New Year, New Resolution, New Me?

Ok, I suppose to write a blog in December to talk about what I’ve been up to till the end of the year. Frankly speaking, last year, it has been a very good year for me. I made new friends, I learned new things, I earned some steady income monthly, (not a lot, but it is a start) and I organised a lot more on my small self business. I even learned a little bit more on stock trading through my dad. Everything comes together slowly after I moved to Slovakia. It is hard, but compare to a lot of others, I think mine is not so bad after all.

New Year is here and what I should expect myself is to at least achieve some of my resolutions that I want to set it now.

  1. Focus more on my illustrations work and try to send at least 2 OPEN CALLS.

  2. Set my small business a little bit more ambitious. More promotions throughout ads and focus on certain market to attend only.

  3. Make more aroma diffuser or incense stands. Move away from jewellery but I might make pendant instead.

  4. Focus on my students and get more data about the target age range behaviour and likes. This is for me to see what I should focus on making that might interest them. Learn more on communication with them and how I should adapt according to their needs.

  5. Finish my Art Therapy course.

  6. Experiment art therapy course through my online workshop. Get more data and analyse them.

  7. Travel at least 3 times away from Slovakia. Asia? US?

I do have other goals that I want to set, but to get it done this year might be a bit of a rush. Like looking for a shop to buy and start my own cafe business. This is a big one, that need a lot of capital and contingency cash on hand. So, I will try as much as I can with this goal but will not target to achieve it within this year.

Anyway, I am a little superstitious sometimes. Like, I love to check out my horoscope to see what this year may bring for me. Here are the list of summary that I found.
