So I've come to the conclusion that having small monthly goals creates more drive and ambition when it comes to building my business. Of course I'd love nothing more than to pick up everything I own, move to NYC, and become a huge successful designer..but let's be real. That might be my ultimate goal, but I'm not that naive...that goal will take YEARS to complete. So instead, every month I'm giving myself a small goal that is attainable to achieve. One month it might be to have 2 photo shoots, create 5 new dress designs, or make a promo video. This way I can balance out my time with different projects and not feel so overwhelmed.
It's important to achieve these small goals because in a way they're little victories. You have to give yourself some credit on the progress no matter how small it might be. Otherwise just focusing on the larger picture upfront will never feel in reach. This is a process, and it's going to take time. I'm enjoying the journey so far, and for me, being caught in the middle of it is the best part. I'm learning more about myself and what I want in my life. What a blessing this has turned out to be.
This month my goals include a prom dress, a wedding dress design, and also 1-2 Rock Dollie photo shoots. February is also AVCD's anniversary month so might need to think of something special for that as well. It's a short month, but I think I got this! One of my favorite quotes, "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."-Ralph Waldo Emerson. One thing you need to know about me...I live by this quote!
