Lori Widmer posted the other day about her January business assessment. I'm not very good at setting regular goals for myself, but that and her post for yesterday — on diversifying — inspired me to set a few goals for my freelance writing business in February.
And, yes, I'm even going to blog about them and make them public! They are:
1) Finish my website updates and get back to marketing
Lori's post on diversifying reminded me that I have been shamefully lax on this subject. I lost a couple of regular clients some months ago, but I was getting so much work from another that I didn't bother to start looking for more. Her post was a reminder of how precarious this position is.
2) Get back up to my normal income in February
In January I made a little over half my normal monthly income. If I'm going to recover properly from January and the holidays, I need to get back up to my normal income levels this month.
Well, there you have it. What are your goals for February?
