Today is the anniversary of my first ever blog post here at Life is Limitless and what a year it’s been since then. Becoming a blogger is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I’m not exaggerating when I say that it has changed my life. Not only have I done things I wouldn’t have thought possible a few years ago but I’ve also met and connected with many incredible and inspirational people, who I wouldn’t have otherwise met.
But it’s not simply about what blogging has the done for me. I conceived of this site just over a year ago because I wanted to create a place where I could share the lessons I’ve learnt with you and where you could share the lessons that you have learnt with me and each other.
A few stats
Since launching this blog on May 4th 2011 I’ve published 53 posts (including this one) and the response from you has been more than encouraging:
You have made 575 comments
You have viewed 29,827 pages
153 of you have subscribed to the blog
675 of you follow me on Twitter and
215 of you like the Life is Limitless Facebook page
I’ve been blown away by the support, encouragement, feedback and interest people have shown this site since I tentatively started on my blogging adventure twelve months ago and because of this I’m determined to thank you for your support by making some enhancements to the site. As well as providing more and better content, I’m also keen to create some new resources and services that I hope will better help you on your journey to face your fears and achieve your dreams.
Over to you
To do this I need your help. I’ve put together seven questions, the answers to which will really help me to make the improvements that you most want to see and that will therefore be of most benefit to you. This whole thing only works if it works for you. I’ve purposely kept the survey short so as not to take up too much of your time.
I’d suggest copying and pasting the questions and your answers into an email and pinging it over to me at caroline@lifeislimitless.com. If you have any other questions, comments, thoughts please do include them, I’d love to hear what you’ve got to say.
1. Tell me something you think I ought to know about you.
2. Why do you read Life is Limitless?
3. Which topics would you like me to write about more?
4. What content do you think is currently missing from my site?
5. Aside from blog posts, what other resources could I create to help you with your personal development journey, facing fears and living your dreams?
6. If you would want me to make one improvement to this blog, what would it be?
7. What are you working on in your life that I might be able to help you with?
One of the things I am planning to introduce soon is online coaching calls with me and as a thank you for taking the time to fill in the survey, I’ll be offering one of you (picked at random) the opportunity to work with me on this endeavor. In return for sharing my coaching expertise with you, I’ll be asking for your feedback and ideas about how to improve the service before I launch it to a wider audience later in the year.

Caroline – I have spent the last couple of months checking out and looking at various blog sites. Seeing what you have created – starting to read your content (yes I am new here) you have been a major source of encouragement to me already. Very well done – you deserve the praise you are receiving from your subscribers.
Gabrielle, thanks so much for your lovely comment. I’m so pleased that you’ve enjoyed my blog and I’m totally grateful for such lovely feedback
Hello Caroline,
So I am a new subscriber to your site so many of my answers are based on limited knowledge but I’ll do my best
1. Tell me something you think I ought to know about you.
I quit my job in America, moved to Japan, and am pursuing my childhood dream to become a ninja
2. Why do you read Life is Limitless?
For mulitple reasons. One is I like to read content that inspires me to make the most of my life. Second, I am trying to learn about blogging and by reading your site I gain an insight about how to blog.
3. Which topics would you like me to write about more?
Well, since I am very new reader I don’t know which topics you haven’t covered. But I love reading anything that helps make my life more awesome.
4. What content do you think is currently missing from my site?
As I mentioned above I am a fairly new reader so I am unable to answer this.
5. Aside from blog posts, what other resources could I create to help you with your personal development journey, facing fears and living your dreams?
Provide video content. You may already do this but I have not seeing it. It would be fun to see and hear you speak. It would give the readers more opportunities to get to know you.
6. If you would want me to make one improvement to this blog, what would it be?
I am not able to answer this with my limited experience on your site.
7. What are you working on in your life that I might be able to help you with?
Finding ways to generate income by following my childhood dream to become a ninja.
Well, I hope some of this is helpful. As I said before I am a very new subscriber so my knowledge is fairly limited.
