Blog Family,

Last week I made a post about moving on and dropping goal setting Sundays on my blog. Everything was cool and I continued to move along through my week until it happened. And it happened on Twitter of all places.

It was in the afternoon when I notice it. I was focused and working towards wrapping up some January goals and getting things done. I finished something that I had been working on for about two years. The crazy thing is that it shouldn’t have taken two months. I just wouldn’t complete the project. Well I did, on Saturday and let me tell you it felt great.

Before finishing, I took one last chance to procrastinate on the project by slipping over to Twitter to do a little networking and see what is happening. I began checking my @ Replies when there it was. A reply about Goal setting Sundays being discontinued on my blog.

“@thinktaylor You are letting the world down by discontinuing the tradition.” said @dannytv

Danny is good for holding me accountable to things that I say I want for myself. Believe it or not, you really need people like this in your life because they will not allow you to short change yourself. Danny is definitely one of these people.

It’s funny because I really love the accountability of the goal setting and what it does for my performance. I just think it needs to be more flexible, thus it will be. OOoooppss, I guess I letting the secret out of the bag. Yes, I am going to bring it back, but in a different form.

ACCOUNTABILITY SUNDAYS

This is all about accountability. Let’s face it, most people are in need of a kick in the butt to get where we claim we want to go. I am not different. Some days we are slower to roll out the bed, put on the suit, and attend a meeting, conference, or training, but we must. 

We must continue to strive and be the best that we can and having someone to be accountable to can be the catalisty to jumpstart you each week. Accountability Sunday is going to be that for me.

The difference is I will not be sharing as much of my to do list. Instead I will be focusing on the higher priority needs and asking you to hold me accountable to these goals. I know I tend to perform better when I am being held accountable. I think we all do.

PARTICIPATION

That is why  I asked that if you read these and at least mentally hold me accountable for these goals, then I am asking that you participate. Write your biggest weekly goals down on a sheet of paper. At the end of week, see if you hit those goals. If so great, do it again. If not, do it again and this time hit those goals. If you are feeling it, share  your accountability list in the comment section and I will hold you accountable as well.

Accoutability Goal of the Week: 50 Niche Articles

This may seem a bit insane to you, but I am going for it. I will write 50 articles for my niche blogs this week. No particular weight per blog, just  50 total. I have 9 niche blogs that I am working or with others at various times. And lately, I have really been focusing on building my niche sites. This is one of the reasons I haven’t been  posting around here very much. I have been business working in the Blogosphere.

Anyway, I want as much content on these sites as possible and I want to pay anyone to do it until I am earning enough of a positive, passive cashflow. That is coming soon enough.

Still 50 might challenge me this week, but it has to get done. I want those articles moving their way to the top of the search engines. The sooner they start their ascension, the better. Besides, I remember days in college not sleeping going to football practice early in the morning, classes, weightlifting, then cramming all day and night for an exam the next morning. I think I can handle writing a few articles.

It basically comes down to how bad do you want it. Let’s be real, Blog Family, don’t all of your goals come down to how bad you really want it? When you strip away all the insecurities and ill thoughts people have on a daily basis, most people know that they can do anything they put their minds to because they are that talented. Isn’t that how you feel?

The difference is how bad do you want it. Now, I know I want it pretty bad and have been through some lows and high points in my life. Writing 50 articles is not a real hurdle to success people, let me tell you. If that is all I have to do, in addition to understanding a few things about search engine optimization and keyword research, is write articles, then this is going to happen. I know that I want it more than just writing some articles. I can pound them out. 

Enough talking/typing, let me get to work on these articles now…..after I see what is happening on Twitter.

Let’s get it crack’in, Blog Family!

First in the Mind, then in Reality!
