It’s already 3rd quarter—do you know how close you are to your 2008 year-end goals.
What are your top 3 goals for 2008? Have they changed since January? Have you already reached them? Are you halfway there?
What? You can’t remember what your goals are? It’s true, that was a whole six months ago, but here we are mid-year and there’s still plenty of time to get yourself on track with your marketing and reach your annual goals by the end of the year.
In fact, summer is the best time to focus on it, when things slow down and lots of clients are on vacation. This is your time to work on your business. (One way to do that, by the way, is to attend the Creative
Freelancer Conference, August 27-29 in Chicago Details here:
The most important aspect of the planning process is to put everything in writing (whether electronically or the old-fashioned way) and keep that document accessible (rather than losing it in a pile or not being able to
remember what you called it).
Once you’ve got your goals in place, determine the steps you need to take
to reach those goals and schedule them into your life.
To help you do that, take a look at the Marketing Calendar from my article
in HOW magazine’s 2007 Self Promotion issue. There is a separate To Do list
for Rookies and Veterans.
