A while back, Seth Godin wrote a great post listing the things he shipped in 2010. Taking some inspiration from his post, I am also listing the things I shipped this past year.
I’m not a big fan of getting all reflective, goal-hungry, and sentimental when a new year rolls over (I prefer a more constantly-flowing kaizen approach) but this my one year-end indulgence. As Seth said, it doesn’t matter whether these things were a hit or not (though thankfully they were all successful!), just that I shipped them. Here is my list.
- Delivered two presentations at the CMS Expo in Chicago
- Launched a highly successful and innovative QR code scavenger hunt for the Massage Therapy Foundation
- Donated over $2,000 in money and services to worthy non-profits
- Won the “Supplier of the Year” STAR Award from ISAE
- Delivered presentations at national conferences from Massachusetts to California
- Concepted, organized, and marketed a successful first-ever ROWE Bootcamp
- Launched the ROWE Online Training Community
- Launched the Massage Learning Network – an e-learning community for massage therapists
- Ran a highly-successful B2B Power Team meeting for my BNI Chapter
- Completed the Thrive Progam from Reachmore
- Won three Addys at the 2011 Addy Awards
- Registered SpinWeb as an an official Authorize.Net reseller
- Became a BNI Training Ambassador and launched the BNI Central Indiana Advanced Business Training program
- Moved SpinWeb to a great new office
Most of these things were done with help from my outstanding team at SpinWeb. A huge thank you goes out to those who contributed and assisted.
I enjoyed this exercise and it helped me see 2011 with a new perspective. It also helped me see what things I wanted to ship but didn’t, which makes for a some nice goals for 2012.
What did you ship in 2011? I would love to hear via your comments below.
