In a word I’d say it was uncomfortable. I watched several people reinvent themselves by adding new products and services. Some companies closed their doors and requested that we take down their websites. Others, like myself, stayed afloat in a sea of uncertainty. No small feat for those of you in the same boat. So now it’s a brand New Year and we’re here to help you with your website needs. You already know what a powerful marketing tool it is. This year marks our 13th year in this web business – lucky 13!

Web Questions for the New Year

  1. Is my copyright displaying 2011?
  2. Does my content need updating?
  3. Am I analyzing statistics using Google Analytics?
  4. If I could change one thing about my website, what would it be?
  5. Is my website attracting my ideal clients?

As an eternal optimist, I believe that 2011 – the year of the rabbit – will be a little more comfortable. I will observe the world news, natural disasters, media and politicians with an altered awareness. I’m going to hop along with things that make me feel comfortable. Every chance I get I support small businesses. I eat at locally owned restaurants rather than the big chains. I buy art and jewelry from local artists. I tell every person who provides friendly customer service what a wonderful job they are doing and thank them for being there. I hand write thank you notes every week. I wake up every day with a sense of gratitude and curiosity. I learn something new every day. I make time for taking my dog to visit the elderly. You should see the smiles on their faces – it just makes their day! I bake pies, cookies or make soups to take to neighbors, clients and friends. I feel more comfortable already, how about you?

There are so many good quotes. My favorite quote this year has been “It’s All Good!”

Now that doesn’t mean that nothing adverse has happened. We’ve certainly had a most unsettling year that has caused concern in all parts of the world. What the quote means to me is that I’ll make the best of what happens. I’ll learn from mistakes and get through the hard times. I also like the phrase, “Learn and Move On”. Having a positive attitude and outlook on life is the way I choose to live. It sure beats getting caught up in negativity, drama and worry.

You can make things happen! If you believe and focus all your intentions on what you want to happen – it will happen. It may not be in the time frame YOU want (like right now!) but it will happen. Whatever your thoughts and dreams and goals are – continue to believe. Doubtful thoughts and negativity will delay the process.

At the end of each year, I write down the lessons I’ve learned. This helps me remember what has happened and prepare for the year ahead. I like to do this rather than making New Year’s resolutions.  I also review my Life List (things I want to do sometime in my life). It feels good to reflect, review and look forward to exciting things in the year ahead. “It’s All Good!”

With this I close and wish you ALL GOOD THINGS in the coming year.
