I just want to wish all my readers a very Happy New Year. Starting Jan. 1 (tomorrow!), I´ll be back from my holiday hiatus and ready to send some more great work at home business info your way.

It´s been a busy year for my family and I´m sure it has for you, too. This year, I added a new member to my family, baby Dante (who´s not so little anymore at a whopping 22 lbs!), built a new room onto my house and drastically expanded my writing business. As of November, 2007, I actually made my earning goals set at the beginning of the year, so I´m pretty proud of that.

Whether or not you believe in making resolutions, this is the time of year to start planning your business goals if you haven´t yet. Where are you going with your home business? How do you plan to grow it this year? Have you thought out the steps for achieving the level of success you want?

Success can mean different things to different people. Maybe you want to earn a specific amount in the coming year or perhaps you want to get a certain number of visitors to your website . . . or you might just want to expand enough to move into the garage.

I´ll leave you with some of my business goals for 2008, please feel free to share yours in the comments.

• Pick up enough paid blog jobs to pay half my monthly income goals.
• Get my blogs/websites working well enough to pay the other half.
• Build At Home Mom into a true community, with at least 1,000 daily visitors by December, 2008.
• Set up an emergency fund (not exactly a business goal, but important nonetheless!)
