Goal of the Week #13 Update Your Website

gold starThis week’s goal: Update your website or blog. When was the last time you took a good look at your website? Is your About page still accurate? Or do you have new information and experience to add? Do you have outdated information that needs to be removed? Is your website or blog true to your personality?

Your web presence is your first impression to most new people. Ideally review it once/month … at least once season. Make sure it looks professional and up-to-date. Remember, you only have one chance to make a good first impression.

What information will you add to your website this week?

Goal of the Week #12 Recycle

Reconnect with a contact with whom you’ve lost touch. Find a way to reuse a brilliant idea that never got off the ground. It’s a great way to stretch your creativity and find a new use for an old idea!
