What's NEW in 2021...

I’m going to start this week’s blog out with a question. What would you like to see from me in 2021? No, seriously… leave me a comment if you have anything specific you think I should be doing or offering this year. 


Honestly, I’ve already worked out my preliminary marketing calendar for 2021 and it’s stacked! I  printed out my yearly calendar and planned some quarterly biz goals, time off, promotional periods, etc. There are new products (YIPPEE), custom illustrations, Christmas in July, I’m planning on marketing some old stuff (soon… you’ll this is in Q1 and Q2), and I’ve got something BIG to wrap up the year with… my Oprah goal! Yes, you heard that right - you’re finally going to hear a bit about “my Oprah”! 


My mission has sort-of evolved over the years… This year Self-Care is going to play a role in everything I do. It’s something I need to get better about PERSONALLY, so I’m going to bring that to you as well!  But my core values remain the same.

My mission is to make everyday things exciting/quirky/colorful (because creativity is a form of self-care)!


One thing that is staying the same this year is I am still working with my time management and simplicity coach, Amanda. She has helped me TREMENDOUSLY with setting up healthy routines, BATCHING MY CONTENT (seriously the best gift I could’ve ever given myself), and focusing on my business. But NOT JUST my business - taking care of myself, my home, taking time off, making time for me, etc. It’s kind of like having a productivity coach in my back pocket! 

And my ULTIMATE GOAL for 2021 is something I'm working toward in Q4. My goal is to launch “Oprah” in November 2021 and I'm going to have to spend all my spare time (seriously ALL.THE.TIME I can squeeze out of 2021) working on this book. Wait, I said “book”... did you catch that? I thought you did, you sneaky little sneakster (more to come later… I promise!) And I'm purposely not taking on as much design work in 2021 so that I CAN focus on this project. 

My passion project! 

My Oprah. 

So given everything I’ve talked about here today - what am I forgetting? What would you like to see from me in 2021? Please drop me a comment below and let me know...
