I have now set out my financial, project, staffing and training goals for 2008, and have made a good start to them. I've scheduled weekly accountability meetings with my business guru (husband), who is also responsible for my accounts - he's been a bit slack, so the meeting is equally a good follow-up opportunity ;) Formerly, my strategy had been quantity over quality, but with some experience behind me, I'm shifting my focus towards building a high-quality portfolio. Honestly, I'm very excited about the coming year. Thanks for the kick up the a$$. A real motivator, Dave!

Thanks for the kick up the a$$.
