This post is a bit overdue, but better late than never. I have some big goals for my freelance company as well as my online shop for 2010. Here goes:
ETSY SHOP - 1. Big announcement soon. 2. Include new products, packaging printables, notepad designs plus a brand new product line, within the next couple of months. 3. Work toward having some of my products carried in online retail shops and maybe even brick n' mortar. 4. My products featured in a national magazine this year. {Last year I missed out on InStyle due to timing. Fingers crossed for this year! They were so nice!}
VALE DESIGN {freelance} - 1. I would love to pick up a couple of new freelance clients this year, packaging or print. I have been so fortunate to have worked with amazing clients the past four years and I am looking forward to meeting a couple more. 2. Continue with business organization, growth, new business plans, and streamlining. 3. Learn new techniques and push myself creatively for each client. 4. Network and meet new designers and clients via my site, Twitter or Linkedin. 5. Launch site re-design in the next couple of months.
IDEA FOLDER - I have this idea folder on my desk that is filled with post-its and shreds of paper with ideas on them that tend to pile up on my desk or in my car {where I get most of my ideas!}. There are some interesting ideas in there that I would like to work through.
SECRET PROJECT - This is the goal I am the most excited about. I have been taking my time with it due to massive amounts of research it requires and designing a new logo and website. This may sound crazy, but I have always wondered why I was given this creative gift and I finally think I may have found the reason.
Now, because I am a firm believer in letting others hear and help you toward your goals, I am also including a free DIY printable with this post! Just download the A6 fill-in invitation and rsvp card PDF, print onto cardstock, trim and have a party! Dream big and have a grand time while doing it. It is astounding to me what is possible when you step past fear and have the courage to vocalize your dreams and goals. I have also noticed how much sweeter it is to have a friend along for the ride!
