YOUR 2012 - In ONE Sentence

[AdamMaxum]

In 2012, I will launch a successful online business and/or create a passive income stream.

I just wanted to come back to this thread and update my 2012 progress so far. I have gone from around 2k a month to over 10k a month by running a successful online business. I have outsourced almost everything already, and I am free to travel and do as I please since it's completely based online. My next goal is to increase this amount to 20k+ a month, and the possibilities of doing just that are very promising.

Thank you MJ and the fastlane for reaffirming my long held belief that this time in my life has always been possible. Good luck to every other member of this forum who is taking steps to achieve their 2012 goals.

Wow, congrats Adam! Is this with the blogpros.com website?

 

[AdamMaxum]

cparsons - no, it's a crazy story I'll share at some point.

Bloggpros never took off for a variety of reasons. One of them being that I discovered people had already been using the idea in the internet marketing community, except they had basically perfected it with drip feeding blog posts throughout the year. etc.etc. I achieved a couple sales, but my focus took a turn when an opportunity fell into my lap.

Re-write my book, self-publish it, help others by selling and speaking about it and pay off ALL my non-producing debts.

In 2012 after finishing my studies, I'll find a job with a good pay to sustain my family's needs and for myself as well.

That might be a good idea. Business is a good start to succeed. But I don't think students will have enough fund for that.

I read every post so far. Thank you all for your contributions. I think I fall somewhere in the middle having just gone all out the last three years and fallen on my face.

My goal for 2012: Transition my mindset from failure to success by learning from every mistake I have made and the place of humility I have found myself by specifically by to understand how to clearly identify a need and market and target that market with a product that meets peoples needs and provides them unequivocally with something that is of greater value than they exchange for it while being equally profitable to me as the presenter.

Good luck all. I hope to meet you on the journey.

Wish me luck guys, I'm excited but nervous as hell about this...

Reality check --- 2012 is 1/4th over.

How is your implementation coming along? Key milestones reached? Stalled?

Updates please.

I have greatly expanded our sku count, and pressed into some new industries. I broke my cardinal rule of not wanting to own development, and have invested in a proprietary tool for a product we will launch in June 2012. I will post that sweet new concept here in June. I have refocused a bit from my initial post of wanting retail distribution, primarily because B2C marketplace is allowing us to capture 100% of the margin without sharing it with retailers. I do have a few retail deals pending, but am going slowly so as to not make any mistakes.

My passive income for 2012 will exceed what I need to replace all of my active income. That, to me, equals freedom.

On an unrelated note, I just hired a web design company in India through eLance to build me a kick a$$ web site in a brand new services industry that I am creating from scratch. That site should be launched within 90 days, and I will update when it goes live. It's a service that every single person reading this forum could use... for free.

I hope 2012 is kicking a$$ for you. Please update against your original goal threads. Blaze your own path!

Hey Reno,

I just wanted to reply to your post and wish you the VERY best of luck. To tell you to keep the positive attitude and keep the down moments to a minimum. Surround yourself with good, honest people with integrity.

Get rid of anyone who is a negative influence no matter how close they are to you. OR if you feel strong enough show them through your actions how a positive person acts.

Take care and please keep posting and let us all know how things are going. There are a TON of smart people here to help however they can.

In 2012 I will learn my industry inside and out while developing the skills necessary for success.

ORIGINAL: In 2012 we will continue to refine and build our Inn business, focusing specifically on developing a management-based infrastructure, regular training of new and existing staff, and we'll take a long, hard look at expenses, ROI, and efficiency.

UPDATE: April 26:

Refine and build -- check. Revenues up 15% over last year. For perspective, we've already made in 4 month (Jan-April, slow months) what we did our first full year in business (ALL of 2004).

Focusing on building a mgt-based infrastructure- not yet. See next (training of staff)

Regular training of new and existing staff-- HUGE improvements here. Taking lots of my time, but SO worth it.

Take a long, hard look at expenses, ROI, and efficiency. -- Still in process. Hard to measure things you can't see. Working on noticing things we take for granted.

RESULTS: So far, so good: On track for over $2,000,000.00 in sales.

In 2012, I will expand my company's brand to 40 models, and secure physical retail store distribution in all 50 of the United States.

Hope you are all doing well as you blaze your own path. Post an update if you are making progress towards your 2012 objectives.
