I kind of saw myself writing this! I've been freelancing for about 4 years now and am tired of chasing revenue. Starting a project, a bigger one, is really much better in the long run. It might take a while to pick up, but it's definitely worth it. That's why I've started my new viral blog a month ago (I kind of have the same goals this year!): www.the10most.com and am betting everything on it (while doing some sidework waiting for it to pick up!). Good luck with your projects as well!! jw Hey Mike,

Good luck with your projects as well!!

I always see quality work from you and an inspiration to what I'm trying to build as well. Would love to see updates on these goals as the year goes on. It's personal info really, but as much as you're willing to share. Good Luck, Mike! I always see quality work from you and an inspiration to what I’m trying to build as well.

Well, I'm personally having some "technical" goals. Which are taking the following courses: Lynda.com - Illustrator CS3 One-On-One Essential Training / Beyond the Basics / Advanced Techniques, Lynda.com - Typographic Principles. Lynda.com - Designing a Logo Hands-On Workshop, Debbie Millman - How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer, Rockable - Personal Branding, SitePoint - Sexy Web Design, and Site Point - The Principles of Beautiful Web Design. Hoping to be able to finish these this summer. Sounds interesting!

When I set myself goals, I try and use the SMART principle. That is: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-Framed. My non-financial goals for 2010 are: purchase an existing business (happening in March), relocate to Germany (happening in September) and launch my design blog @addtodesign (happening in the next few weeks.) Hopefully I can achieve them! They are some interesting goals Mike. When I set myself goals, I try and use the SMART principle. That is: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-Framed.
