Is 2010 really over already?

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

I can’t believe it’s 2011.  It’s been a ‘year of change’ and much more exciting and fulfilling than I thought it would be at the beginning of last year.

Highlights

1. Starting my own business

This year, I went full time freelance.  After a few weeks worrying about getting enough work, I spent the rest of the year worrying about how I was possibly going to finish all the work, and how to turn down work I didn’t have time for without losing good clients.  I have been completely blessed with amazing referrals, the opportunity to work with more talented people than I ever have before, and the opportunity to spend some time working on my own projects, which I feel have really good potential for growth and prosperity in 2011.

2.  Spent more time with family

Due to some unfortunate visa and family issues, I got to spend 1/4 of this year in Canada. Even though I went home for reasons I wish were different, I feel so blessed to get to spend time with my family, see one of my best friends just after her baby was born and get to celebrate my other best friend’s birthday in Montreal.

3. Moved to the country

I have moved out of London to a small town south of Guildford.  Originally nervous, I have now embraced my country living, especially the vegetable gardening and the incredibly friendly people. Hopefully 2011 will bring me further country joys… stay tuned!

Goals for 2011

- Make more money than last year
- Make money from one of my apps
- Develop my corporate website to a full blown agency
- Work on bigger projects
- Develop a more diligent bookkeeping and marketing schedule
- Go on more English adventures

So, basically, 2010 was a huge year of change for me, but 2011, I hope, will be my year of growth!  Happy new years everyone!
