Happy New Year!

Like most other people, I have also made several new resolutions for the New Year. One of them is to be more active on social media, particularly posting every day. However, instead of just posting random stuff every day, I’ve decided to be more specific.

Each day, I’m going to pick a word and write about what that word means to me in relation to myself, business, or life in general. In the spirit of making (and keeping) New Year’s resolutions, today’s word is commitment.

I don’t see any point in making New Year’s resolutions unless you’re truly committed to keeping them. And for me, making a commitment means making a promise. Not to try, but to DO. No excuses!

Yes, things come up. But making a commitment means preparing contingencies and taking steps to prepare for and alleviate those “things” that come up.

Every time you use something as an excuse for breaking a commitment, it becomes easier and easier to find excuses in the future. I fell into that trap in my earlier years, but luckily, I’ve been able to reverse myself.

What does "commitment" mean to you as a business owner/webmaster?

Making a commitment is important. Just as important is a plan. Commit to the plan which helps gives structure.

The last New Year resolution I made was in 1968:

"No more New Year resolutions!"

I have yet to fail that resolution these many years later.

Like a Wiki?

I started one of these a few weeks ago and now have 43 indepth articles on various topics related to my field. When I think of a new topic I add it to a list to catch up when I run out of chores. Sometimes a new article sparks offshoots. They are all interlinked like Wikipedia. Now getting referrals from all of the top search engines.

I don't do new years resolutions.

Not saying I don't create commitments because I do.

I just don't begin them on 01/01/2025
