Update and Share Your Lowest-Ranking Lens

Embarrassing to admit how long this one had been languishing and losing lensrank, but I took time this morning to update my lowest-ranking lens (highest number).

It's this one: Fisher Price Batman Trike and More Batmobiles for Kids

Now you know.  Care to do the same with yours?  Update your lowest-ranking lens and feel free to post its link in a comment below.

Merry Christmas 2010

It's late in the day, Christmas day 2010.  I hope you had a wonderful holiday with family and friends.  As for me, I'm just happy to be around again this year to celebrate the coming of our Lord.  Life is fragile and I cherish every day.

I talked a little about goals in a previous post and that subject has continued in the front of my mind.  I'm developing a plan to help mentor new lensmasters in the coming year and I'll talk more about that here in a few days.  If you're new on Squidoo or know someone who is, someone who might appreciate a little extra help getting started, be sure and check back soon to see how you or they can get involved.  Better yet, subscribe to our updates using one of the links to the right.

In the meantime, have another slice of pumpkin pie then snuggle in front of the fireplace with your sweetie and enjoy one more holiday movie.  Make the moment last a little bit longer before getting back to business.

I hope Santa brought you everything you asked for!  See you soon back on Squidoo.

September Squidoo Goals

Have you set monthly Squidoo goals yet for September?   If you're not in the habit of setting goals each month, September is the perfect time to start.  With school back in session and the holiday season approaching ever so quickly, motivation for making more lenses and increasing opportunities for income is at its peak.

If you need even more motivation, check out Kimberly's Morning Coffee post for today.  Add your September Squidoo goals to the forum and, at the end of the month if you're able to show that you met them, you could win a prize. 

Make your goals specific and measurable.  Posting them publicly will add the element of accountability that many of us need to help us work a little harder to accomplish what we might otherwise give up on when we hit the inevitable rough spot.

To demonstrate that I practice what I preach, here are my September Squidoo goals:

1. Three new lenses this month, which will make 200 total! Still need to decide on something significant for #200.
2. Update all of my seasonal lenses, which is much easier said than done. I will ashamedly admit that some are horribly out of date.
3. Approach a new charity I learned about this week to let them know about Squidoo and, if they're interested (and of course they will be) do what I can to help them get started.

So, who's next?  Don't forget to post your goals on the SquidU forum, then feel free to share them here as well. 

Now let's get busy!
