I am so over the winter blahs and ready for spring! My motivation is always higher at this time which is good considering I haven't been feeling motivated lately. I did just get a propostion from a company for the translation of their website so I am waiting on that at the moment. It has been slow since mid-February which is to be expected with taxes and what not going on. To some extent it's my doing...I am guilty of being a little lazy and not doing much marketing this year yet, which, as I said in a previous post, was one of my goals for 2011. What happened to my motivation?? Marketing can be a full time job in and of itself and I, admittedly, was just to busy with life in general (bought a car, might have a new job, might move, etc...) and didn't want to take the time out. Isn't that terrible?
I'm back on track now though! There are highs and lows to any career and I think I've been experiencing a low. Time for another high!
Highs and lows are a natural part of being freelance... well, they are for me anyway! I say don't be too harsh on yourself for being in a low, forming good marketing habits takes time and the important thing is to just keep on keeping on (which you seem to be doing a good job of :)) Onwards and upwards!
