Open Elements

I’ve been thinking about doing freelance web design for quite some time. I’ve even worked on a few paid projects, but haven’t pursued it beyond that.

This weekend, I started reading The Web Design Business Kit to further understand the business side of things and liked what I read so far. While reading the 1st few pages I started to think, “yes I can do this” and as I continued to read the thought of running my own business became just a little clearer in my mind.

Funny coincidence. Today, I stumbled upon a post by Shane titled 2008 Goals: Scare Yourself in which he talks about his goal of making a million dollars in 2008. (Good one Shane!) The idea behind this is to set a goal that makes you reach further than what you are comfortable with. He also believes in telling the world about it, that’s why he blogged about it.

This made me think about my situation once again, so I’ve decided to take the first step and set my goal.

I want to run my own web design business

With that being said, I look forward to learning tons more and pushing myself past my own comfort zone.

If anyone else wants to join me in this challenge, you can start by setting your goal and saying it out load to yourself. I’d love to hear about it in the comments area.
