<- I like this graphic. I ran across it on Facebook earlier this week and it gave me pause to think for a moment.

2012 was a crazy year for me, full of unexpected curveballs and ridiculous hurdles. I wasn't alone. Many of my peers and friends had a challenging year too.

Maybe you did as well?

Speaking of Facebook, earlier this week we were discussing one thing you would like to change or do differently in your business this year...

Interestingly, and I think this is the first time ever, my goals have not changed. I'm still on track, working on the goals & projects I laid out this time last year...

Still, there are some things I would like to differently in my business, which is what prompted the discussion on Facebook. (You should join us there on my Page if you haven't already. )

One of the things I'm implementing is more structure to my work routine, which I started around the middle of last year - and I'm still in the process of getting the "flow" just right. I mentioned a bit about that in my recent post on micro-tasking.

I'd be curious to hear what your business goals are for 2013 and/or what you would most like to change or do differently in your business this year?

Or if you just have questions, feel free to ask those in the comment section below too. What do you feel is holding you back from success with your online business, or what do you most need help with in order to meet your goals?

I'd be happy to answer some of your questions in future posts & videos.

Let the discussion begin! I look forward to hearing your thoughts...

Best,

p.s. If you aren't quite sure what you should be doing in your business, or how to get started and/or get to the next level, you should join us in my Private Brainstorming Group and let me help you make this your best year yet!

I should be on my flight to Vegas and headed to the BlogWorld event as I'm writing this...

Unfortunately, I came down with the flu. And a nasty flu it is! There's no way I can fly in this condition, and of course... I'm contagious.

If you're not attending BlogWorld either, for whatever reason, I have two things that will definitely perk your interest!

First, you can still get a Virtual Ticket to the entire event, and listen in to ALL of the sessions from home - at your leisure.

The Virtual Ticket includes online access to the conference session recording library, MP3 audio recordings, and MP4 audio and slide recordings.

This is a great way to attend the event on your own schedule, and still get access to all the top-notch sessions and content! But there's something else you'll love too...

The team at New Media Expo / BlogWorld recently launched NMX University, which is an online portal you can join for free.

Once you register, you'll get access to tons of free content - from ebooks to recorded sessions and videos from past events.

While you won't get all of the sessions from the current BlogWorld event like you do with the Virtual Event Ticket, there are some great how-to guides and topical sessions you really don't want to miss. Especially for free.

When you sign up and first log in, today's free download is a Visual eBook titled "The New Media Rat Pack: 52 Tips on Content and Community From the Top New Media Experts" which is filled with tips from 52 of the speakers presenting on topics including: blogging, branding, content marketing, social media, podcasting, and video.

Definitely join NMX University for free, and enjoy all the great content there.

And if you want the current content, from the live event that is happening in Vegas now, grab yourself a Virtual Ticket and enjoy it from home!

Best,
