The last assessment of 2009 – can you believe it? Here we are, 12 months from when we set those business goals for this year. So how did you do? First, looking at the year as a whole, I was off my mark almost every month, but somehow managed to come within $10K of my…

Monthly Assessment – November
I’m back! Miss me? We spent just enough time and donated more than enough money to the Las Vegas tourism cause. It was a wonderful trip, but I’m glad to be home. Time once more for a monthly assessment. November flew by. I was so busy with one particular client that all marketing went to…
Monthly Assessment – October
Oh my lord, was this a long month or what? We had an extra few days to play with, which turned out feeling like an entire extra month stuffed into October. While the time may have flown by on the calendar, there were a lot of days to contend with. October is a critical month…
Monthly Assessment – September
Here we go again – another month, another assessment of the marketing and business plan. And once again, I invite you to share your own results, be they good or be they not so good. It was a bit of a transitional month for me. I had just returned from vacation two weeks prior and…
Monthly Assessment – August
My word, has it been a month already? It seems like I just wrote my monthly assessment for July. Well, the calendar says it’s time, so here goes. It was a short month for me in the earnings department thanks to two weeks in Scotland – has it really been two weeks since I came…
Monthly Assessment – July
It’s a day early, but I may be too busy tomorrow to post my monthly review. July started out rocky – most people are on vacation, so no real work to speak of. I sat with little to do until the second full week of this month. I decided to head up to Ontario to…
Monthly Assessment – June
Oh yes it is that time again. Time for all of us to let the mothballs out of the Excel program and share how the month has been. Want me to start? Where to start? How about at the beginning? Queries –I burned up the bandwidth this month. I put out at least 5 new…
Monthly Assessment – May
Many thanks again to Devon Ellington (aka Jenny Storm) for spending time last week with us answering writing and publishing questions and sharing her process with us. If you have any more questions, you’re free to ask them here or visit her on her blog. Another month, another assessment of how things went. May was…
Monthly Assessment – April
Yes, once again it’s time to bare our souls – or rather, our careers – to see how we’re doing on our way to freelance success. Like always, I’ll throw myself under the bus first in hopes you’ll follow. 😉 April – what can I say? Taxes had me crippled the first week and a…
Monthly Assessment – March
Yes, it’s time once again for us to look at the month and see what went right, what went wrong. Ready? Oh, what a month. No, not work-wise. Just oh, what a month. Too much weirdness, too many failed attempts to find work, too much idle time spent dealing with unnecessary, well, crap. Here’s how…
