Enter the Dragon

January 1, 2012 By Johanna Baker-Dowdell Leave a Comment

Falling in the Chinese Year of the Dragon, 2012 is supposed to be lucky. So what does the year ahead look like to you?

 

Before looking forward I like to revisit the personal and professional goals I set at the end of 2010 and see how I went. If you look at my post When the Head and Heart Collide I wrote at the same time last year, you can see I set the following goals:

• Write and publish my business book for mums – I am about to finish writing the first draft of Business & Baby on Board to publish around Easter next year

• Find a property for our hazelnut farm – we haven’t bought a farm yet, but have found a property we’re happy to live in indefinitely, so the farm search has changed to include land as we no longer need a property with a house

• Hire another virtual PR consultant to work with me – I started 2011 with Josh and finished with Josh, Emma and Anne all helping to generate amazing publicity for clients

• Treat my business as a valued client and generate some publicity for Strawberry Communications – I became an ABN blogger, was interviewed for the Business Success Podcast, spoke at several events including the Mumpreneurs Conference, was a finalist in the Tasmanian Women’s Entrepreneur Awards, was listed in Ross Dawson’s Top Australian Twitter Influencers, contributed to a book, guest posted on Anita Heiss’s blog and received publicity in news.com.au and The Mercury’s magazine.

• Find peace with my body – this is an ongoing battle for me and I’m definitely not there yet.

 

I think I did OK with that list. So here’s my combination personal and professional list for 2012.

 

• Become an author

• Be on track to growing Strawberry Communications’ income by 25 per cent in the 2012-13 financial year

• Be fitter

• Again – find peace with my body

 

What are your goals for 2012? Meet me back here this time next year to see how I went.
