I’m sad to say that in my entire first year of freelancing I never sat down and wrote down the goals of what I was hoping to accomplish. I just took most of the work that came my way, and somehow have still been able to make ends meet. But that approach hasn’t allowed me to grow with intentionality. So, yesterday, I sat down and wrote my vision, values, methods, obstacles, and key metrics I would track to determine whether or not I was working toward my goals.
