Two years ago I did this type of post, last year too. Instead of resolutions, I set these goals:
2009 Goals
- Build Startup Weekend to have more than 50 weekends this year
- Partner Startup Weekend with other community focused organizations, grow something bigger
- Kick ass with TechStars (applications open up soon, are you applying?)
- Get back into developing
- Get outside (snowboard, backpack)
- Train for some epic physical events (Triple bypass, Triathlon)
- Get an audio piece published on a national radio show
- Volunteer more
- Launch a web app where entropy can exist
- Travel to a few new countries
- Experiment more with photography
- Learn to love video
- Hit 1,000,000 unique viewers across my projects
I didn’t really do:
- Get back into developing
- Get an audio piece published on a national radio show
Not bad at all.
In 2009 I traveled 87,358 mi to 9 countries. I help place 22 people in jobs. I helped build Ignite Boulder into Colorado’s largest tech event. I did a Half Ironman. I did the NYC marathon. I did the Triple Bypass. I helped build TechStars up.
In Twenty Ten (2010) I will:
- Get back into developing (looks like rails will be the language of choice)
- Get an audio piece published on a national radio show (I will be calling in all connections on this one, perhaps detail how I listened to every single Grateful Dead live show via cassette tape).
- Finish a Ironman
- Travel to Hawaii
- Explore the American Southwest, especially The Maze in the Canyonlands
- Place 20 people into jobs
- More of a 3 year goal: employ people
- Be more honest about personal developments on this humble blog
- Stop focusing on startups and actually date
- Train with data (gps, watch, get a coach)
- Try out CrossFit
- Follow up with contacts
- Develop online TechStars community
- Drink a cup of tea a day
- Hike a few 14,000 ft peaks
- Perform music (vague I know, but something I am scared of)
- Complete “Long Longs” a human powered assent of Longs Peak (14,259f ft) from Boulder in a day.
Happy new year to all! Be safe and spend time with great people.
