2011 is almost over, and 2012 is almost here.  Time to look back on the past year, and forward to the next one.

First, a quick look backwards, then we’ll go forwards.

Backwards

What were your biggest challenges last year?

Marketing muddles?
Getting enough time to do what  you need to do (without sacrificing quality of life or quality of your work)?
Competing (and winning) against bigger competitors?

What were your biggest breakthroughs and successes?  Feel free to share and brag!

Forwards

Now, looking ahead, what will you change for next year? Do you have goals (time, money, projects)? What are they (if you can share)?

What would you like help with? Staying focused?  Finding an ideal customer?  Meeting your goals, whether revenue or subscribers, or finishing that book you started?
