Your Brand Radio 2009!!!

[David Sandusky]

Post your goals for the year in this thread. Those who were live for the first Your Brand Radio participated in a fun event! They also saw the new format for Your Brand Radio including a studio format and technology. We did have problems with the system that hurt the quality of the podcast - there will not be a podcast or archive of this show.

After a few weeks off for the holidays, Mark Crowley, David Sandusky and our regular listeners are eager to get back to Your Brand Radio! We did not rest, however. During our time away, we moved Your Brand Radio to Blog Talk Radio as part of the WebNet channel.

Why? we needed a better platform for callers and instant messaging during live shows. That is not all. We are adding a microphone station to our internet radio studio at Espressole Cafe. All in favor of catering to our growing in person and live listener base. The Your Brand Radio facebook page as well as podcast and discussion opportunity on this forum remains the same. We also added Your Brand Radio to twitter #ybr

As we utilize the new system for Your Brand Radio, we want to hear from you before during and after our first show of 2009! On January 8th at 4:00 MTN, we will go live and discuss the year ahead. We want to get as many of your 2009 goals/resolutions on the show as possible! Post yours here any time, call (Call-in Number: (646) 716-5320) or instant message the show when we are live. Those LIVE with us in person can share yours then! I can't wait! We will share some ideas on getting these goals done and will check in with you through the year to see how you are doing. What a DEAL! Who is first?

While we are at it...you might add to the thread about personal mission and vision (What is your Vision?).

Great pictures and presence once again by Neil McKenzie! See the album via our facebook page

I will go first, but that does not count
For Your Brand Radio, I will look back at the end of 2009 and be thrilled we went from a hundred or two listeners per show to thousands and you come back because your personal brand benefits on and offline.

Thanks for the tweet this morning Dave... Can't wait to see what happends this year! We might stop by durring the National Western Stock Show depending on how busy it gets. May be you can do a Stock Show addition of the show.

Well... ranchwabble.com is slowly getting under way.

1. We need to get people to start using it
2. We need to get funding for the site

It's going to be a great year for ranchwabble.com

Ken's goals are to continue to spread a little sunshine wherever I go. We will be launching a series of Destination Nights in 2009 including Germany, Cruising and Ireland in the first quarter of the year. Additionally we will be launching a radio show with the help of Mark Crowley and David Sandusky that will focus on fun and facts. Travel is an adventure not a commodity.

David,

In 2005, I was one of your original clients. You helped me formulate my personal Vision and Mission Statements.

2010 Vision
I have become a sought after speaker, author and creator of systems that help people discover the business aspects of their decisions prior to considering the solutions (products, processes and organizational changes)

Mission
I provide structure and mentoring to help people in various work environments learn how to improve the performance of their systems. I help them discover the business aspects and requirements, to define objectives, consider alternatives and then implement improvements that work in their environments.

Current Status
I am making excellent progress on both. I have done some speaking and have successfully been recognized as a facilitator and consultant in the world of Change Management. I have worked for many Fortune 500 companies, as well as smaller businesses, all over the world and it is indeed time to focus on my goals for 2009, to reach my 2010 Vision.

2009 Goals
My personal goals for the next year include:
• Establish myself as a recognized speaker with two audiences, outside of my client base in 2009
• Provide solid, measurable improvements to at least one client in the Fortune 500 that can be leveraged for marketing purposes during 2009
• Develop at least five Masters in Managed Change™ through my consulting, mentoring and coaching in the next 12 months
• Develop recognizable Intellectual Property (Body of Knowledge) by blending methodologies, developing a new model, or improved teaching or applying the current models of Change Management over the next twelve months.

OK, I’ll go next.

I am honored to participate on Your Brand Radio this Thursday 1/8 to talk about my goals (which aren't really that interesting) and to see why this CFO guy breaks the mold for what one might call a "normal" CFO, especially as it pertains to social media and networking.


My overall 2009 goals are simple ( I have more specific goals, but these are the the high level ones:
Giving, Networking, Confidence

1. Giving – I follow the principles of “The Go-Giver”. I give more presentations and speaking engagements to share my knowledge and experience so others can learn. I give results to my clients with each and every encounter.

2. Networking – I am maintaining and building relationships that are satisfying, nurturing, honest and work all the time. I am attending more selective social/networking events. I am becoming more involved with social media and online networking. I am an improved networker - see #1.

3. Confidence – I have great confidence to help people with any business and financial problems and improvements. My emotional intelligence grows every day.

See you Thursday!

I'm in!
I would like to see YourBrandRadio put Greenwood Village (and the Chamber) firmly on the map! In 2009 we could all work together at inviting new guests and growing the attendance at each week's broadcast. I believe that through the use of Social Media we can ignite the fuse to explode a cause such as Project Cure and get them the funding that they desperately need to ship those containers full of medical supplies.
Another thought would be for all of us that are involved get together in the FaceBook Fan Page and then meet together "offline" and see how we might be able to help promote each others businesses and thus attract new followers for the show.

2008 was a very challenging year for me. I've had an uphill battle against so-called "enemies" throughout the year, I was even contemplating a lawsuit for that reason. But the website in question is now considered "dead" thanks to what I did. Its smart for my business; many consider it stealing, but if you think strategicly, and if you think this way "show them how it feels to be sabotaged."

You do it. So, I found a golden opportunity. A really big pot of gold. That same website in question posted his forum database, I took the database, and installed it on my server for a short amount of time; everyone didn't like it. But what I didn't like more was their actions, so I used it AGAINST them. I put a mirror up and showed a beaming light right back at them. They all got angry and just left the website all alone.

Now, I'm happy. I've struggled through many odds throughout the year. I reclaimed a few pages that tarnished my reputation. And now, I'm starting 2009 with my face washed!

This was the defining moment in my life, because this sounds too much like a legend. I opened pandora's box! I raise my fist and I say la viva revolution!

Now, I will begin this year with small expectation.

This year will see me investing more and more money into my website to the point of receiving new users, new visits, new uniques, and a new era will be held. I will start doing it late this month or early next month. I wine tasted the market last month and I'm seeing visits climbing to new records.

Now, with my face washed. What will I do this year.

What are my goals this year?

- Become one of the biggest web sensation since forums started exploding like crazy.

- Be a very well known person in the gaming industry to the point of being the next "Major Nelson." Thus, brand expansion. Brand explosion. Brand recognition. Baby!

- Once the brand is there, expand to new avenues; become the next entertainment conglomerate. You see, you gotta start with one part then expand into other realms. I already have a few names up my sleeves that is ready to be implemented with other gaming websites are a part of my network right now. So, planning is already there. Just need to execute them.

But to execute them, I need a fanbase first.

- Get a decent job by the end of Spring. But I have to be "someone" first before taking that leap.

- Start a business this year.

My goals for Indie Arsenal in 2009:

1. Increase membership to 500+ members

2. Launch Indie Arsenal's first community outreach program to help at-risk youth with creative and artistic educational programs.

3. Launch Indie Arsenal's webinar and educational workshop series.

4. Help my fellow entrepreneurs, friends and associates grow their businesses!

At home continue to support each other and community.

2008 was a great year for JS Design and 2009 looks to be even better with the number of clients and sales. My next challenge for 2009 is have the JS Design boxed website and retail model launched. By the end of the year I plan to have a following on my new blog specific to "Do it Yourself Creative Ideas" (JS Design Boxed site and blog to be announced soon).

I will also be producing various products for babies, gifts, etc. which will be sold and showcased on Etsy (a place to buy and sell things which are all handmade).

Probably most important is working closely with my business partner and securing part time employees to help achieve these goals.
