I never thought of it for myself until just a couple of years ago. I decided to make each year “The Year of [something]“. It became my focus and passion for the year. Of course, it was always tied in to my business and my area of focus, but it served to remind me of the thing that was important for me that year.

So, what will 2011 be YOUR year for? Will it be your Year for Success? Will it be your Year of Finally Starting That Business? Will it be your Year for Cataclysmic Business Growth? Maybe it will be your Year for Getting Out of Debt, or perhaps it will be your Year of Paying Off Your Business Credit Card, or The Year of Recession Recovery.

Whatever you decide it to be, make it a big deal for you and revisit it regularly as your overarching vision for the year. You will find that it will guide you as you make business decisions and, when the going starts to get a little rough, it will re-inspire you to press on.

Hey, why not add a comment in this blog and tell us what this year will be for you!

You’ll get tips, tricks, tools, and techniques that can make you a more successful freelancer, and you’ll learn to avoid the traps, trials, troubles, and tribulations that freelancers can face in their day-to-day work. You’ll hear from real people making a living as successful freelancers and they will share their best practices and secrets with you.

Freelancing can be a lucrative opportunity and I believe that if you work hard and work smart, freelancing will pay off for you – you’ll enjoy financial freedom, you’ll make your own hours, you’ll be your own boss.

Let me make one thing clear: There are plenty of pretend freelancers out there who buy some crappy “how to get rich quick by freelancing” book, they slap their own name on it, and then they make all kinds of fake promises about earning bazillions of dollars by working just one hour a day. That is BS and it has no place here.

My goal is simple: To become THE source for freelancers (and soon-to-be freelancers) to become successful. I want you to be able to visit freelance weekly and, as a result, make more money and find more enjoyment as a freelancer.

Freelancers can be busy and shouldn’t spend a lot of time learning how to run their business. So Freelance Weekly is designed to help you find quality information and implement practical ideas quickly.

If you are interested in becoming a freelance, or in becoming a more successful freelancer, bookmark this site and visit it weekly… or more often than that!

If I may recommend an action item: In your to-do list, make Freelance Weekly the first place you visit when you start your computer each day. Spend 5 minutes here, learn something powerful and applicable, and then return to your freelance business and enjoy greater success than the day before!
