It is now the first day of 2009, almost 8 in the morning where I live, the fog outside is so thick I can’t find my car to take the dog to the park. (no it is not a hangover, I have not had a drink in over 14 years)

I have decided this year that I am not going to make any resolutions, they never work anyway. What I have decided to do is to look at my life, try to identify my downfalls and work on them. In other words it is time to remember the words that got me sober so many years ago. They were “Replace Fear With Faith”. It is my inner feeling that when I fear an outcome that “might” happen I change direction and try to find the simpler easier way.  I need to learn again to replace my fear with faith in my higher power and that no matter what I “think” might happen my higher power will always be at my side to help me and support me.

So for 2009 I look forward to a great year, a year of change, and year in which goals I have set will be achieved. Good Bye 2008, you were not my best year, but not my worst either.

So one of my goals, is to write a new blog entry everyday. And guess what, this is the first on written on January 1st 2009. ANd here is what I have done before 8 am so far to achieve the goals I have set.

I have gone to my Meet-Up page and scheduled to Meet-Ups for the Santa Barbara Area. One on Podcasting and one on List Building. I have zeroed out my e-mail and shut down the e-mail program until this afternoon so it will not distract me. And I have written this post. Not to mention I have fed the 2 cats, Tinker and Pebbles, and Maxwell our new dog. Pretty productive.

Here is what I plan on working on today.

I am going to study more at Traffic Geyser on how to promote my online business with video.

I am going to finish my new product called Business in a Weekend and start building the promo.

And I am going to make a new post for all my active blogs besides this one.

Okay, goals for today set. Time to publish, get up and stretch and get to work.

Have a great day and a great 2009.

David
