I have actually stop working on my goals and made a list of solely photography related goals for my business. <br /><br />Since it's the new year, I should write a whole new list, but I'm feeling lazy. SO I will just update this and plod along :)<br /><br />#24 - Found a drink I like at Starbucks the Signature Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate - it tastes like a turtle. AWESOME!<br /><br />#31 - Educated someone about endometriosis...by making a blog post about it...that counts right?<br /><br />#54 - Hosted a girl's night - see pics on my blog: www.hanssietrainorphotography.com<br /><br />#82 - expanded blog readership. I average about 65 hits a day. That's more than before!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4602819414897629162-3236312289160639531?l=hanssies101.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hanssienoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602819414897629162.post-82654238201812741872008-10-05T12:38:00.000-07:002008-10-05T12:41:46.845-07:00#20 iphone - got one and it rocks!<br /><br />#60 Have a Garage Sale - seriously the worst one we've ever had. We made less that $100...not even worth it!<br /><br />#69 Bought a DVD shelf and it didn't fit all of our DVD's, but luckily we attached to to our new bookshelves and the rest of the DVD's ended up on 2 of the bookshelves...<br /><br />#74 Own a ShootSac - My husband bought me one for my birthday. Here is me using it:<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/26367252@N03/2915354099/" title="Otto 0110 by HanssieTrainor, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3054/2915354099_21e76d5b20.jpg" width="333" height="500" alt="Otto 0110" /></a><br />And then about 3 days after I got it, I won another cover with it! Yay!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4602819414897629162-8265423820181274187?l=hanssies101.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hanssienoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602819414897629162.post-29415038863100689192008-09-02T12:33:00.000-07:002008-09-02T12:41:48.203-07:00When I made this list of 101 goals I knew I wanted to focus a lot on my photography, which is now a full fledged <a href="http://www.hanssietrainor.com">business</a>! ow did that happen. When I included "design a pamphlet" as one of my goals, I had Christmas card type things in mind, but as I am working on building my business, I realized all the print media I would need, from business cards to pricing sheets to fliers to postcards. And I needed a way to do all this without spending a ton of money- small business owners should understand what I mean. And if you know me at all, I only want the best, the most unique and the most classy items out there, which usually means lots of $$$$$$. <br /><br />Well, in my quest for differentiation, I found <a href="http://4colorprint.com">4colorprint.com</a>. Their products are unique and affordable. Just wait till you see my new business cards...they are so me! So go over and check them out for all your printing needs!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4602819414897629162-2941503886310068919?l=hanssies101.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hanssienoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602819414897629162.post-49484476790942802602008-08-26T23:54:00.000-07:002008-08-26T23:57:12.893-07:00I jumped on the bandwagon and got the new iphone.

I think I am going to go "pro" with my photography. Yikes. Fear. Lots of it. What finally did it was the realization that the only thing holding me back is ME. Fear of failure. But then I got to thinking, when my parents were my age they moved to a new country where they barely (if at all, knew the language), borrowed money and started a business. And 12 years ago, they ended that business and started another one. I think I can do this, I hope...<br /><br />So for the next few months I am going to work on a business plan and on learning as much as I can. I have 5 family portrait shoots lined up in the next 2 weeks. So, stayed tuned because I may change my mind tomorrow!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4602819414897629162-4697427989378732420?l=hanssies101.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hanssienoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602819414897629162.post-8439826117724256392008-05-30T22:15:00.000-07:002008-05-30T22:19:16.848-07:00Okay, I never said I would go to a famous restaurant that I've never been to before. Last Friday, we went to FAMOUS Dave's for dinner in Redlands. It's the best BBQ place ever. Period. We actually first had Famous Dave's in Kentucky and that was incredible, more incredible than having BBQ in SoCal...must be the ambiance...oh and and the waiter with the slow southern drawl. <br /><br />So, cross one off the list, I ate at a "famous" restaurant.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4602819414897629162-843982611772425639?l=hanssies101.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hanssienoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602819414897629162.post-27150453949260199012008-05-22T15:08:00.000-07:002008-05-26T00:06:20.816-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fLU92XzZolc/SDXz9csrTuI/AAAAAAAABOo/ucaPLM5niZo/s1600-h/IMG_0010.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fLU92XzZolc/SDXz9csrTuI/AAAAAAAABOo/ucaPLM5niZo/s400/IMG_0010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5203333181497626338" /></a><br />I know, it's a stupid goal, but dang getting this juicer was harder than just going to the store and getting it.<br /><br />I have been wanting a Breville Juice Fountain Elite for a few months now (ever since I was diagnosed with endometriosis and started the natural diet). I borrowed 2 different juicers from 2 different people and every time I earmarked money to go buy it, something would come up and the money would have to be used somewhere else. Finally, last week I went to Macy's armed with my coupon. Unfortunately, their coupons don't work on "things that plug in(?!?!)" So, finally today, I could not stand it anymore, with all my fruits and veggies piled up in my fridge and bought the darn thing. Now, where on my limited counter top do I put this monstrosity? A problem for another day.<br /><br />UPDATE: So my friend emailed me tonight, not knowing I had a juicer already, told me she saw an ad for Macy's that had ALL juicers for 40% off!! I waited 6 months for the stupid thing to go on sale at Macy's and now that I got one, it goes on sale 3 days later...the story of my life.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4602819414897629162-2715045394926019901?l=hanssies101.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Hanssienoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4602819414897629162.post-29192223800601360532008-05-13T22:50:00.001-07:002008-05-13T22:52:28.044-07:00Thanks to <a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/14120617919794086361">kimz</a> who helped me complete #84 by linking my blog to hers!
