{ Lists }
These last few months have been quite a whirlwind for me! Lots of photo shoots, Photoshop tutoring sessions, blogging and fulfilling orders filling my time. I've got some new things stirring up in my mind that I'd love to accomplish by the end of this year. I love organization and love lists! I love the feeling of being able to cross something off my to-do list and say that I've accomplished it.
Last year, when I decided that I wanted to pursue photography as a career and start a business, I created a list. It included things like:
1. Get business cards made.
2. Write a Terms of Service contract
3. Get a website.
4. Start writing a blog.
5. Etc, etc.
It was about a full page of things that I wanted to accomplish before the year was over. It felt so amazing to cross those things off my list and do what I only used to think about doing.
I was committing my thoughts to action.
Now 2011 is in full swing and I am doing the same thing. At the start of the year, I wrote a list of things that I'd like to accomplish. Some of the goals that I've already accomplished are:
1. Get licensing.
2. Become Trademarked.
3. Be part of the Ultimate Women's EXPO.
4. Switch from a full time to a part time job.
5. Get business cards made (this one took me some extra time). ; )
6. Book almost every Saturday.
7. Blog at least once a week.
8. Etc.
There is a { LONG } laundry list of other things that I would like to accomplish this year, some of which I am already putting into practice. Some little dreams, some bigger ones. But whatever size they are, I'm dreaming and putting them down on paper.
I've found that as I've committed my thoughts to action, that I get more done. I accomplish those things that I had only "thought" about doing. It forces me to stretch and grow and accomplish those things I was thinking about doing and to go out and actually DO them.
What would YOU like to accomplish this year?
Have you written those things down?
Imagine how much more you can get done this year if you do!
