He was a pleasure to talk to and the process was simple (although\u00a0I apologise for sitting in front of a window and thus having my face shadowed a bit too much).<\/p>\n<p>I have\u00a0to admit to being nervous about watching and listening to myself on a video &#8211; but I pushed myself to talk to people at PBEvent and now I have raised the bar higher for myself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Side notes: John is interviewing both attendees and virtual attendees to the\u00a0event so let him know if you want to share your experiences, too. If you haven&#8217;t yet grabbed one, you can <a title=\"Problogger Event Virtual Tickets still on sale!\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/SxfF2T\" target=\"_blank\">still get a virtual ticket<\/a>, listen\u00a0to some sessions and then talk to John!<\/p>\n<h2>Goals from problogger event<\/h2>\n<p>One question I knew John would ask was &#8216;what key goals have you set as a result of attending problogger?&#8217; so I spent some time that morning thinking\u00a0about <a title=\"SMARTY goals\" href=\"http:\/\/wordconstructions.com.au\/blog\/2008\/01\/smarty-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\">specific goals<\/a> &#8211; and goals that were big picture enough to be interesting and challenging.<\/p>\n<p>The answer I gave John is nothing like what I had thought of saying!<\/p>\n<p>One goal I do have is to find &#8216;sparks of energy&#8217; as <a title=\"Problogger Darren Rowse on Twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/problogger\" target=\"_blank\">Darren<\/a> called them.<\/p>\n<p>He was referring to the things\u00a0that I enjoy posting about and am energised by plus the things that my readers are energised and interested by.<\/p>\n<p>So my goal is to sit and reflect on what topics and posts\u00a0I find the most interesting to work on so I can keep my momentum going and not burn out.<\/p>\n<p>The other side of my goal is to also determine\u00a0which posts and\u00a0topics give the most\u00a0value to my readers (that is, you!) so I can help you as much as possible with your communications and writing projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">So what does energise\u00a0and interest you?
