Half Hour Huddle on ShermanHu.tv for 20090105

January 5, 2009 by Sherman Hu  
Filed under Half Hour Huddle, Video

Today’s show is the first show of 2009. In addition, Ustream.tv featured our “Half Hour Huddle” on their home page again - thanks Ustream.tv!!

As this is the beginning of the new year, we covered more ground about planning and forecasting for the new year. References were made to a previously recorded video about my planning process. In addition, we covered alot of ground across many topics ranging from blogging, video, social media and web marketing.

I look forward to hosting more LIVE broadcast shows in 2009 that deliver value to you, and to continue to earn your support as a trusted resource and advisor. Here’s to you and yours for 2009, wishing you a blessed, healthy, wealthy and prosperous New Year!!

Please check out the video and show notes. Also would also appreciate your feedback on the show, what value you received, any takeaways you are going to run with, and any comments you may want to share. Thanks!
