« Smile For the Camera | Main | Growing your business with marketing, week 48: Thankful »

Being thankful

Welcome to Week 47 of my adventure of following the Start Up Grow Your Business Marketing Plan + Calendar and Week 10 as a member of the Marketing Plan Group. In my posts, I talk about my voyage down the road of self-employment as a website copywriter, my achievements and roadblocks along the way, and what I’m learning from my group experience.


It’s good to be thankful everyday – but Thanksgiving is a nice reminder to really think about the things we are grateful for. So that’s what I’m going to do!  When it comes to my work – here is what I am thankful for:

  • I’m doing something that I really enjoy (and getting paid for it!)
  • I get to work with so many wonderful people
  • I’ve had this incredible opportunity to blog for all of you (Thanks, Ilise!)
  • My business is growing!
  • Freedom!
  • I am part of a fantastic community of solopreneurs and creatives
  • I receive tremendous guidance and support from family, friends, and mentors
  • Every client, click, and connection
  • All of you, my fellow solopreneurs, creatives and small business owners, who are traveling on this journey with me!

I hope you have lots to be thankful for too. If you feel like sharing, please do!
Happy Thanksgiving!
