April Goals

My goals for the month of April: (I think it's a good idea to have goals...I just never do it.  So, I'm doing it finally!)

**** Hit 80 sales**** I was around 51 on March 31st.  So, I'm setting myself a goal of approximately a sale a day.  I wanted to hit 50 by the 2nd month anniversary, and I did.  So, I'm setting the bar a little higher this time.

**** Take over one bill****  I'm selecting one household bill that my shop is responsible for paying every month.  Even if it's only 50 bucks...eventually I'd like to be able to pay for more.

****Make more faster**** I'm starting to make two or three duplicates at a time.  This is working out well, because I can save one, list one, and send one (to Maine).  Having inventory is really important in case I try a fair next summer.

****Rid of kitchen stuff****  I'm no longer making pot holders, coasters, or place mats.  I want to get them out of my shop and into someone else's home.  Alternatively, I may just ship them to Maine.  I love them, but they're not big sellers.

****Get organized****  I know this may be a shock to those who know me, but I'm very disorganized lately.  I need to get more storage, and put everything away every time I'm done working (ummmm, yeah ....this is a goal, not a must).

I think that's it for now.  As of today, my sales are at 65....so I'm pretty psyched!  Thank you to everyone who has and does support my shop!
