Business and Design Goals for 2011

I like to focus on "goals" rather than "resolutions" and I do try to be very goal oriented for my business each year. It's OK with me NOT to meet all of my goals - I just like having something to strive for. Every year I try to set attainable goals with a few not-so-attainable ones just for fun to see what happens. This is the first year that I am publicly posting these goals...maybe I will be more accountable this way.

Without further ado, here are my business and design goals for 2011:

- Build a better blog and/or be a better blogger
- Write and illustrate a children's book (or two)
- Use a paint brush more and a mouse less
- Keep a more active sketchbook
- Make new friends but keep the old (create designs for new and old clients/partners)
- Travel somewhere for work (this is the not-so-attainable part...unless I can bring a toddler and an infant with me)
- Be more of a social networker via facebook and twitter...well, maybe and maybe not...I just feel like that should be a goal. I'm just not sure that I am ready to commit. We'll see. Maybe 2012?

There. I said them out loud. Now I feel officially official. :)

On a side note, I am being a total copycat by posting my goals as I saw it on the Paper Pony blog a while ago. I have been meaning to do it ever since. Just wanted to give credit where credit is due...(Thanks Raya!)
