I love the fact that you used the word “intentions”. People’s “resolutions” seems to get lost some time around Jnauary 15th. I also like that you have learning first on the list…I love to learn. Perhaps I would add a number seven…and that would be to listen…I have learned so much by listening to people…whether they are clients or those I work with. Have a great year!

For those of us who have worked in the industry for many years know, if you don’t stay up with the latest trends, your professional skills could become “old school” and/or obsolete and this could show in your company’s bottom line results. 2010 is a great year to commit to and focus on learning about social media and networking along with positioning one’s marketing strategy to incorporate these new tools with compelling and consistent brand-building content.

It is an exciting time for those of us in marketing and sales as we can now pull customers to us utilizing social media and then combine this with traditional push marketing tactics, resulting in increased visibility, leads and sales!

1) Keep learning, it’s a matter of “personal culture.” Not everyone is life-long learner, but those who are can bring an inquisitive perspective to any business challenge.

2) It’s is difficult to tell with new technologies whether they’re going to “stick” or not. In tracking technology trends, one sees the fads and the fabulous. It takes a keen eye to tell the difference.
