It's really been quite a fruitful first half of 2011. Though there's still a lot of room for improvement, I'm feeling pretty good so far.
But now, I have to revisit the goals I've set out for myself at the beginning of the year.
My Business Goals
1. Create a physical "work space" separate from my "chill space."
I've kind of had to put this on the back burner. This is kind of dependent on getting a lot more space freed up in the living room or at least rearranging a bunch and getting rid of stuff. And it's something I need to do with the boyfriend.
2. Keep better track of my money and my time.
I've done a fairly good job at this so far. I'm a bit behind on updating my budget spreadsheet, but I've done fairly well thus far. Money is tight, so there isn't too much to really keep track of. Otherwise, I've been pretty good about the use of my time when it comes to my business. I've even been able to participate in a lot of the teleconference calls.
3. Increase my average number of monthly parties to 5-6.
I've actually managed to get about 4 parties a month, with March and April having 4-5 parties. I'm still working on getting those bookings, though I had to focus more on getting some consistent day work. But I'm still going to push for 5-6 parties a month! Why the heck not???
4. Sign Up for a Sex Education Certification from Planned Parenthood.
Before the goddamned year is over, I will definitely be doing this. It's mainly been about having the money in time, which has not been easy. But, hopefully, it will happen in September.
Team Goals
5. Become a Demi Goddess (have 5 active recruits) by the end of 2011!
I'm still working on getting 3 more recruits. I've had a couple of small bites, and I'm trying to stay consistent with all the recruit leads. But, when they're ready, they're ready.
6. Hold at least 1 Team Meeting via internet, phone, or in person every 3 months.
Okay, well, I need to do better about this. I've had to do a lot of rethinking about other areas of my world, so unfortunately this hasn't been my priority. But I will be on it in the upcoming months.
7. Make it to Golden Circle 2011 in August!
I've made it to 26 points! I've earned me a dinner and breakfast, and all I need to worry about is the hotel! I'm not sure if I'll have enough time to earn another 24 points, but now I know that I will be ready for next year's Golden Circle!
8. Host an event (Bingo, Athena's Cup..or both!) with my Team (recruits and sisters if possible)!
Oy, well, I did manage to host a Sex, Druggs, and Juggs Trivia last year. Unfortunately, the Sex and Drugs Trivia and the Savant Project have had to close their doors. But I'm not giving up! Once I have a better idea about the time I and others have available, I'll be on it.
I know it sounds like a lot of promises. But, I know I have a half year left. I'm probably going to be extremely busy, working several jobs alongside my Athena's biz. It'll be nice to be busy and making money again.
