Hope you achieved them. I wish to add my views to the conversation: It’s so easy to say that “I just don’t have enough time!” or “I’m just too busy.” But if we learn to mange your time effectively than anyone can achieve a balance life even if you are very busy. Being busy is completely different from being productive. Thanks for sharing. Hi Selene,

I can handle three big ideas, better than overwhelming myself with a huge list. I'm going to write my goals like that this year. Thanks, some value there.

These are good ones though and if you are dedicated and keep to your goals, then it should be a good year for you. I never usually make new years resolutions because i never usually keep them.

For me I think this year will be: 1. establish and maintain multiple income streams aka "thrive" not "survive" on freelancing 2. Be able to fully code w/ jquery and maybe even release a plugin 3. get back into my illustration along w/ design. I am a new reader but i am definitely inspired. <abbr><em>Cams last blog post..<a href="http://blog.mookiedesign.com/just-three-things/just-three-things-january-2009/" rel="nofollow">January 2009</a></abbr></em> Great Post!

As far as I'm concerned, here are 3 things that I MUST do: 1) Setup my own blog + portfolio. 2) Get 5 clients for the month of Jan. (I know, not great, but it's a goal). 3) Be able to program anything in JS / PHP in my sleep by the end of 2009. So far all my work has been done in Photoshop and Notepad / Web Developer [firefox plugin] (Basic html / css). Just recently caught the jquery bug. A happy new year you to anyway.

Do as many local art/craft fairs as I can. This will be my 1st art fair season so I need to try as many as I can to see which will be the money makers or best exposure. 2. Make a profit. I would actually like to make a profit this year. It would be nice to say I made a profit in less than 2 years. 3. Build customer base to 50. Right now I'm at about 5 but hopefully with the 3 online selling venues & all those art fairs I can make this one happen soon. Great post. Thanks for making me sit down & actually get a plan together. :) Ok I think I’ve worked out my top 3 resolutions for my jewelry biz.
