Setting Goals for 2009

Every year around this time I set my goals. For the most part, I met most of my past goals. When I was freelancing more my goal each year was to earn $10,000 more than the year before. I’m happy to say this is a goal I always met. This year my situation has changed and therefore my goals have changed. As you know,  I have a full time telecommuting gig and freelance a bit less. So do I still have writing goals?

Of course.

In 2009 I’m going to be concentrating less on freelancing goals and more on personal goals. I’m exploring more residual forms of income, for instance, ebooks. I have one I’ve been working on each night and I hope will be done before the end of the year. I also have ideas for several more ebooks. I’m also continuing to work on FWJ and this freelance writing community. I hope I’m on the right track. Because I have a day job it’s a slow process but to me that makes it more enjoyable.

I’d also like to take on more speaking, guest blogging and other opportunities where I can share what I know with other people. My friend David Peralty and I have an idea we feel is a great one, and hopefully we’ll bring that to fruition in 2009.

Professionally, I will continue to do the best job I can. I have the greatest job in the world and it’s a pleasure to give it my all.

As always, my biggest goal is to spend quality time with my family who will always come first. I hope to be the best possible example to my son and best friend I can be to my husband.

So share….what are your goals for 2009?
