Today is the first chilly day I’ve felt in awhile, so it feels right that October is rolling around tomorrow. September was a bit of a roller coaster ride for me health-wise, but it seems to have leveled out now. Don’t feel too bad for me though. Even if I had some very bad days, my body was able to bounce back enough for me to finish my 1st sprint triathlon. I started training for it at the beginning of the summer and needed to finish it before the cold weather descended. So, I can cross that off my personal list and move on to the business cross-offs.<\/p>\n

September Business Goals
\n<\/strong><\/span>
\n1* Blog ahead and post at least 5 days a week between my two blogs
\n– I was inconsistent with this goal and will transfer it to October. I think it’s important to accomplish.<\/strong>
\n2* Finish designing seasonal and Holiday items and upload to site<\/del>
\n– I’m satisfied with what I’ve done so far on this.<\/strong>
\n3* Track September Ad with Google Analytics<\/del>
\n– I’m kind of encouraged by the results of my ad. It got my name\/brand out to a lot of new customers, but not a lot of sales. I’m undecided on how to proceed though.<\/strong>
\n4* Clean office<\/del>
\n– now I need to file \ud83d\ude42<\/strong>
\n5* Find the right fit for socially sharing photos and designs
\n– This got pushed to a lower priority and will move to October.<\/strong>
\n6* Promote Facebook page
\n– I continue to do this periodically, so it will become part of a new list I will create for myself as a perpetual goal. I did get my vanity URL \ud83d\ude42<\/strong>
\n7* Finish taking product shots
\n– Perpetual Goal List (ha!)<\/strong>
\n8* Write another newsletter and create pdf download freebie<\/del>
\n– A monthly Perpetual Goal List<\/strong>
\n9* Finish reading Web Marketing for Dummies \ud83d\ude42
\n– Low priority this month, so it moves yet again to another month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now that I have my handy-dandy perpetual goal list in my head, my monthly list here will be shorter.<\/p>\n

October Business Goals<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1* Blog ahead and post at least 5 days a week between my two blogs
\n2* Find the right fit for socially sharing photos and designs
\n3* Complete filing in my office
\n4* Pay some attention to my neglected Etsy shop
\n5* Convert existing designs into digital designs
\n6* Figure out where I’m going with advertising<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I feel like I’m forgetting something… but this is solid. Hope you all had a productive month and I’ll see you on your blogs! And thanks, as always, to Jena for creating this monthly goal check-in at Modish Biz Tips<\/a>.<\/p>\n
