January Check List
2014/01/14 11:48 AM
So the new year is under way……..and there are so many things to be doing right now…….. is your head spinning yet? I wanted to give you a quick check list to be sure you remember all the things you can be doing (and hopefully are already doing) to jump start your year and make this an AMAZING one!
I know doing all these things might seem overwhelming but if you take small steps each day to stay on task, you’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish. Try to set aside an hour a day, at least, to work on whatever you have left to do on my suggested check list below. These things will help your sales, exposure and overall brand. They are a MUST to keep up with todays fast moving world.

Sarah, as always you are right on time, I needed this. My list is long, but this will help me to focus. Thanks!

Kylie – You really need to be persistant…….. calling all the time, emailing…..staying on top of them. Send new stuff to show when possible. They like that.
Well, the twins will be here in 35 days, but I am happy to report that I am done with half of the list. Thank you so much for posting it and if everything goes well I will get the rest done as well. I am adding -starting designing and scheduling fall collection- to the list for myself since the forecasts are out.
