Jena at Modish Biz Tips is keeping me honest with my business goals at her Monthly Goal Meetup. Thanks again, Jena, for supplying a place we can gather together and cross things OFF! Below is what I crossed-off for the month of June and what’s coming up for July.
June Business Goals
1* Finish taking product shots This is half done – it is cumbersome, to say the least. But I’ll get there!
2* Send out press kits I’m still trying to decide about this goal – think I’m going to modify it for July.
3* Finalize new packaging You can see this in a recent post below!
4* Streamline/restructure card selections (more intuitive?)
5* Add new designs/envelope colors
6* Formalize email/newsletter communication This was one I really wanted to cross-off… it will be a top priority for July
7* Add designs to CafePress store Taking this off the list for now and will explore later. Not a priority now.
8* Create pdf download for newsletter sign-up Gotta get the newsletter created before I can entice people to sign up for it!
9* Check out local shop for consignment opportunity
I need a fresh list to look at for July, so here it is below:
July Business Goals
1* Formalize email/newsletter communication
2* Create pdf download for newsletter sign-up
3* Finish taking product shots
4* Reach out to blogs for reviews (taking the place of press kits for now)
5* Find the right blog for placing an ad
6* Promote Facebook page
7* Get the word out about Cards for Heroes promotion
8* Combine blogs? I have three: business, dog, life. Maybe organize them differently.
9* Finishing reading Web Marketing for Dummies 🙂
I’m trying nine goals again this month. I’m hoping to not have any carry-overs for August, although it is Summertime… Little boys and a dog running around my house may delay things a bit. In any case, hope y’all did well this past month and look forward to reading all about it!
Wow you have an extensive list but sounds good. I’m intrigued to hear about your consignment opportunity and everything else. Good luck!

Great list. Your new package is super cute! Good luck for July!
Good luck for July! Your list looks great, well done for managing to tick so much off last month! glitterysah x
That’s a great list, good luck making progress!
Wow! No scaling back for the summer for you! Good luck!
Your list is great. I so need to work on the newsletter, I’ve had that on my list for a few months now. Best wishes for the coming months goals.
I was just enjoying all the photos and posts about your dog (Chocolate Lab?) on your other blog… What a good doggie! I like doing product shots best when I don’t have to do a big heap at once. Smaller chunks are definitely more manageable. Good luck for your July goals!
Thanks Anna. My dog is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever… very lab-like, just more stubborn! But she is a good girl.
Tough list for July, but considering how much you accomplished in June, I’m confident you can do it. Best of luck to you!
yay, good goals! it’s so hard in the summertime! but it looks like you are staying busy and productive. good luck with july!
Hi Cyn,
Thanks for your comment on my blog.
Product shots are the bane of my existence lately (taking over the ‘man’ position 😉 ).
I’d be interested in your newsletter. Let me know when you get it started!
Good luck with July’s Goals.
Andrea
Thanks everyone for stopping by and commenting. It means a great deal to know we’re rooting for each other’s success.
It will be a busy month for me, but I’m hoping to enjoy business and pleasure. Hope you do too!
Wow, you did so great with June…. and your new list – you are busy! And I hear you about the product shots. Time consuming and how. I wish you total and successful good luck on completing your July goals!
Wow–great work on your June goals! And good for you for keeping the momentum going through July. Best of luck to you!
That’s a good list, Cyn! I like the sound of Webmarketing for Dummies! 😀
