2008 Business Goals

Once again, we did something this year that photography businesses we have been admiring have suggested: we created a list of business goals for the year. We're going to take it one step further and let everybody see these goals - that way we can be held accountable (i.e. made fun of and ridiculed :) if we don't meet them. Now, Jason isn't that sensitive, so aside from being disappointed himself if we don't meet these goals, he won't be bothered by other people knowing we're FAILURES!!!!! I, on the other hand, am TERRIFIED of failure - it's the reason I don't try so many things, cause if there is a chance I won't succeed I will be crushed (this is very sad, I know...I need therapy :) Anyway - without further ado, here is our 2008 Business Goals (in no particular order...whoops, I mean in alphabetical order - and a couple of these have been met):

1. Attend a Pictage User Group (PUG) meeting monthly

2. Blog at least twice/week

3. Donate services to 2 or more charities/organizations (CHECK!)

4. Get published in a magazine

5. Improve website/blog Google ranking

6. Photograph 30 High school seniors

7. Read 1 business book/month

8. Set aside all funds necessary for both of us to attend WPPI/Pictage Partnercon in 2009

9. Start a blog (CHECK!)

10. Travel out of state for a wedding 

 Well there it is - each time we complete a goal, we'll post it and update our list - woo hoo :) Wish us luck!
