New Year's Prediction: Pittsburgh!

What New Year resolutions did you make and are you implementing
any of them? I have been cleaning my inbox of all those
newsletters shouting the same, tired and just plain dumb emails.

Because TSG has been wandering for about 6 months, I've decided
to add something new to the mix that's planned for long term.

Ready for some business info? Good, let's get to it.

First up: Izea Blog. If you got wind of this through the 30DC,
then I have some bad news. As of February 1st, Zookoda will be
no more. Ted Murphy posted this news on Friday Zookoda On Ice.
If you've been using it to manage your list go find out how they
are offering to help you move things.

Recession got you running scared of your losing your internet
income? Need to start thinking of how adding Offline marketing
efforts to your Plan B?

Here's a quick, down and dirty guide from Ken Evoy that
should help you out. Go Big Locally

It will seem really basic and sooo '80's for you hard-core
internet marketers, but everybody needs to re-visit the basics
when the business as usual stops working.

Finally - 2009 Superbowl!!! Go Steelers - Take That Bird Home!!!
Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, will host Super Bowl XLIII between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals.

Nothing against Arizona, they have a great team - they made it to
the Big One! But when it comes to rooting for the home team,
it's Pittsburgh All The Way!

That's it for today and I leave you with this -

Solo Entrepreneur - 2009 Backup Plan

No, I didn't forget there is a blog out here with my name on it....I did the #1 thing I've warned every one of you to do often - Back Up Your Hard Drive! I don't care how many gigs you have, when that sucker goes down - you'll be growling at your nearest and dearest.

How's 2009 treating you so far?
If you're still reading the newspapers, it seems the beginning is 'iffy'...if this happens, then that will happen but the good news is 'if this doesn't happen then that over there won't happen!'. Does any of this sound like a rant coming on...it is.

Where ever you find yourself beginning this new year, sit down and figure out if it's really the direction you want to go. There's too many opinions by 'unreliable sources' who make it their business to tell you what they think you want to hear. In Vegas, they call it 'the Pit Boss'! He/she will smile and tell you just to hang in there, it will get better...while you're watching your mortgage payment, food budget and ticket home get sucked into a slot machine. Get real.

If your goal for your business is to make an extra $20,000 this year, how you're going to make that happen is your focus. There will be things outside your control, always has been and always will be. Even Einstein had to deal with political upheaval and Nelson Mandela spent 20 years attempting to talk sense to idiots...it happens. But it didn't stop them making plans and completing the tasks they set out to accomplish.

That's it for today and I leave you with this:
