A Year From Now BlogThe A Year From Now blog offers tools, resources, and updates for our success cooperative. This journal will link to various websites, books, magazines, weblogs, and other tools and resources that can help you define your dream, create a plan to make it real, and help you track your progress as you work towards achieving your goal and reaching the success level you want to attain. It can be very useful to maintain a journal that helps you track your activities and the progress, or lack of progress, that you are making. Whether you choose to use a public weblog or a private journal, it is important to keep regular notes on the actions you are taking to make your dream real. Otherwise, it is easy to go weeks or even months where you have made no progress at all. There are many distractions that will serve as obstacles to achieving your success goals, and a journal can be an effective tool to help you find and eliminate them -- if you keep it regularly. (Subscribe: Here are the ten most recent stories from the A Year From Now weblog.
(If you don't have a weblog or journal, you can get your free blog at Blogger.com.) What do all those icons mean? The orange icon with XML indicates an RSS feed for this site funneled through Feedburner.com so that it is readable by all RSS readers and most browsers. To subscribe to this feed in your RSS reader, right-click on the orange XML button (control+click for Mac users). Then, select Copy Shortcut ("Copy Link to Clipboard" for Macs) and then paste that URL into your RSS reader.

You are invited to learn more about Sitesell and their outstanding product, Site Build It! I consider Site Build It! to be the best web design, hosting, and promotion service on the planet. SBI powers my A Year From Now -- Act On Your Dream! website, and I use the tools included with SBI to make all my other sites better. The second icon is programmed to add this feed to your My Yahoo! page. The third represents how many people have subscribed to this RSS feed (not how many are reading it here on this page or on the blog itself).

You can easily syndicate these headlines on your site by copying the link code and putting it on your site or in your blog.
