With 2010 quickly approaching, I am revising my goals as a small business owner, photographer, Mom, Wife … and the 1000 other roles that I do nearly daily. It seems like so often, I get caught in the hustle and bustle and forget about myself. I LOVE my job … so much … I really do! But, I always have things to do and improve on.  I often forget that life exists outside of my computer and clients

A few weeks ago, I asked a question to my peers on Twitter. I asked, “What is your biggest goal for 2010″. I got some awesome responses from other work a holics like myself. One of my favorites was to live an “unstressed life”. And another fave was to “achieve simplicity”. I think I would like to incorporate both of these in to my biggest goal of 2010. I am striving first and foremost to achieve a better work/life balance. I love my job so much that it is really hard for me to stop working. I have even joked that I would like to install an “off” button for my mind. I have yet to find that one. So, I thought that today, I would share some of the things that I intend to achieve for 2010 in hopes that it may inspire some of my readers to share their own in the comments below. If you leave a comment on this post, you will automatically be entered in our super fab drawing and the winner will receive a gift card to one of my favorite places. So, leave some love in the comments section by stating what your biggest goal is for 2010!

1.  Achieve a better Work/Life Balance (Check email only twice daily, workout, read/journal inspiration daily, spend more time with my family and friends who I love dearly, stage my own intervention with my iPhone).

2.  Continue to LOVE what I do everyday and strive to be more successful at every realm of business (this includes book keeping (which I hate and thankfully hired a great one over a year ago)).

3.  Blog More: I get this request a lot from my readers but fear my life is too boring to pour out every detail. I will work on this for my fab clients, blog readers, and fans.

4. Be inspired by life!

5. Share and help others who want to learn – I truly believe in this! It makes our industry stronger as a whole.

6. Make the switch – you know, the all out photographer brawl between Canon and Nikon (yes, I intend to switch from Canon).

7.  Keep my car cleaner (Hey, it’s pretty much my second home during the busy season … I am working on it).

8.  Lose that last bit of “baby fat” that is following me around It either stuck around since I was a baby or since I had a baby.  One of the two (and I am guessing the latter).

9.  Be BOLD (if you have met me, you know I am, but I intend to carry this through in many ways)

10.  Shoot more! This includes things not work related … and finally decorate my house with my own art!

11. An oldie but goody - DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING! (FYI, this often embarasses my husband in the car)

So that’s it.  What is your 2010 goal?

(My awesome little family)
