I, David J. Garcia, hereby resolve to make better use of the diverse media available to me to build relationships.
Specifically, in 2009:
- I will post regularly in my blog, with a focus on unique, relevant content. I will also make an increased effort to comment on blogs I read.
- I will further refine my RSS reading list and share the gems I find (coming soon on this site).
- I will focus on using Facebook as a tool to communicate, via messages, posts and statuses.
- I will create a LinkedIn profile and begin building my professional network.
- I will use Twitter to follow opinion leaders in fields I’m interested in and to share content in those fields.
- I will redesign my personal webpage to make it more useful.
- I will sit down and write old-fashioned letters and thank-you notes to send via snail mail.
- I will write conversational emails.
- I will pick up the phone and call people.
- I will meet a new person every month by walking up to them and striking up a conversation.
- I will connect with someone through some media each and every day for the next 365 days.
