If you happen to know Team Groucho personally, then you probably know that there's not much else we love more than setting (and accomplishing) fresh goals. Goals keep us focused, on fire, and looking forward to the future. Which is also why we always get pretty pumped about New Year Resolutions. Say what you will about them, but you gotta admit...the spirit of it is pretty stellar. A brand new start, a set date to try something new, a call for fresh challenges.
And we got one for you. This week we've set a goal of reaching 450 Groucho Sports Facebook Fans. We're at 241 right now. Yeah, yeah, we feel you...everyone and their mom tries to get more Facebook fans at least once a year, and we get a little tired of it, too. Our reasons for setting this goal, though, is a bit more complicated than just bragging rights.
Our main goal is being able to have a wider conversation with you all. We think our Facebook page is a pretty dope place to hang out - fun articles, cool videos, engaging intellectual discussions on favorite Christmas movies - and we're intent on making it even cooler in 2011. The way we would like to do that is to tie more community into our page. We want to make the Groucho Sports Facebook page a place where you can learn about the latest happenings in both the local and worldwide sports communities. We've got some cool friends, and we'd like you to be able to get to know them better...but we also know that - despite being extremely hip and socially-in-demand people - we don't know everybody. The best thing about Groucho is getting to know you guys, and learning more about what gets you amped when it comes to life, sports, community, and fun. So it comes down to this: The more people that join our conversation, the more interesting it becomes for everyone.
We're also planning on separating our content via Facebook and Twitter in 2011. While we've enjoyed the ability to have different discussions on the same topic via Facebook and Twitter, it's time to separate the two and give you something different on each platform. So we don't want you to miss out, yo.
If we reach our goal of 450 Facebook Fans, we'll be giving away a Super Sweet Giveaway Pack - a limited edition Groucho water bottle and a Street Origin T-Shirt - to a randomly-selected Facebook fan. None of this "450th follower gets the prize" stuff...we like new friends, but we love our old ones. If everyone is helping us reach our goal, everyone has a chance at the Super Sweet Giveaway Pack.
So that's the rap on that. Now get out there and spam your friends and family about joining us. Besides, it'll give you a good way to make Aunt Cathy feel like she's a bigger part of your life.
And then come back over here and give us the skinny on what your New Year Resolution is going to be...inspired by Erin to do a 30 Day Yoga Challenge? Or perhaps you're determined to eliminate a bad habit that's wreaking havoc on your life, like consuming sugar-laden drinks or watching "Keeping Up With The Kardashians"? C'mon! Tell us!
We can't support you unconditionally if you don't let us in, pal.

I'll go first! My New Year Resolution is incorporating a "Power Hour" (yes, I know it's a cheesy title, but I don't care) into my morning - 20 minutes meditation, 20 minutes of yoga/workout, and 20 minutes of purposeful reading (i.e, New York Times or The Success Principles book, etc). Starting off the day this way always translates into a happier, more productive, and focused day, and it will help me better reach all the other goals I've set for myself.
