Holy crud, it’s June 2010! Where did the year go? We’re half way through 2010 already… seriously, are you kidding me? Being at the half-way point in the year, it’s certainly a bit of a wake up call for me to get my arse in gear. We all know my “break” was slightly longer than I expected, so it’s time to get things moving.
June is going to be a busy month for me. My products are going to print later this week (we are full steam ahead on Plan A and I was able to go off-set – wahoo!) and I’m filled with excitement, nerves and everything in between. This month, I need to focus. I need a plan. We all know launching new products comes with a whole set of mini to-do’s (i.e. photography, product descriptions, crunching pricing and shipping numbers blah blah blah). So, I’m going to keep my list small and add stuff if time and resources become available. I already know I’ve forgotten some stuff as is. Yep, June 2010 is going to to be jam packed. But bring it on!
- Launch new products
- Proof/doing final edits
- Shoot products
- Write descriptions
- Figure out pricing
- Figure out shipping
- Create a press release
- Create freebie to coincide with launch
- Get Big Cartel shop up and running
- Launch my main website (already designed/coded – just needs copy/images)
- In meantime, launch new splash page
- Get the ball rolling on new collection release
- Get quotes from printer
- Design at least 5 pieces
- Put the “yah or nay” on a new project idea I have
- If yah, get the wheels in motion
- If nay, enjoy the spare time ;)
How’s that for June’s goals? Am I nuts? Is it doable? We shall see. We shall see.
What about you? What are your goals for this month? Feel free to post them on your blog and share a link here in the comments. I’d love to see what you’ve got up your sleeves. Perhaps we can make this a monthly thing? What do you think?

I’m closing up shop for the whole month of July to travel Europe, so June to me means tying up loose ends, selling as much inventory as I can, and packing! :) August on the other hand…
This month I want to create some inventory and participate next month at a Saturday morning farmer’s market style boardwalk sale on the water.
June for me is all about designing! I can’t wait to jump back in and CREATE. It’s funny how I call myself a designer, but lately seem to have been doing everything but design. Thanks for reminding me it’s June 1st – I guess I better open Illustrator now ;)

This month I begin with new classes to learn how to manage a phisical shop, because I want to open this year my beloved shop in Barcelona. :)
