like a 3 year plan even though things (especially technology) are changing weekly let alone yearly! So it is more important to plan for short term than long term. If you plan short then your long term goals should easilly be achieved and surpassed.

  8. Paul Sabaj says:

    I would agree with your comment. The key is to have like you said the short and long term goals and the key is to write them down and keep them in front of you every day. I think the next big thing is ACTION and that's where 90 percent of the people fail. They spend more time planning a holiday than they do their life. While I will agree it is hard to know some times where you want to be at a young age you seem to have yourself at least pointed to where you want to go. I started out to learn computors years ago and spent a career as a firefighter. I tried the first job and found my calling. Now time to work on the second calling. Cheers

    Till then,

    Jean
