#ROW80 Review Check In Round 1

Posted on by ronetw

In the early hours of this morning we launched a couple of amendments to our ROW80 goals as we had forgotten to add a few interesting points to our goals.  Anyway that was this morning, this evening we’re going to focus on how we’ve been getting along with our goals. Since its only been a couple of days since we have started the challenge you would think that there may not be a lot of progress to report and in away you are right.

Yesterday saw us taking down the Christmas decorations after the New Year celebrations and today has seen us just finishing off a few loose ends that had been left from 2011.  So with arrival of 8am this morning we were quite anxious to get started on the Add Deal project.

We’re going to tell you a couple of the points that we have achieved thus far.

Whilst your here please have a look at the other related posts including our initial goals and the amendments that we made to our working goals just this morning.

Blogging

  1. We’re making good progress on completing 5 posts every week – we have been doing a couple of posts everyday thus far.
  2. Guest Posts – hmm not really been doing any of these of late due to other commitments
  3. Pages – we’ve updated our About Page and we’re making progress to keep them all up to date
  4. Comments – another great success – comments have been replied too and made on other people’s blogs (sociable)

Work

We had to make some amendments to our work goals and as such the goals now look as follows:

  1. We’re working towards completing the goals as set out in the Add Deal business plan – although these will be redone in time
  2. Have at least  5 new users signing up everyday – unfortunately we’ve not go this far yet as we’ve been focusing on other tasks
  3. Add Deal Babies has not yet been launched we’re working towards this – plenty of coding ahead :D
  4. We’ve contacted a supplier of loyalty cards whom has connections to other useful people within the market :D
  5. Add Deal.TV – domain name has been purchase via 123-reg for just £9.99 really pleased :D
  6. Register as Self Employed – not as yet as we don’t have a business yet
  7. Set up Bank accounts – we’re looking to set one up with Natwest soon as
  8. Take a look at some potential premises – we’ve been and nosed at a couple of offices – we may have found one…
  9. We’re on the hunt for some businesses to give us a trial – info@adddeal.com 

Exercise

Ok, now comes some truth we’ve not been exercising as much as we should have been due to a lot of our focus being on our working section.  We’re hoping that we’ll spend some more time on our exercising in the coming days.  We’re also recovering from a small virus – which is becoming very annoying

Photography

Nothing to report as yet – we’ve had a look at couple of cameras on Amazon and Currys but nothing has really taken our eye… more in the coming few days.

Other

  1. E-mails – good progress here we’ve been replying and keeping our inbox nice and tidy although there are quite a few twitter notifications that could do with being put in a folder… hmm next job…
  2. Music we’ve purchased one new track which just happens to be Usher – Trading Places – hardly what we call modern..
  3. Movies we could all be taking a trip to the movies this week
  4. TV SHows – we’re still on the hunt for our new TV Series..

So considering this is our first review on our first attempt at the ROW80 challenge how well do you think we did??  We’re quite impressed especially with the amount that has been achieved on our working goals… we’re going to spend some time focusing on ensuring our exercising goals are also being complete.

Don’t forget to checkout our initial goals and our amendments..

How well did you do??
