For those of us who deal with seasonal weather, Winter can be a time when there is less mobility and outdoor activities. Many who freelance often enjoy working outside, so the Winter months have us in hibernation mode so to speak. Well God willing, all that is about to change, as the warmer weather is on it’s way. Spring will be here soon and that means it’s time to spring into action with any new ideas or events you have been planning all Winter.

Here are a few things to do before the warm weather is upon us; whether you’re just starting to freelance or have been doing so for many years:

• Prepare a list of networking events in your area that you’d like to attend this spring. Make arrangements in advance to have business cards and other promotional items to share with those at the event.
• Decide on one new product or service that you can offer to your current customers or clients. Start now to perfect the marketing of that item and then have a “Spring Launch”.
• Get a healthy eating and exercise plan in gear now. A healthy mind and body, leads to creativity for just about everyone. If you’re a freelancer and work in the fast paced online world, it’s good to have your mind and body in good working order 🙂

Here’s hoping you have great ideas to launch this Spring!
