2012 Plan

An illustrated business plan for 2012.

Now that I have one book under my belt as an author, I want more.

Why wait for elusive assignments?  Create the books you want to illustrate.

That's my message to myself this year!

Also, you can't have an illustration career without some systems in place. 
Wonderfully practical things like a set schedule, a marketing plan, new work and some concrete goals.

2011 Goals

My laundry list:
Sketch daily
Take a watercolor class
Create a watercolor portfolio
Finish 3 dummy books
Submit those dummy books
Send out 4 postcards
Submit a kids craft book proposal
Create a holiday licensing portfolio

How to accomplish a goal:
1. Write it down
2. Give it a deadline
3. Break it down into baby steps
4. Schedule time for those baby steps
5. Reward yourself for goals accomplished
