I hate New Year’s resolutions. The very idea of “resolving” to do this or to stop doing that.. well it kinda bugs me. And there’s a ton of data out there to support my belief that resolutions just don’t work. We set unrealistic goals and / or limitations to our daily lives that, quite frankly, make us cranky by Jan 8. Am I right?

“My New Year’s Resolution List usually starts with the desire to lose between ten and three thousand pounds.”
   ~ Nia Vardalos

It’s true that the promise of a new year, a clean slate, is encouraging, so I am not dismissing the idea entirely. Yes, I want to do better. Be more successful. Be thinner. Drink less wine. I have intent. I just don’t want the pressure that goes with the formal resolution list. Instead, I’ve decided to map out a few of those intentions. A plan, of sorts, for the things I really would like to accomplish in the next 360-ish days–and maybe a few things I need to stop doing.

Here are a few online marketing intentions you can map out in a fresh notebook this year for your business. 

Stop marketing and start engaging.
