November 2011 .:. Biz Goals

And there went October! I got most everything done, and then some: taught at create explore discover in mid-October, got a big design job I wasn't expecting, and fit in some time for friends, and laughing, and talking too.

1. Jewelry - didn't get as much done as I wanted but here comes November
2. Journal Covers X3 - 1 done, 2 more coming
3. Get Holiday cards into Etsy shop - done and more coming
4. Flower painting series - not even started (!)
5. Start making contact with potential licensors - at least 3 contact this month. - 1 contact made and another going out this week
6. The Money Book - started (again!)
7. Incorporate #5, #6 and #8 from September back into October. THESE were the easiest bits all month long.

OK, so coming up in November, more of the same as above, plus a quick trip back east for a wedding, getting ready for some Holiday Art Fairs, and a birthday.

1. Finish 2 more journal designs, and then get to the binding and producing
2. Jewels
3. Flower series
4. Contact 2 licensors this month TWO!
5. Finish the website (it's seriously almost done!)

I think this is enough... okay here we go down the path to November and onward to winter. I hope you all fill your Novembers with whatever you deeply and surely and truly want to fill it with, and I hope that you find deep satisfaction in any and all of it. Happy November-ing.

Ah, the path to through November! To me, it's much more like a huge slide, greased with Crisco!!!!! ;-) But I do so hope that I find lots of meaning, and find some time to ENJOY the time! Sounds exciting, an unexpected design job!

Here's my list!

Yay for surprise Design Jobs! I hope you have fabulous luck with finding licensing for your work. Are you doing any Holiday Fairs in San Francisco? It would be great to meet you.

Have an amazing month, Liz!

Hello Ms Liz; feels funny not to talk to you.... I have a different approach to this month:I have decided to focus on what I am thank for.... (I have a four page business list that is well underway with lots of planning and organizing and launching etc.) but I want to take a moment back to my word of the year (REST) and really focus on what I am thankful for..(part of the inner self slowing down and resting and the outward self sharing...)we'll see how it goes...hope you join me...

Hi Liz - hope all is well. Glad you keep making time for the talking and laughing. :) I finally made a little list of my own for the Meetup. Mostly, I just need to get the paint on a lot more! xo!

Its great to see you have a little furry helper as well! You have a busy list for the month, and I'm so relieved to see you didn't get all your October list done (I'm not the only one). But I have to agree with Candy, November is a slippery slope, with shows and marching band competitions all before Thanksgiving. I shortened my list - it was too overwhelming! Thankfully we get Thanksgiving week off to take a breath before we descend into Holiday Craziness and a 17th birthday! Good luck.
