We all have the typical personal resolutions, exercise more, stop eating chocolate blah blah blah, but how about resolutions for your business or work ethic? The New Year is always a great motivation to give yourself a good kick up the you know what and put those plans into action.
As a new freelancer (and full time mumma of a 6 month old) I thought I'd share a few of my light hearted business new year resolutions to inspire you to do the same!
1. Keep connected - Whatever your platform, Twitter, Linkin etc it's good to talk. Keeping up-to-date with your industry and connecting with others is the best way to get you noticed and to keep yourself and content relevant.
2. To-do lists - I know there are apps and fancy calendar things on outlook that can do this for you, but for me, you can't beat a good old fashioned written to-do list. Which reminds me, must put 'write to-do list' on my mental to-do list!
3. Stop putting exclamation marks in copy, tweets and blogs when not entirely necessary!! I know, it's annoying, I just get excited! :)
and finally number 4. Don't sweat the small stuff - However stressed you may get with work in 2011, if you have a child that smiles at you like mine, you know that family is the most important thing in this world. So make time for them and don't let business rule your head 24/7! (that ! was needed)
