Freelance Writer: Eagle or Turkey in 2011?

Here we are in 2011, dear fellow freelance writer. Let’s toast this new year together with a bottle of virtual champagne. Make it Dom Perignon, we deserve it.

OK, got your glass? Is it half full or half empty? Let’s imagine it’s full to the brim. Smell the bouquet, let the bubbles tickle your nose…

Lift your glass, and let’s toast 2011.

Here’s to us in 2011: may we soar like eagles, rather than flapping around like turkeys.

Soaring takes everything you’ve got, but putting yourself on the line to achieve is worth it.

As this article points out, achievement takes guts. Will 2011 Be Your Best Year Ever? | Fast Company:

“Take a chance and soar-I am amazed when I watch everyday people take chances on televisions shows like American Idol. It takes guts to get out there and sing in front of millions of people, knowing that each and every person is going to judge you.”

You’ve got what it takes. I believe in you.

Now it’s time to set some resolutions for this year, if you haven’t already, and I hope you’ll stick to them too. If you need a little accountability, try StikK.

Set BIG intentions, and BIG goals… then set to work to achieve them. Promise yourself that you’ll toast YOUR real success with a real bottle of Dom Perignon before 2011 is over.

BTW, my Team Up program is still available today to help you to make 2011 your best-ever year — it closes forever tomorrow.

On this first day of 2011, I wish you the best writing year you’ve ever had — and I’ll help you to make it happen.
