Set Priorities in Direction of Goals

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008


After much thought, I’ve decided to reinvent my mission statement.  The CAN page has changed and you’ll find the following(below) if you go there.

From the revised CAN page:

It has been said: “If you aim at nothing, you will surely hit it.”

That’s why I rate my own blogs monthly.

It’s also been said that if you do the right thing consistently, then the right things will happen to you.

I’m listing my mission statement here so you will better understand my what I do.  It is:

To create and innovate value for others.

These are my monthly “CAN” goals defined:

C- Circulation is measured by the number of posts and guestblogs I do each month.
A - Association is commenting I do on other blogs.
N - “Nods” are my Blog Safaris, or “link love” posts.

Each month I set new goals and record the results publicly.

Each category gets a percentage score then I add them together and divide by 300 to get the final rating.

I assign my blog a monthly rank value according to this scale:

  • 90-100%=my self-rating
  • 75-89%= my self-rating
  • 51-74%= my self-rating
  • 30-50%= my self-rating
  • 11-30%= my self-rating
  • 0-10%= my self-rating

Current and past monthly CAN. updates can be found here. I enjoy and welcome your comments on this topic.  Setting goals and achieving them must feel better than the best colon cleanser ;)
