Anne, it's the second part that's not easy, isn't it? Follow through is always the tough part.

love the clarity of these two steps… simple, but not easy.

Indeed. But not if it requires the super long back-to-back days it took to get all of those things out the door.

You deserve a shout out! :)

Damn, Paula. That's one nice ten-day stretch! Congrats.

And wouldn't it be nice to make that in one week?

I got a shout out! Woo-hoo!

I calculate mine my invoices paid, since with some clients I never knew how long it would take for them to pay me. But in truth, I also have started looking at how much I invoice (or in the case of one client, turn in, since they invoice the first week of the month after the article runs) in a given week or month. In the past 10 days I've turned in or invoiced more than double my monthly goal. I was hard to do, but it feels good to know I should see all of that income by the end of the year.

BTW, I misread the sentence about the nice round number of $50,000. I thought you were talking per week! For a second there I thought, "I'm doing something seriously wrong!"
