Vicki Moore’s New Year’s Resolution Post has inspired me to share with you MY New Year’s Resolution Laundry List … in no particular order:
2. Piss off more of the right people.
4. Become a bona fide blog coach for my company (not-mentioning-any-names).
8. Actually FOLLOW my meticulous time-blocking schedule.
1. VOTE for the next President of the United States of America. (I am just hoping that I can DECIDE who to vote for in enough time.)
7. Lose about 15 pounds without exercising or watching what I eat. I plan to THINK MYSELF THIN.
6. Meet more of my fellow bloogers (yes. I meant to say “blOOgers.) face-to-face. (First people on my list: Lani and Benn – January 2008.)
3. Buy a guitar and teach myself how to play well enough to go to open mic nights at the coffee house downtown. (When I say “well enough” I mean by my own standards. I don’t give a “fluffy bunny” about what anyone else thinks.)
10. Teach my pre-teen-soon-to-be-13-year-old son how to do the “Crank dat Soulja Boy” dance, by creating and posting an embarrassing how-to video on YouTube, and emailing all of his friends the link. (You know … I bet I could do the Electric Slide to the same song, and no one would even know the difference … But, I can’t decide which set of clothes are worse: those in Crank dat or the Electric Slide video.)
5. Create more Vlogs for real estate and related matters.
9. Take over the world. Yes. I want to take over the world.
May each of you have a very HAPPY, HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR filled with LAUGHTER!

Speaking of the electric slide, I have my catchers to dance to it every day during practice and 20 minutes before game time. Everyone thinks it’s funny to see a catcher dressed in full gear with his coach in the outfield dancing the electric slide and incorportating a few breaking moves in between.
We have had several parents from visiting teams to take pictures of us but no one has yet asked why we do it. I tell my catchers before the season they have to be about half crazy to want to be a catcher. I mean they don’t just fall out of their mother’s wombs and want to catch a 80-90 mph that is gonna hit them in the nuts and bounce off their chests you know. You gotta be about half crazy to do that!
But I have them to dance the electric slide because it helps with their foot work moving side to side to block balls and it also loosens them up a bit. But they already embarrassed themselves in front of the whole crowd so come game time, if they make a mistake, they are already embarrassed enough so they learn to shake it off pretty fast!

I am with the same company and provide coaching and training. Only a little training at KW. After having a local blog for a couple of years just about every company is interested in my training . . except Keller Williams. Go figure

Teresa – I would imagine that you would be a perfect coach. Do you want to be one? I have been hounding them for months to offer blog coaching, which they are finally interested in, but they have zero interest in blog “training” … Oh well.
I also train for our market center – tech stuff – no blogging.
Vicki – I hear Campaign Managers get half the booty.

My New’s Years resolution is to get rid of half my booty – not that kinda booty, huh?
Happy New Years All, whatever your resolution is!
