• Blog Update: The Road Ahead

    Just a few things to note about the blog and it’s future which you may or may not have heard already:

    - A big “Thank You!” to those who participated in the survey. I won’t be retweeting the link anymore, but if you didn’t get a chance, feel free to take it by selecting “Personal Goal-Setting Survey” from the tab above.

    Your opinions are priceless to me :)

    - Remember, the new posting schedule will be Mondays and Thursdays starting Sept. 28th.

    - I promise to post my first video blog in a few weeks… no matter how embarrassing it feels.

    - I currently (and will continue to) reply to comments only by the end of the day… because they make me happy before I go to bed :)

    If you have something urgent to say to me and you can’t possibly wait, try email. It’s easier: cjanyasor@yahoo.com

    - Planning a logo redesign (which it really needs). I’m going for a cleaner look…

    - There will be more guest posts in the future. I haven’t done much external contribution other than commenting on, stumbling, and retweeting other blogs.

    - The “project” I’m constantly hinting at and currently working on will incorporate the results from the survey.

    - I’d like to do a 30-day experiment. Any ideas for a college student?

    - I’ll update my flickr photos the next time someone takes a picture of me.

    - Thinking of adding a weekly link post called “What I’m Reading”, which includes links to posts, articles, or books that I’ve read and found interesting, inspiring, motivating, or just plain awesome.

    That’s all I plan to do for now.

    What about you? Have plans for anything you’ve been working on? A blog? A project? Yourself? Feel free to share your thoughts!

    Take a look at some of the responses we've had to this article.

    1. Sounds like you have a great plan for the blog. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out! :)

      It all sounds fantastic John, good luck!!

      It was ironic that your survey re goal setting came out when it did… I have been trying to do some vision boards for some goals of mine and had been putting them off for fear of messing them up and getting it wrong!

      But, your blog led me to Tess’ blog which led me to Jamie Ridler’s site where she did the Wreck this Journal exercise.

      To cut a long story short, I am now doing the Wreck this Journal in a round about way to help me get over the perfectionism that is in my head, so I can do my vision boards and get on with achieving my goals! Phew…

      Yep, that’s me – totally insane, but working thru it at my own pace!

      Can’t wait to see the outcomes of all your hard work. K

    4. Hey buddy, sounds like you are really getting into the spirit of blogging.

      a few things: first, allow me to design your logo. I do design for fun and I’ll do it for free, just help me with ideas.

      second, 30 day experiments are awesome! I actually started a blog just for my 30 day experiments. http://www.brainvault.net

      I’ve done a vegetarian diet, working out 7 days a week, and my next 2 are getting a six pack (I had to press pause on that one) and study a new language.

      • @Dani Hey thanks! I hope you have some new developments going on too. Always be planning…

        @Kirsty Wow, it’s amazing you connections work and where they can take you :) ha ha I’m happy I finally got you back in your groove now. Can’t wait to see you succeed in your goals as well.

        @Ibrahim Great ideas, man. I’ll take you up on your logo design offer. I’m sending you an email right now…

    5. Hey John,
      Great Plans for the blog!!! Am inspired to make some drastic changes and additions in mine too.
      But I am all curious to see all the changes.

    6. John, sounds like a great path forward. I need to do something similar.

      At least SOME of us have a strategy! I’m looking forward to seeing how this all turns out.

      Oh… and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

      :)

    8. Hi John,

      I am looking forward to seeing your changes.

      Best of luck.

      • @Zeenat – Thanks Zeenat! One of my blogging buddies has already finished the logo for free. I’ll post his identity and my gratitude for it as soon as the logo goes up. Hope great improvements come to your blog as well.

        @Stephen – Awesome dude. Constant improvement is always a good thing :)

        @Lisis – ha ha yeah a know, right? You’ll see the changes soon….

        And thanks for the birthday cheer! You’re awesome :)

        @Bunny – No prob, Bunny. I’ll follow through with everyone of the listed aspirations.

    9. [...] pretty sure that a good number of you were skeptical and assumed that the video post was an empty promise, right? I know, at least for most people, that recording video is kind of scary. There are a lot of factors [...]
