I really hate the term “resolutions.” I also hate that everyone does them. That being said, I was thinking about my life in the coming year. What do I want…? Where do I want to be…? Who do I want to be…?, by this time next year. Here are a few ASPIRATIONS (I didn’t say the “r-word”) from my list.
(Yes, I did leave out a few that I wanted to keep private. This list is edited from the original! Of course!)
1. Build Up My Store’s Stock: To be able to offer the variety of sizes and silhouettes for a wide range of people, I need to have as much up in my store as possible.
2. Increase My Income from My Shop: #1 connects with this. The more product I have available, the more customers will purchase from the store, and the more satisfied customers! My ultimate goal is to be able to make a living wage from my business.
3. Double This Blog’s Stats (at least!): This means–more publicity, more interaction, more posts, more everything! I need to start making a written down plan of what I’m going to do to bring in more readers and traffic.
4. Recruit Sponsors for This Blog: I want to build relationships with companies, other blogs, shops, etc. To find a mutually beneficial way of supporting each other.
5. Start the Process of Manufacturing My Plus Size Vintage-Inspired Designs: Isn’t this every designer’s dream? I want to make this a reality! Or, at least start researching to possibilities out there!
6. Keep with a Regular Blogging/Shop Updating Schedule: Slowly, but surely I have been figuring out the best way of doing things for this blog and the shop. I hope to really have this nailed down soon!
7. Scout New Photo Shoot Locations Regularly: It is very easy to get stuck in a rut and take pictures at the same ol’ place all the time. I want to always keep things interesting!
…and on a personal note…
8. Get Outside My Box When it Comes to Romance (or Lack There of): What can I say? I think this is a category that always has to be worked on, no matter what your romantic status is. Can’t get stale or you’ll never move forward.
9. Get Back on Track with My Healthy Living Regime: I actually already started this. I got a little off track for a while (never completely though!), but I am rarin’ to go! More on this topic in the very near future!!
Most of my aspirations for 2013 are business and career minded. I do have a few more personal items that can be added to that list, for sure!
What are some of your aspirations for the coming year?
