HAPPY NEW YEAR / 5 THINGS I WOULD LOVE TO DO IN 2017

hello-january-rawmultimedia

Wow, it’s 2017.  Are you pumped?  I am.  Not too sure why, it’s like we do this same speech every year, but either way…Let’s get the year rolling. 🙂

The motto for this year for me is:  “Do More, Waste Less…

Also, I am not too sure what this year will bring or big goals I want to achieve as yet, but for now… Here are 5 Things I Would Love To Do This Year.

  • Host a Monthly Meetup Event (Online & Offline)
  • Grow My Consulting Business / Clientele bigger…
  • Post (2) Post A Day for the entire year…. A photo post, and writing post (I never got to do one post a day for an entire year, so since I failed that, I figure why not up the ante.  If I beat this goal, technically I beat my original goal I failed at.) Hmmm
  • Write great articles / Create great videos all year about Movies, Travel, Art, Lifestyle, People, Inspiration.
  • Talk to more people…Write more…Listen more…Travel more…Train harder…Learn more…Be bolder…Live more confidently.

BONUS: Follow all other years of great principles you had created and continued…they all worked well, do change what works well.

CHALLENGE OF THE YEAR:

Release a New Photography Gallery every month of the year & a Print version… (12)
Create a Weekly Series… (52)

QUESTION: What are your plans for 2017?

Wish you all a good year…

Thanks for reading,
Rik.

A Very Long Road

The road I now currently walk has quite some distance on it.  Couple turns and twist, especially a great deal of checkpoints I don’t want to miss.  I kiss my old ways goodbye for this road rules need to be broken so that I can flap my wings and fly.  For if I take flight tbere is no longer a road I must follow, for the sky is limit and I need mostly strength to stay above ground.

I made it to my year’s goal of reaching 50,000 views on my blog. I am so super stoked. I have been writing and posting everyday and felt so great re-entering the blogging world as I wasn’t blogging like I planned to when I started my blog here on wordpress. What’s crazy for me though is my growth in views and how much smoother I was finding my blogging voice and creative writing style. Technically I reached 50,000 views on August 1st, 2011 and went on to reach 60,000 views just 10k more within just 18 more days thanks to posting correctly and tagging well. I am so proud of myself and very much excited to continue down the road of posting everyday in the year to complete my next big goal yet of posting 365 days of the year.

I don’t think I would of reached this goal on any other blog platform than wordpress and with the great support and features they offer. I am a blogger forever and #teamwordpress for life. 🙂

I do hope to meet other bloggers and have meetups and great relationships as time goes on. I want to also thank everyone who ever swung by my blog or said hi, especially my subscribers (aka friends), it is because of you that keeps me motivated and that I contributing to a community and a way of life.
