Don’t be afraid to reschedule a scheduled interview. Things happen with technology that sometimes are beyond our control. Perfect example, I had a podcast interview scheduled for yesterday but for some unknown reason I couldn’t log into the website that I normally use to do my interviews. I had no choice but to reschedule that interview. When you have to reschedule like that be sure to get in touch with your guest so that they don’t try to call in anyway.

Since Thursday is my day to write about goal setting, I decided to use Thursdays to share some of my goals with my blogging community. So here goes. One of my goals for 2009 is to have 2000 twitter associates by May. Now I know what you’re going to say, “But twitter isn’t about numbers, it’s about connecting.” I’m keenly aware of that. I also know that the more people I can connect with, the more people I’m able to help. So that’s one of my goals for 2009. I’ll let you guys know how I’m doing. Also, if you’d like to follow me, you can do so by clicking on the word twitter in this post.

I know it’s tempting to just kick back and relax this holiday season. Don’t do it. Be sure to stay in touch with the people you’re networking with. Send them holiday greetings by email. Drop by their site and wish them Happy Holidays. Pick up the phone and call your friends to wish them Happy Holidays. Just do something to stay connected during this busy time of year.

I’m happy to say that I found a plugin to make your blogroll appear on a separate page. I was looking for a way to do this so that there would be less stuff on my sidebar. The link for this plugin is found here: http://www.websitehostingiq.net/blogroll-page-plugin/
I think it only works on blogs that are 2.0 or later. Enjoy this plugin. I think it’s pretty cool.

When I was at Matt Bacak‘s Marketing Madness event a few weeks ago, I had the privilege of meeting Rhonda Duffy, a local Real Estate agent who also hosts her own radio show. There was a special session for women where we participated in a spoon bending activity. Rhonda explained that we were supposed to pick out a spoon by “talking to the spoon and asking if the spoon would bend for us”. Once we picked out our spoon we were supposed to return to the circle and bend the spoon. I guess my ADD was kicking in pretty strong that day because I had already bent my spoon while she was talking. Oops.

So I went and got another spoon. I waited until the proper time this time around and bent the second spoon. Then she asked us to get another one. I’m thinking, “Well I’ve already bent two spoons so I should be able to sit down, right?” but being the good sport that I am, I got a fork this time and proceeded to bend that one too.

Moral of this story: You can do whatever you put your mind to if you have proper coaching and surround yourself with positive energy.
