6 and 13 are what I need to be doing… I know it, but it is hard to put into practice.

heather these are spot on. I think every one of them resonates with me. And actually, these apply to those other freelancers I know, not just writers! thanks for reminding me how to stay focused and in tune with my life and why i do what i do.

Oh, I have gotten lost in my business soooo many times. Fortunately, I (usually) recognize the signs a little faster now.

A great book to read (I may have mentioned it before – and I’ll probably write a blog post about it) is Found Money. It’s a very user-friendly way to look at your business income and plan for the future. I highly recommend it.

Thanks!

Great points Heather.

I think it’s time that I reexamine (OK create) my manifesto. As a freelancer or solopreneur, it is easy too get “lost” in your business. It is also too simple to lose your focus.

Time to regroup. Figure out where you want to go and then remember to plan how you are going to get there. Stating, “I want to make a lot of money writing,” isn’t enough. Dream. Plan. Implement. Tweak. Dream some more. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. (Hmm, a couple of those might have more to do with shampooing.)

Thanks for the post!
