October is half way over already! I have two upcoming craft shows next month that I need to prepare for as well as finding time to keep an online presence. Here are some of my goals that I hope to achieve before December 31st:
#1. Set up my first blog giveaway. I'm expecting this to be ready fairly soon...so check back for more information on this mysterious giveaway.
#2. Start up another blog. The theme/subject of this new blog is under wraps. I am still working out the kinks, and I will post more information when I have that blog up and running.
#3. Send out my first email newsletter. The pieces are slowly coming together on this.
#4. Have 300 items listed for sale. At least! I actually want to accomplish this before the end of November. Once I sit down to create it seems to come easy for me.
#5. List items not yet listed. This includes new surgical steel post earrings, hair accessories, and more.
#6. Advertising. This includes Deviant Art, craigslist, local newspapers, social networking websites, bulletin boards, and consignment inquiries.
#7. New items. There are new ideas and items I want to work with and offer for sale before the holiday rush. I also want to expand on my current items. More ribbon bookmarks, clip on earrings, necklaces, men's accessories, etc.
#8. Personal website. I want my personal website to be live as soon as possible. (a special thanks to my fiance for putting it together from scratch.) If I had two days I could have it up and running.
#9. Make gifts for friends/family. Saving money has become more critical than ever so I am making more of an effort this year to make gifts for all my friends and family. This includes jewelry, accessories, cards, etc.
#10. Run my business full time. I would love very much to be able to run 1337art full time. This holiday season will be a sort of test to see if I am ready to do it. There are so many things I would like to expand on, and I would strive best working for myself. I can do it!
There will definitely be time for relaxation too!
Thank you so much for your time,

Ambitious!!!
Christina,
Envision where you want to go. List what you need to do to get there. Prioritize your goals daily -make sure your marketing yourself so you're not invisible!
Love your coffee themed jewelry!
Can't wait to see where you go!
That is such a great list. You have inspired me. I follow you on twitter.

I think those are grand goals. I want to start a newsletter myself. Matter of fact I need to link your site to stick to all of your goals. Twitter Carmennc.
What an impressive list.Clear goals are always helpful but not easy to clarify ,often.Good for you
Woah, 300 items for sale?! Maintaining all those listings would be daunting to be sure. :-)
Lists are such a good thing...keeps us focused. Crossing things off the list is always a great feeling as well!
